Lefty holds up a highway STOP sign and tries to sell it to Ernie, claiming it has 1001 uses. His sales pitch went something like this:
L: What do you say if someone starts tickling you (tickles Ernie)
E: Kee-hee-hee, I'm not ticklish, kee-hee-hee
L: No good. Instead you read the sign.
E: The sign says "Stop".
L: (lays off tickling) Right. Ya see, with this STOP sign, you can save yourself a lot of tickling.
L: Now what do you say if someone steps on your foot (steps on Ernie's foot, behind the wall)
E: OWWW. Hey, you're stepping on my foot. OWWW
L: No good. Instead you read the sign.
E: The sign says "Stop".
L: (lays off his foot)
I'm not sure if Ernie bought the sign or not.
