Mark Twain - In America (joke)
In America, before the days of television, popular writers often went on lecture tours from one town to another. During one of his lecture tours Mark Twain arrived at a small town. He needed a shave, so he went to a barber’s before his lecture. While getting ready to shave Twain, the barber said, “I have never shaved you before, have I?” “No, you haven’t,” answered the writer. “This is my first visit to your town.” “Ah, it’s the right time to come here. The popular Mark Twain is lecturing tonight.” “Yes, I know.” “Have you got a ticket?” “Not yet.” “But all the tickets have already been sold out, you’ll have to stand!” “I’m afraid so,” Twain sighed. "That’s my luck. Whenever that fellow is giving a lecture, I always have to stand.”
