(Re: last week’s Laugh Lines)

This is a true story. Phillip Hardware at 719 Main St., Hays, was operated by four generations named George Phillip, 1896-1997. Their store building is on the National Register of Historic Places. A friend was present in the store when this happened in the early 1950s. A farmer came in and said he had lost his hammer and needed a new one. George Phillip brought out the hammer and said that is $3. The farmer said, “I can order that hammer from Sears & Roebuck for $2.” finds a bear, and attempts to convert it. Later, they get together. The minister says, “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Bible. He was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.” The priest says, “I found a bear by the stream, sprinkled him with holy water and next week is his First Communion.” They look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a stretcher, bandaged head to toe. “Looking back,” the rabbi says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with circumcision.”

Email us at sentineltimesnews@gmail.com George said, “O.K., $2.” The farmer paid $2, and George put the hammer under the counter. The farmer said, ‘”I need the hammer.” George said, “If you order from Sears, it will take a week for it to get here. Come back then and you can have it.” The farmer pulled out another dollar and walked out with his hammer.
