Today's Whopper - Dec. 30, 1937
(David P.)
Dear Joe: About 15 men were idling away their time in a
saloon down near Pearl and Broadway when in walked a palooka
about three sheets to the wind. He waved his arm in a circular
motion toward the bar, saying: "When I drink, everybody drinks."
Immediately there was a grand rush for the bar. The bartender
filled the glasses.
The palooka politely waited until all had drunk their beer.
Then he drank his. As he finished, he reached into his pocket.
Pulling out a solitary nickel, he dropped it on the bar and
with a flourish of his arms said: "When I pay, everybody pays."
Fifteen gentlemen reached into their jeans, extracted a
nickel each and herded the buffaloes on the bar without a murmur
as the palooka, with great dignity, walked out unmolested.

P.S.: Please send my $1 to St. Mary's Hospital if this one
is tall enough to win a "whopper" award.
