g.MALL BOY (in hosier's shop): I want a collar-for dad's Christmas present. Assistant: One like mine? Small Boy: No. A clean one, please. * ♦ * ♦ A Way Out RATHER was drafting his list of Christmas presents. His young 6on, an interested onlooker, asked: "Dad, will you buy me a drum for Christmas ?" Father shook his head. "I'm sorry, sonny, I can't do that," he said. "If I get you a drum you'll disturb me too much." The boy looked dismayed. "No, I won't dad," he declared, "I'll only beat it when you're asleep."
