Barber—What in the world do you want with a nickel’s worth for when it’s selling for a dollar a pint? Want to restore the eyebrows on a flea?
Jazzbo—Nossuh nossuh. Wanta fix mah watch. It’s got a speck o’ dandruff in the hair spring.

Fleas Be Fleas
If flies are flies,
Because they fly,
And fleas are fleas
Because they flee,
Then bees are bees
Because they be.
