Story 228
He Started a Brawl
Billy Joe, slurring in a Texas drawl, was so inebriated that
his hand writing looked like scrawl.
When he fell off his barstool, he could barely crawl, yet he
managed to snatch a lady’s shawl, thus starting a brawl.
This caused his poor wife to break down and bawl.
Story 229
The Fall Ball
Saul, my old friend, gave me a call. He said, “Please go to the Fall Ball
with my friend Paul. He is quite handsome and very tall.”
But as it turned out, Paul was quite ugly and very small. I said to
myself, “What gall !” So when Saul arrived at the dance hall, I slapped
him against the wall, then yanked him outside onto the grassy mall,
where I clobbered him silly with a wooden maul.
