Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for January 06, 2025

Here’s a joke I read years ago: A woman asks her son to go and see how “Old Mrs. Jones” is, and when he returns he says, “She said it’s none of your business how old she is.”

Reminds me of an old vaudeville joke.

Two old men are sitting on a park bench. The first one says “I’m old. I am REALLY old. You won’t believe how old I am!”

So the second man says “Stand up! I’ll tell you how old you are!”

So the first man stands up.

“Now drop your pants!”

“What?”

“Drop your pants!”

So the first guy drops his pants and the second says “Now twirl around!”

“What?”

“Twirl around till you’re dizzy!”

So the first guy does this and eventually gets dizzy and falls down.

“Now get up!” So the first guy gets up, pulls up his pants, and gets back on the bench.

“You’re 94!”

“How do you figure that?”

“You told me yesterday!”

And hopefully administer a good swift kick.

I was expecting him to ask Mutt, “What color are the bus driver’s eyes?”

Notice Murphy, the Irish cop? You don’t see that anymore.
