yesterday's entry brought back the memory of my submission to Weekly Reader. it was early 1954 & what I sent wasn't publishd.
first some background. my Aunt Sophie my godmother was a woman of such complexity it'd take a book to capture her. but for the sake of this story let me just say that she was fond of jokes esp offcolor ones. here's the only one I remember her telling me:
Q: where did Joe DiMaggio spend his honeymoon?
A: in Maryland.
altho at 10 I didn't "get it" I must've found it quite hilarious because I submittd it to Weekly Reader. the rejection slip that came in the mail was a generic one. when I grew up I often wonderd abt the reaction of the editors of Weekly Reader.
