A man walks into a butcher’s shop and ask the butcher: “Are you a gambling man?”

The butcher says “Yes.”So the man said: “I bet you fifty bucks

that you can’t reach up and touch that meat hanging on the hooks up there.”

The butcher says “I’m not betting on that.” “But I thought you were a gambling man” the man retorts. “Yes I am,” says the butcher “but the steaks are too high.”

Thanks For Reading Tidbits!

This is what you are looking for...only smaller.

• It was American singer Josh Groban who made the following sage observation: “There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.”

• If you’re considering having a child sometime in the near future, you might want to consider this: It’s said that the cost of caring for a newborn during its first year of life is more than $6,000.

• In 1986, actor and director Clint Eastwood took on a new and unfamiliar role: political can-didate. He ran for mayor of Carmel, Calif. He defeated the incumbent mayor in a landslide, and he kept the position for two years. His salary? A whopping $200 per week.

• Often these days you’ll see someone carrying a tiny dog around with them, but you might be surprised to learn that this is not an entirely new fashion. In ancient Rome and Greece it was not uncommon for a noble lady to carry her tiny Maltese dog around in the sleeve of her robe.



Q: Although I have read several references in your column about Nancy Drew books, as a young girl I was fascinated by Judy Bolton. I have several early editions from the 1930s and wonder if they are worth keeping. -- Constance, Metarie, La.

A: The first Judy Bolton title, "The Vanishing Shadow," was published in 1932 by Grosset & Dunlap. The first 10 books in the series featured light-green cloth covers and were extremely popu-lar with young readers. First editions published between 1932 and 1940, with dust covers and in good condition, generally sell in the $25 to $50 range.

• • •Q: I am enclosing some pictures of antiques

that I acquired, including a carved chest, a spool

Judy Bolton Books

cabinet, a Norwegian trunk and a set of tables and chairs. All are in good condition, and I would like to know how much these items are worth. -- Michael, Benson, Minn.

A: I suggest you contact antiques dealers in your area to see if there is any interest. You should be aware that the economy is sluggish and values vary from region to region. For example, your Norwe-gian trunk might be worth more in your area since it was settled by immigrants from Norway. A second thing you might want to do is have your antiques ap-praised by a certified professional. Even though this will not be free, you will have an expert's opinion.

• • •Q: I have a black-out bulb that was issued dur-

ing World War II. When sirens were sounded to signal a drill, all blinds had to be pulled down and only bulbs of this type could be used, since they illuminated only the center of a room. I think it is unique. -- Shirley, Leola, Pa.

A: Your black-out bulb is truly a example of

wartime Americana. I have seen only two or three black-out bulbs in recent years, all priced in the $10 to $25 range.
