In The Eye of the Beholder...
Published Jan 01, 1900
A wealthy woman is giving a garden party, and several well-to-do guests attend. During the festivities, two gardeners are out on the back lawn working. One of the guests was watching the gardeners gardening, and while one gardener was busy weeding the other leaped up, spun about, and gracefully swirled, dancing for several moments... Taken by his grace, the guest remarked to the host, "That man is such a talented dancer, I'd pay him a hundred pounds to demonstrate his dancing before my aerobics class!" When the host asked the first gardener about such an arrangement, he yelled, "Hey there... Louie! Do ya think for a hundred pounds you could step on that rake again?"
