| Banta, although ordinarily eloquent, had the misfortune of stuttering badly when excited. Once, when walking with his friend Santa down a crowded city street, he said with great excitement, "L-l-l-l-look at that g-g-g-girl. W-w-w-what a f-f-f-f-f-f-figure!" "Where? Where?" demanded Santa, equally excited, once Jones had managed to get his message across. "Too late," said Banta, quite calm. "She walked into a building." A moment later, he said, "L-l-l-l-look at that c-c-c-car. N-n-n-n- never saw s-s-s-s-s----" "Where? Where?" demanded Santa again. "Turned the corner," said Banta briefly. A few minutes passed and Banta began again, "L-l-l-l-l-look..." Santa, weary of having everything over before Banta could finish, said, "It's all right. I see, I see..." There was a brief pause and then Banta said, "If you saw it, why did you step in it?" |
| So, there is a guy named John, who has a really bad stuttering problem, so he goes to doctor to see what he can do. John: 'H-h-h-hello d-d-doctor, c-c-c-an y-y-you h-h-help m-me w-w-with m-m-y s-s-s-studdering?' Doctor: 'Yeah, well see what I can do?' After examinations... Doctor: 'Well, john you see, your penis is too long and it pulling on your vocal chords, I could take about 3 inches off and it should cure your stuttering problem.' John: 'O-o-o-okay.' The doctor performs the operation and john comes back a week later. John: 'Hey doctor, I can't believe it! It worked!, but is there a chance you could sew it back on? I'd rather be stuttering than missing 3 inches.' Doctor: 'N-n-n-n-no w-w-wway!' |
