Mr. Hubert. Is that a specific example, or one that you were using?
Mr. Crafard. An example; the joke was not told in the club.
Mr. Hubert. From what you have told us as a generalization it would seem to be this, that any joke that left it to the imagination of the listener would be all right with Jack, but if it was specific he objected to it.
Mr. Crafard. That is right. It was pretty well acceptable all over the country that way. You take even with a party joke. If a party joke leaves in a person’s mind in most places, leaves it to a person to imagine it themselves, it is acceptable. But if there isn’t any doubt it doesn’t make it acceptable in a mixed party.
Mr. Griffin. Larry, did you learn anything that would indicate whether Jack’s attitude about these jokes was based on any concern about what the local law-enforcement people would feel about having such jokes told in his club?
Mr. Crafard. No; I don’t—I can’t think of anything that would make me feel that way.
Mr. Hubert. Was it your impression of his being perturbed, as the way you put it, was sincere or possibly just part of the act?
Mr. Crafard. It seemed pretty sincere to me.
Mr. Hubert. He never did tell you, man to man, that he objected to these?
Mr. Crafard. No.
