Now, would that be about the Caper an his buddy that arrived at my Gramma's farm in Kent County, New Brunswick, on his way to Tronna fer work? He and his buddy asked for any work for supper and a night's rest. She set the Caper an his buddy ta splittin wood fer their keep while she begun settin out the tea for her bridge club. Through the kitchen winda, she spied buddy justa dancin and doin all kinds a jumpin around. So, she asked the Caper if his buddy could give this demonstration of Airobics and warm up exercise regimen to her bridge club. The Caper replied, "I don't know if George could take another crack in the nuts with the axe like that agin."

Yeah, it's an oooold joke, but I still like it.
