The Joke Corner
A sawmill worker dropped a quarter, bent over to pick it up, and accidentally got an ear cut off by the circular blade. His hollering drew a crowd of coworkers. Together, they started searching the sawdust for his severed ear.
After a minute one of the searchers came up with an ear and handed it to the injured man, He examined it carefully then tossed it away. "That ain't it," he said, resuming his probe. "My ear has a pencil behind it."
