A lady is throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all out. She'd hired a caterer, a band, and a clown.
Just before the party started, two
bums showed up looking for a handout. Feeling
sorry for the bums, the woman told them that she would give them
a meal if they would help chop some wood for her out back. Gratefully,
they headed to the rear of the house.
The guests arrived, and all was
going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown
hadn't shown up. After a half an hour, the clown finally called to
report that he was stuck in traffic, and would probably not make the
party at all.
The woman was very disappointed
and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself. She
happened to look out the window and saw one of the bums doing cartwheels
across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did
midair flips, and
leaped high in the air.
She spoke to the other bum and
said, "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 $100!"
The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. Hey Willie! For $100, would you chop off another toe?"
