The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

No More Headaches (From Eugene, our Suffolk County correspondent.) A man is having terrible headaches. He can't sleep, eat, think, or do much of anything because of the pain. Several doctors examined him and couldn't determine the cause of his problem. He finally went to one of the top neurological specialists in the country who examines him and says, "I've found the cause of the pain. Your testicles are pushing up into your spine. The constant pressure on the spine causes the headaches. The only thing I can do is perform surgery and remove your testicles." The man is shocked to hear this but the decision is not difficult as he know he cannot stand the pain of the headaches. He has the surgery and immediately fells like a new man. The pain is completely gone and he feels like he has a new life. He is so happy he decides to buy himself a new suit. He goes to a small men's shop and tells the old tailor that he wants to buy a suit. "Sure," says the tailor. "You're a 42 long, right?" "Wow, how did you know?" says the man. "Hey, I've been in this business a long time. You learn a few things" said the tailor." The tailor brought the man a suit that fit perfectly. It looked so good that the man decided to buy a new shirt to go with it. "16, 34, right?" said the tailor. "Right again!" said the man. "You're amazing." "Hey, I've been in this business a long time. You learn a few things". The tailor brought a shirt and tie and they looked great. The man said, "Hey, let's go for broke. Give me a pair of the silk boxers too." The tailor said, "36 right?" "I'm disappointed," said the man. "But 2 out of 3 is still good. I wear size 34 boxers." The tailor said, "Hey, I've been in this business for a long time and I think you need 36." The man replied, "It's obvious you know your business but I've worn size 34 for as long as I can remember. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one". "Hey look," said the tailor, "I'll sell you whatever you want. But I've been in this business a long time. If you wear a size 34 it's gonna push your nuts up into your spine and give you terrible headaches." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
