SMILING EASELS

   

   Two drunken men that heeled along the street met smiling easels. Therefore one of the drunken men irritated himself, held the easel in front of him and asked:

   -Why are you joked about us?

   And then the other drunken man answered:

   -They will joke about us when they elect themselves. For the time being, they are just smiling for you!
