The Ventriloquist




A ventriloquist had traveled to the South and was performing a
comedy routine when an audience member suddenly stood up.
                
"Hey," he yelled, "you've been making cracks all night about how
stupid we Southerners are, and I'm sick of it!"

"Relax," the ventriloquist replied. "They're just jokes."
                
"I'm not talking to you," the man shot back. "I'm talking to the
loudmouth on your knee!"
