Runyon 4x-xx-xx ep51 Sense of Humor

The Damon Runyon Theatre. Once again, the Damon Runyon Theatre brings you another story by the master storyteller, Damon Runyon, and this one, Sense of Humor. Under tell-a-to-you, there is Broadway. Thanks. It is of an afternoon, one day in September, that I am sippin' in Mindy's, enjoying myself with some potato pancakes, when I am joined by a citizen who is called Joe the Joker.

Now, why he is called that is because he is very fond of jokes, on somebody else. But when I see him, I push back my clink, because Joe the Joker is liable to sprinkle something in the food just for a laugh.

Ha ha ha ha. Don't worry, Broadway. I don't play any jokes on you. No? You are sick or something? Listen, in a minute you'll hear quite a loud yell which will come from that direction right over the door.

What do you do? Plan a mind there? Hey, that is something I never think of. Broadway, that's a wonderful idea. I open my big mouth. I'll think of it later. Right now, keep your eye on Frankie for Rosie's.

Good-bye Joe. Anytime anybody plays jokes on Frankie, I leave. It's still, it's still, this is gonna be good. I hope you will have a nice funeral. Look, look, it's gonna happen. Boy, oh boy, this time I outdo myself.

You certainly... Oh, my God! It worked! It went boy, oh boy, what a hot woody get. Are you six batches in this show? Joe, I am leaving you. Frankie sees you and is coming over.

I'll let him, let him, it's only a joke. A joke like this can lead to lots of flowers. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Shut up. Police face. Well, well, well. What a sense of humor you got, Joe.
