Our Joe Miller Contest.

Breitenstein claims that the old est joke is the one about the real estate agent in charge of a newly plotted realty tract upon which the only building was the office of the company. The agent saw SUD- posed customer approaching, the first man to call on him, so the agent started to put up bluff to impress the prospective customer. As supposed customer entered the door, the agent took the telephone receiver and commenced: "Yes, sir. think we can agree to those terms. Thirty lots in one parcel, and twen- ty in another Yes, the price is sat sfactory-$30,0 at the transfer and the remainder in 60 days. Good bye, sir" Hanging up the receiver the busy agent turned to the call CT and said: Well, sir, what can do for you?" You can't do noth- ing for me-" replied the caller. 'I am from the telephone company and Eve come to connect up your phone, that's all."
