Slap

The story went around the U.S. last week. Everybody who told it swore that it was true. Everybody had got it from a friend of a friend of a friend. It cropped up in Amarillo, Tex. It even got a straight-faced reporting in the Rochester (N.Y.) Times-Union, the New York Daily News. The story:

Riding on a bus, a woman passenger was heard to say: "Well, my husband has a better job than he ever had and he's making more money, so I hope the war lasts a long time."

Another woman got up and slapped her face. "That is for my boy who was killed at Pearl Harbor. And this"--another slap--"is for my boy in the Philippines." At the next stop, the woman who was slapped got off.
