>From a very old Reader's Digest, approximately:
Two men sitting next to each other on a plane from New York to Chicago
were having a casual conversation.
"What's bringing you to Chicago?" asked the first. The other replied:
"Foundation meeting."
"Really? I'm a foundation man myself! What's the name of yours?"
"The Lucretius B. DeVore Foundation for Desititute Musicians. And
yours?"
The first man's face fell. "Mine's Playtex Girdles."
