 Jumping through hoops!
 
 A lady is throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all
 out..... a caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party
 started, two bums showed up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for
 the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they
 will help chop some wood for her out back. Gratefully, they headed to
 the rear of the house.
 The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a
 wonderful time. But the clown hadn't shown up. After a half an hour,
 the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and
 would probably not make the party at all.
 The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain
 the children herself. She happened to look out the window and saw one
 of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he
 swung from tree branches, did midair flips, and leaped high in the
 air.
 She spoke to the other bum and said, "What your friend is doing is
 absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing.  Do you think
 your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children
 at the party? I would pay him $50!"
 The other bum says, "Well, I dunno.  Let me ask him.
 HEY WILLIE!  FOR $50,  WOULD YOU CHOP OFF YOUR OTHER FOOT?"
