CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS VERY CAREFULLY
Three friends were having lunch together — Jack Benny, George Burns and Edgar Bergen. Jack Benny had a reputation for being tight. George Burns said he had a “reach impediment” when it came to picking up the bill, and was, therefore surprised to hear Benny ask for the check. On the way out he complimented Benny, “That was good of you to ask for the check,” he told him. Benny replied, “I did not ask for the check, and that’s the last time I’ll have lunch with a ventriloquist.”
