"An' what's this?" Asks Solomon, examining the article that has been handed to him.
"A shoe horn."
"An' what do I want wid an ould shoe horn?"
"Thry an' get your hat on your head with it" answers Levi, amid an outburst of merriment from the audience.
"How long can a man live widout brains?" is Solomon's next conundrum.
"I don't know," says Levi. "How ould are you now?" [Laughter.]
"What is a plate of hash?" Levi asks.
"An insult to a square meal," Solomon answers triumphantly.
"Thin you can shtand more insults than any other man I ever saw," says Levi, whereat Solomon's indignation causes him to manœuvre to the right of stage in proper position for the next question.
"What's the diff'rence betwane you and a jackass?" he asks, looking sternly at Levi.
