but the comedian, equal to the occa-

make you burst right out into laughter
but l can make you smile if you can
lend me eighty dollars, and then don't
take my address,"
"The manager smiled first" continu-

1t was the mental shock of being
asked for eighty dollars, and then
realizing that he didn't have to give
it to me. A happy mental shock usu-

slapstick stuff. Just enter street car
