A lady is giving a party for her granddaughter 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
cart wheels 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!"

The other bum says: "Well, I don't know. Let me ask
him."

He then turned to Willie and shouted: "Hey Willie! For
$50, would you chop off another toe?"
