New Boots

[Jemisa]

Sam and Bessie are OAPs, and Sam has always wanted an
expensive pair of alligator boots. Seeing them in a sale one day,
he buys a pair and wears them home, asking Bessie, "So, do you notice
anything different about me?"
"What's different? It's the same shirt you wore yesterday and the same
trousers,
"What's different?" Frustrated, Sam goes into the bedroom, undresses
and comes out completely naked, wearing only his new boots. Again he
says, "Bessie, do you notice anything different?"
"What's different, Sam? It's hanging down today; it was hanging down
yesterday and will be hanging down again tomorrow."
Angrily, Sam yells, "Do you know why it's hanging down? 'Cause it's
looking at my new boots!!"


Bessie replies, "You should have bought a hat!"
