Notes: Lois likes this one because of a trip to San Francisco where she met a homeless man sitting on a blanket with a cat in pajamas. As she admired the cat, the homeless man said, "The cat is better dressed than I am." Whereupon, she gave him some money and left. But Lois never forgot the look of that contented cat and the smile on the homeless man's face as he thanked Lois. End of Notes.
