OT: Ruth
A guy walks on stage at a Vaudeville show with a dog. The bill says "Steve
Frye and his talking Dog."
So the guy looks at the dog and says, "How does sandpaper feel?"
The Dog says "Ruff, ruff"
Boos ensue...
The guy looks at the dog and says, "What's on top of a house"
The Dog says, "Roof, roof"
Boos and jeers grow louder...
The guy says, "Who was the greatest ball player of all time?"
The Dog says, "Ruth, Ruth"
The boos overwhelm the hall, followed by tomatoes and rotten fruit. The
guy and the dog exit, stage right, running.
Back stage, the dog looks up at the guy and says, "DiMaggio?"
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY. MY MOTHER DID NOT SWEAR LIKE A
TROOPER WHEN I TOLD HER THIS STORY. I DID NOT HEAR THIS STORY FROM MY
MOTHER OR MY GIRLFRIEND. I heard it when I was about 14. I say about 14
because I was rather young then and can't quite recall. I can't look up
the date in my diary. I also can't remember when I heard it, and I doubt
Snopes will have a reference to it. Sorry...
