00709

            The young bee-bop-bug enthusiast bought every record that made the top ten in the jazz world.  One day she ‘phoned her local music store, but accidentally dialed the wrong number and got the plumbing company by mistake.

            The conversation went something like this:  “Hello, do you have ‘Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes in Alabama?’”

            A deep bass voice on the other end of the line replied, “No ma ‘am, but I have a wife and thirteen kids in Texas.”

            “Is that a record?” the young lady asked.

            “No, ma’am,” the deep voice replied, “but I’m sure it’s much above the average.”
