[00:10.50]Who made the only funny joke that evening and why? [00:16.68]People will do anything to see a free show--even if it is a bad one. [00:24.43]When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented [00:29.24]at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. [00:37.11]We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. [00:47.17]Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. [00:53.40]Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, [00:59.06]as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. [01:04.69]The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. [01:12.81]He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. [01:21.18]As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. [01:27.76]We all know what the poor man should have said, [01:31.48]but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!'
