You’re so funny yourself, I thought you might give me the receipt.—Frankie Funnyface. People no doubt wonder how alleged jokes are built up. It goes something like this, are you listening? The sad-looking man walked into the Palace Barber Shop to have his shoes shined. “And is your father a bootblack too!” he asked the boy, by way of conversation. “No, sir,” replied the lad. “My farmer is a farmer.” “Ah! a farmer!” cried the sad-looking man, as a spasm almost akin to joy spread over his fea- tures. Reaching into hs pocket for his notebook and pencil, he started mumbling to himself a sort of gibberish: “Farmer, hey? Farmer—hay. Son, bootblack. Son shines. Ah, I have it.— Your Father Believes in Making Hay While the Sun Shines. And the maker of bum jokes goes contentedly on his way believing all to be well with the world.
