A NEW JOKE
Maybe under the heading 'Crass.'
I came along Provender Street, and
rounded the narrow bend. The trestle
made a tunnel here, and the tracks
curved overhead and the road
ran down below. A few men stood
around, outside Starside Tavern,
where the liquor store has its funny
doorway. I heard them talking and
the one guy, with a joke, says: 'Hey!
Three guys go up to Heaven. St. Peter
says 'I'll let you in, but first each of
you has to show me something and
tell me what it meant to you in your
life on earth.' (I forget how it went
and I work here from memory). It
has to be something that reminds
you of Christmas. The first man
takes out his lighter, and says it
reminds him of candles. The
second guy shakes his keys,
saying they remind him of bells.
The third guy takes out a pair of
women's panties. St. Peter says,
'How do they remind you of
Christmas?' And he goes,
'These are Carole's.'
