Did someone order the comedy special? It’s fresh and funny. Today’s joke is called “Nickel and Squeeze.”
One day at a local vegan café, a woman suddenly called out:
“My daughter is choking! She swallowed a nickel! Please, anybody, help!”
Immediately, a man at a nearby table rushed up to her and said he was experienced in these situations. He calmly stepped over to the girl, then, with no look of concern, wrapped his arms around her and squeezed. Out popped the nickel. The man returned to his table as if nothing had happened.
“Thank you! Tell me, are you a doctor?”
“No, I’m just an experienced collector, as I work for the tax office.”
