Mister Ron's Basement #977 SUNDAY SALAD offers something special today! For Stanley Huntley's entire run at the Brooklyn Eagle in the 1880s, he produced a column of one or two liner short jokes called 'Folly Shots.' Some of these jokes featured regular characters -- the Marrowfat family -- and here we present a collection of them from 1881 to 1884. Additionally, we offer an hilarious story about a newfangled invention from 1883 -- 'Mr. Spoopendyke's Call by Telephone Upon a Business Friend.' Time: approx sixteen and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Stanley Huntley and Spoopendyke Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/Spoopendyke_Stories.html |
