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!'
