  1. My favorites of this group are numbers 7 and 8 near the bottom. In Corka’s cartoon, I’m a little surprised “Mrs. Jones” here thinks the Internal Revenue man is a salesman. Wow, but okay. In number 8, $37,000 may not be worth what it was in 1960 ($390,415), but even NOW it’s still a lot of money to be on the hook for. Yikes!!
