Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for January 24, 2015

Old joke::A married man answers the telephone, and after a moment says, “I wouldn’t know; you’d better call the weather service.” His wife asks who it was, and he says, “Some guy who wanted to know if the coast is clear.”

And it’s a long way to Tipperary, too.

Young people today have no idea what this is about. Long distance calls via a telephone operator has long been a thing os the past.

I absolutely hate recorded messages, I get them a lot.

It’s mostly on the house phone.

First guy “Hello!…You don’t say…you don’t say….you don’t say!”

Second guy “So what did he say?”

First guy “He didn’t say”

Audience “Boooo hissss.”

Toby and Suzie used that same gag.
