snowyday Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 A doctor in want of a strong lad, advertised to that effect, and being a ventriloquist, adopted the following grim ruse to test the nerves of the applicants. The first, a great hulking lad, he sent with a bowl of hot soup to feed a skeleton he had in a dark closet. During the process of feeding, the skeleton observed in a deep voice: It’s sure hot.†The boy’s hair stood on end. He dropped the bowl and fled in terror. The second applicant, a small bushy-haired lad, had to go through the same ordeal: but when the skeleton made his remark, he replied unconcernedly, “I could have told you that. Blow on it you fool.†He got the job. * * * * snowyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
