  1. Once upon a time a man was coming home from a pub. There was a crowd of men there. This man had a deck of cards at home and he had no Joker. He stole the Joker from the men in the pub. When he was coming home he took the Joker out of his pocket and looked at it. It was snapped out of his hand by a little black man. The man that was coming home from the pub never saw the little man or the Joker ever after.
