Fair, Fat and Tide-y.

A Kansan sat on the beach at Atlantic City watching a fair and very fat bather disporting herself in the surf. He knew nothing of tides and he did not notice that each succeeding wave came a little closer to his feet. At last an extra-big wave washed over his shoetops. “Hey, there!” he yelled at the fair, fat bather. “Quit yer jumpin’ up and down! D'ye want to drown me?”— Everybody’s.
