| A publican is shutting for the night when there is a knock at
the door. When he answers, a tramp asks him for a tooth-pick. He gives him the
tooth-pick and tramp goes off. A few minutes later there is another knock on the
door. When he answers there is another tramp there who also asks him for a
tooth-pick. He gets the tooth-pick and off he goes. There is a third knock at
the door, and a third tramp. The publican says, "Don't tell me, you want a
tooth-pick too". "No, a straw". The publican gives him a straw but is curious
why he wants it, so he asks the tramp why he wants a straw and not a toothpick.
"Some bloke just threw up outside but all the good stuff is gone
already." |
