                                                 A Product of “Ucts”


                                            The Kid was abducted

                                            The expense was deducted

                                            The student was instructed

                                            The view was obstructed

                                            The building was constructed

                                            The soldier was inducted

                                            The music was conducted

                                             But the bankrupt business was misconducted










                                                                                                       Story 305

                                                         The Dud


        Bud, please don’t do this or that! Bud’s mother would often cry.  But Bud would
        reply , “Oh, fuddy-dud !”




        Once Bud left on spigot to purposely cause a flood.  At recess he could never

        catch on to Spud: whenever his number was called – instead of catch, he’d scud.




        His classmates said he acted like the Hollywood super stud, Hud; that is until one

        day when a pretty lass in his class hammered his NOSE and besmeared his CLOTHES

        with blood.  Now instead of “Bud,” everybody now calls him -  “Dud.”
