Two Hungry Tramps

[John_Betong]

Two tramps are feeling hungry and go up to a big house to see if they can do a bit of work in exchange for some hot lunch.

The lady at the house directs them around the rear of the house where there's a pile of wood to be chopped for the fire.

She asks them to keep out of the way as she is expecting her friends around for a chat.

Twenty minutes later as the ladies are enjoying a cuppa, movement in the garden catches their attention and they see one of the tramps performing cartwheels around the garden.

Impressed, she approaches the second tramp and remarks on his friend's athletic abilities and "Would he like twenty pounds to do some more?"

"Oi!, Tommy," says the first tramp, "This lady's offering twenty quid if you'll chop off another finger!"
