AS A MAN THINKETH --

     A man bet $100 he could tell a man's religion by the make of his car.  The man who took him up went with him into the lobby of a big hotel.  They tackled the first man they met.
    " I'm an Episcopalian."
     "Pierce Arrow."
     "Right."
     The next man was Presbyterian.
     "Packard."
     "Right."
     He told the cars correctly for twelve men in this manner.  The thirteenth man was a Christian Scientist.
     "A Ford -- he only thinks he has a car."
     He won the bet.

     A lawn-mower once fell in love
     With a beautiful maiden ash-can.
     She returned his affection, the dove:
     They married, lived happily, an(d)

     In time of His wisdom, the Lord
     (The course of true love ran smooth)
     Gave them a little baby Ford,
     Which takes all their time to soothe.

     Upon entering the city of Norwich one sees the warning:  "Automobiles and Fords slow down to fifteen miles per hour."
