Loading ...Five vagrants were picked up and were standing before the judge. They insisted they were not vagrants, but were merely unemployed at the moment. The judge, obviously disbelieving, said to the first alleged vagrant, “What do you do when you’re working?’
Said the first vagrant, “I’m a cork soaker, Your Honor.”
“A what?” said the judge, a little scandalized.
“I work for a bottling concern and I’m in charge of seeing that the corks are properly soaked so they will fit tightly in the bottle.”
The judge passed his hand over his face and, turning to the second, said, “And what do you do?”
“I’m a cook seeker, Your Honor. I work at an employment agency and my specialty is finding cooks for those who want them.”
“And you?” said the judge, addressing the third.
“I’m a coke sacker, Your Honor,” he said. “I put lumps of coal into sacks.”
The judge, very red in the face, turned to the fourth, who said, “I’m a sock tucker, Your Honor. I put tucks in socks before they’re put into boxes.”
Moaning softly to himself, the judge turned to the fifth and said, “And what do you do?”
And the fifth said proudly, “Your Honor, I’m the real thing.”
