and e Origins: Singing Telegram Cante Fable (Joke) (43) RE: Origins: Singing Telegram Cante Fable (Joke) 03 Mar 24

Here's a joke for you:

A telegram man goes to the door
and he rings the doorbell
and this little old lady comes to the door.
Ninety-one year old lady comes to the door.
And he says, "I have a telegram for you ma'am."

And she says, "Is it a singing telegram?"

No, it's just a regular telegram?

Oh, could you sing it to me please. I've never had a singing telegram.
I'm 91 years old. I may never have another chance to have a singing telegram.
Could you sing it to me?

Well it's not really not the kind of message to sing.

Oh, please.

I don't sing very well.

Oh, please.

Well he gave in... and with his best try:

[Stomp foot once]
Da, da, da, ta da ta.
Your sister Rose is dead.
