ep10 A Girl Changes Her Mind

Girl changes her mind as she changes her stocking. Denmark celebrates the Fourth of July. A 2000 year old aqueduct still carries water. Can you imagine that? Greetings to you all. This is Lindsay McCarry speaking to you and we're just about ready to present you with another session of Can You Imagine That?

A compilation of strange facts and odd news items. We'll be back with the first one in just a moment or two. Here's the first strange quirk of the news of yesterday year. I picked it up from a newspaper of more than 25 years ago and this is the way it goes.

I firmly believe, of course, that every real gentleman worthy of the name will grant any woman her inalienable right to change her mind. But here's a case I discovered in a 1911 newspaper which, well, let's see what happened.

It was in the traditional month of weddings June that Clyde Rowan, of Astoria, Oregon, traveled to Seattle, Washington to claim his bride, Lenora Murphy. As they were on their way toward the minister's home for the celebration of the ceremony.

Oh Clyde! What's the matter, honey? Don't look but I've got a hole in my stock. What? Oh, well, sweetheart, that doesn't matter. Clyde, I really should go back and change this. Oh, come on, now, Anara.

A little hole like that won't make any difference. Here we are, right in front of the minister's house. Come on, dear. Well, all right then. Oh, baby, doll. Come on, honey. Give me your arm.

No, Clyde, I've got a change by stockings. When I kneel down in front of the minister, I just know that runner will show. Please, I... Well, well, well. So, Mr. Rowan, this is the happy bride, eh?
