figured that maybe you could help me out …
Linguist – In what way, young man ?
Garbage man – With this they got on the radio.
Linguist – This what ?
Garbage man – : send in a 100 box covers and you
stand to make a little dough. Well, with my opportunities, I got about 3000
box covers together. Only, some of the answers you have to send in to the
questions …! You know, like: “true or false”.
Historian – You have those questions here ?
Garbage man – Why yeah, sure !
Physicist – Well, that’s very interesting !
Garbage man – Question one: Cleopatra died a) from swallowing a needle, b)
from snake bite, c) from hiccups.
All (snickering and giggling).
Historian – That’s my province ! I cover history. The correct answer is (b):
Cleopatra queen of Egypt, daughter of Ptolemy 13th, born 69 BC, killed
herself on the 29th day of August 30 BC, by placing an asp to her bosom.
Garbage man – A what ?
Historian – An asp.
Linguist – A small snake.
Garbage man – Well, patch my panty-waist !
Chemist – Well ? Well ? Next…?
Garbage man – Which way would you say it: a) 2 and 2 is 5, b) 2 and 2 are
five, c) 2 and 2 makes 5 ?
Fine Arts – Professor Potts covers English. Did you hear the question, Potts ?
Linguist – I did. As the verb is always given by the subject, the correct
answer is: two and two are five.
All – Potts ! Ho no, Potts !
