Party Clown Replacement
A woman is giving a party for her grand daughter and arranged everything, caterer, band, clown, you name it, she got it.
Just before the party starts, two bums show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for them, the woman tells them that they can get a meal if they will chop some wood out back. Grateful, they head to the rear of the house and start chopping the wood.
Party guests arrive and all is going well. The children are having a wonderful time, but the clown has not shown up.
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. Just then, 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 $100"!
The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. Hey Fred! for $100, would you chop off another toe"?
