Good Leering Fun

Clapping (applause) comes in all different forms. Here’s one. The kind the audience at a concert indulges itself in before the orchestra has come on stage, when a workman comes out to adjust the setting on the podium microphone. He fiddles around for a while, finishes his job, and as he sets off, ambling back off the stage, limping on a bad leg, he is accompanied by the leering claps of the audience. He, of course, is embarrassed, but it’s all in good fun. Until some clown yells out, “Try hopping on the other leg for a change!”
