PULLING YOUR LEGS
ONE DAY, MY FRIEND AND MYSELF WERE SUPPOSE(D) TO MEET
DOWNTOWN AT THE SHOW. AFTER I WAITED FOR QUITE SOME
TIME, I FIGURED SHE WASN'T COMING, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE
A BUS HOME. BY THIS TIME, IT WAS GETTING DARK OUTSIDE.
AS I GOT OFF THE BUS, I NOTICED ANOTHER MAN GOT OFF ALSO.
IT SOON BECAME EVIDENT THAT HE WAS FOLLOWING ME AND I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE JUST HAPPENED TO BE A
STORE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY STREET, SO I DECIDED TO STOP
IN THERE AND PERHAPS LOSE HIM. I WAITED A WHILE IN THE
STORE, UNTIL I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE ENOUGH TO LEAVE.
I STARTED WALKING AGAIN AND SURE ENOUGH THE SAME PERSON
WAS FOLLOWING ME. IT WAS JUST A FEW MORE HOUSES UNTIL
I WOULD COME TO MINE, SO I DECIDED TO START RUNNING, AND
SURE ENOUGH, THE MAN IN BACK OF ME STARTED RUNNING
ALSO. I KNEW THAT MY SIDE DOOR OF MY HOUSE WAS OPEN,
SO I DECIDED TO RUN FOR IT. I RAN, THE MAN WAS RIGHT
BEHIND ME. I HURRIEDLY OPENED THE DOOR AND STARTED
RUNNING UP THE STAIRS, BUT SUDDENLY I SLIPPED AND THE
MAN STARTED PULLING MY LEGS!!! JUST LIKE I'M PULLING
YOURS.

A GUY WALKED INTO A BAR, SAT DOWN AND ORDERED A DRINK.
AFTER A WHILE HE MOTIONED TO THE BARTENDER. "SAY, FELLA,
I GOT SOMETHIN REALLY GREAT TO SHOW YA." THE
BARTENDER SAYS, "LOOK, DON'T BOTHER ME NOW, I'M BUSY."
"NO, YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS, IT'S REALLY GREAT." SO HE
REACHES IN HIS POCKET, PULLS OUT A LITTLE PIANO, AND
VERY CAREFULLY ADJUSTS IT ON THE BAR. THEN HE PULLS
OUT A LITTLE MOUSE, SETS HIM NEXT TO THE PIANO, AND HE
STARTS TO PLAY. WELL, THE BARTENDER IS AMAZED AND HE
SAYS, "SAY, THAT'S GREAT." THE GUY SAYS, "WAIT'LL
YOU SEE THIS." SO HE PULLS OUT A CANARY, PERCHES HIM ON
TOP OF THE PIANO AND WHILE THE MOUSE IS PLAYING, THE
CANARY STARTS TO SING IN A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
WELL, THE BARTENDER CAN'T BELIEVE HIS EYES AND HE SAYS
TO THE GUY, "I'LL GIVE YOU 500 BUCKS FOR 'EM." THE GUY
JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AND SAYS, "NAW, I COULDN'T DO
IT." "$1,000?" "NAW." "$5,000?" "NAW." "LOOK,
BUDDY, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR 'EM? I'LL GIVE YOU ANY
AMOUNT YOU WANT."
THE GUY JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAYS, "NAW, I COULDN'T
SELL 'EM TO YA. YOU'D BE WASTING YOUR MONEY. YOU SEE,
IT'S JUST A TRICK. THAT CANARY CAN'T REALLY SING. THE
MOUSE IS JUST A CHEAP VENTRILOQUIST."

THERE WAS AN OLD PRISONER WHO WAS CONDEMNED FOR LIFE.
HE WAS ALL ALONE IN HIS CELL AND IT WAS ALMOST
UNBEARABLE. THEN, ONE DAY, HE SAW A LITTLE ANT
CRAWLING ACROSS THE FLOOR. HE PICKED IT UP AND PUT
IT IN HIS HAND. WELL THE MAN AND THE ANT BECAME
FRIENDS AND THE GUY STARTED TO TRAIN HIM. FIRST OF
ALL, HE TAUGHT HIM TO SHAKE HIS HEAD "YES" OR "NO." THAT
ALONE TOOK HIM TEN YEARS OF WORKING NIGHT AND DAY WITH
THE ANT. HE TAUGHT HIM OTHER THINGS AND FINALLY HE
TAUGHT HIM TO DANCE. FORTY YEARS IT TOOK HIM, BUT IT
WAS WORTH IT--THAT LITTLE ANT WAS THE BEST DANCER YOU
EVER SAW. THE ANT KEPT GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND
ALL THE TIME THE GUY WAS DAYDREAMING HOW RICH HE COULD
BE IF HE COULD SHOW HIS MARVELOUS ANT TO THE WORLD.
FINALLY, AFTER OVER SIXTY YEARS IN PRISON, THE GOVERNOR
GAVE HIM A PARDON. THE OLD MAN WAS THRILLED. HE TOOK
THE ANT THAT HE HAD TRAINED ALL HIS LIFE AND SET OFF FOR
THE NEAREST BAR TO PLAN HIS FIRST MOVE. WELL, HE
ORDERED A DRINK AND THEN REMEMBERED HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY
MONEY. BUT HE FIGURED, "I KNOW HOW I CAN GET A DRINK
EASY." SO HE PUT HIS LITTLE ANT ON THE BAR AND CALLED
THE BARTENDER OVER. "BARTENDER, YOU SEE THIS LITTLE
ANT ON THE BAR?" "OH, SURE FELLA," AND HE SQUISHED
HIM UNDER THIS THUMB.

LATER, THE PERSONNEL DIRECTOR LOOKED OVER THE APPLICATION

WRITTEN, "FIVE OR SIX TIMES A WEEK.:"

THE INFORMANT IN THIS CASE APPARENTLY LEARNED THIS STORY
IN DETROIT AS IT WAS MAKING THE ROUNDS OF THE VARIOUS
PERSONNEL OFFICES. IT MIGHT BE SIGNIFICANT THAT
THE STORY WAS TOLD QUITE RECENTLY, PERHAPS IN THE WAKE
OF THE CIVIL-RIGHTS CONTROVERSY.
