Would Exterminate Him

Tom Wade, who represents the Curtis Publishing Company in Detroit, sends me the following drunk story, which I think is a "pip":

This guy had a touch of delirium tremens. He woke up to see a strange thing sitting on the foot of his bed and staring at him.

"Don't get tough with me, see? Don't try to get tough! Cause if you do I'll eat a handful of aspirin capsules, and then where the Hell will you be?"
