Show Triple Return An American comedian had just completed a tour of English theaters. The actor was asked how he liked playing before the English Eng-lish audiences. i "Splendid." he enthused. "I prefer pre-fer them to American audiences." "Why is that?" "When the English audience hears an amusing story it laughs first to be polite, then it laughs again when it hears others laugh, then it laughs a third time when it gets the point of the story." Comes Out Even The American visitor to London delighted in listening to the Cockneys Cock-neys talk. It was so novel to him that he would engage them in conversation con-versation just to hear the different accent. He was riding on the "underground" "under-ground" one day when he heard the conductor shout, " 'ighbridge next stop, 'ighbridge." ' When the conductor passed him the American couldn't resist his little joke. "I beg your pardon," he said, "but didn't you drop something back there?" "Hi see wot you mean," replied the conductor, "but don't be alarmed. Hi'll pick hit hup hagain when we reach Hoxford Street." |
