girl from another ward walked into
his room and gave Humphrey a
handful of daisies. He gave her a
single rose in return.
Dr. John Najarian, chief surgeon,
said the thing that will help Hum
phrey the most is to get back to
Washington and do what he likes
best — working for his constituents.
Doctors performed a colostomy
on Humphrey two weeks ago after
finding they could not remove a
malignant tumor. Though the tumor
could not be removed, doctors said
the cancer could be kept in check
for months and perhaps years with
chemotherapy.

Navel fuzz will tickle you pink
United Press International
AUSTIN — Doug Ham and Joe
Pustejovsky thinks it’s up to them to
preserve a vanishing bit of Western
culture, so they have decided to'be
come the first navel lint entrep
reneurs.
A few weeks ago, from the cool
comfort of their offices, Ham and
Pustejovsky watched the rush hour
traffic fleeing the downtown area. It
was a fiercely hot June afternoon
and the liored businessmen had
taken to contemplating their navels
— literally.
“You know, I haven’t found any
lint in my navel for a long time,”
Pustejovsky said.
“Probably ‘cause you wear
polyester double-knit clothes,”
Ham said. “It’s wiped out belly but
ton fuzz — made it an endangered
species. ”
For $3 navel pickers can buy a
box emblazoned with the flame-red
word “fuzz. Inside is a cellophane
package of navel lint (mattress stuf
fing from a local factory), a bumper
sticker declaring “belly button fuzz
is an endangered species” and a
12-page booklet describing the
fluffy stuff’s origins, proper care, as
trological signs and tricks to teach
your lint.
Ham says belly button fuzz has
hundreds of uses, such as a last re
sort in strip poker, giving a shock to
fastidious housekeepers and hi-fi
enthusiasts, replenishing tennis ball
fuzz, enhancing the flavor of fast
food lunches, and as a tip to snooty
waiters. .
Proper care includes avoiding
vacuum cleaners, white shag car
pets, cats, Venus “fuzz traps,”
snow, rain, dead of night and Idi
Amin.
“Fuzz always responds well to
stroking,” the booklet says. “Don’t

use a bristle brush on it, however.
Also, don’t use wax of any kind on it
or try to give it a tub bath. ”
According to the booklet, the
more lively pieces of fuzz enjoy
sunbathing on the beach, but be
certain to remove it from the sun if
it starts smoking or swimming.
“Fuzz is highly-resistant to cold
weather,” the booklet claims. “But a
word of caution is in order — don’t
wear it under long underwear. It
may get lost.”
Each package of lint contains a
lifetime warranty which states “if
your fuzz should start sulking, go in
sane, or run away from home, we
will replace it.
