Only mine is true. The whole thing is true to help me. You know how they say truth is strange and in fiction, don't they? Well get this. I was working down at the Acme Engineering and outfit making hydraulic vials for gun turrets.

We had a foreman named Charlie Harris, one of those big good looking guys who thought he was a big shot because he was a boss. Well this guy was always picking on me. Like for instance, one morning I come to work a few minutes late and this Harris says, Well, good afternoon, Jordan.

I save those gags for Jack Benny. It's only a quarter after eight. Well, get here at eight and you'll be spared my sense of humor. When a guy got a right to get here a couple of minutes late, wasn't it once in a while?

Yeah, sure. Once in a while, Joe, but not every other day. Oh gee, Charlie, my alarm clock's on up, Mom. You know you can't buy a new one these days. Oh, save that for the teacher.
