The Bowlegged Man
A woman was out shopping and her son was with her. They boy spotted a man who was bowlegged. The
boy pulled on Mom's hand and said, " Momma, look at the bowlegged man." Mom was mortified and told
her son that it was not polite to point to a person and make that sort of comment. For punishment, the boy
had to read a play by Shakespeare. He couldn't go shopping again until he finished reading the play. Finally
he finished and his mom took him out again to the mall shopping. Once again he spied a bowlegged man, but
remembered what happened the last time. So he pulled on his mother's hand and said, "Lo, what manner of
men are these, who wear their balls in parentheses?"
