THE BUMS
So this lady is giving a party for her grand-daughter, and has
gone all
out.....caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party
starts, two
bums show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for the bums,
the woman
tells them that they can get a meal if they will chop some wood
out back.
Gratefully, they head to the rear of the house.
Guests arrive, and all is going well with the children having a
wonderful
time. But the clown has not shown up, and finally, the clown
calls to report
that he is stuck in traffic, and will probably not make the party
at all.
The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to
entertain the
children herself. She happens to look out the window and sees one
of the
bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he
swings from
tree branches, does midair flips, and leaps high in the air.
She speaks to the other bum and says, "What your friend is
doing is
absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you
think your
friend would consider repeating this performance for the children
at the
party? I would pay him $50!"
Other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. HEY WILLIE!
FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"
