> 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 guys 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 firewood. 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 guys 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 calls the other guy over 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!"
>
> "Well...," he responds, "I dunno...let me ask him...
>
>
> "HEY WILLIE...FOR $50 WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"
