A grandmother is giving a party for her young granddaughter and has gone all out by hiring a caterer and a clown. Just before the party starts, two derelicts show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for them, the woman tells them that she will give them a meal if they will chop some wood out back. Grateful for the offer, they head to the rear of the house. The guests arrive and all is going well with the children having a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the clown hasn't shown up and eventually calls to say he's stuck in traffic and probably won't be able to make it to the party after all. Disappointed, the woman unsuccessfully attempts to entertain the children herself.
She just happens to look out the window and notices one of the derelicts doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree branches, does mid-air flips, and leaps high in the air.
She calls the other derelict over and says, ""What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous. I've never seen anything quite like it. Do you think he would consider repeating his performance for the children at the party?  I would pay him $25."
"Well, I'm dunno. Let me ask him," he replies. "Hey Harry!  For $25, would you chop off another toe?"
