“What are you smiling at?” my wife wanted to know.

“We are   28   ” I said.

“But the people in the Great Plains are Americans too.”

The weatherman   34   “Low temperatures will be  35  to Texas.”

“Don’t cry   36   Texas,” I said.

  42   you.”

The weatherman went on saying, “And we can expect two inches of   43   in the Washington area by tomorrow’s rush hour.”
