Hat’s off to you astute gentlemen

Rolling papers as well.

“He says he’s a magician who specializes in giraffes, but I have my suspicion.”

Never seen an Abe Lincoln tribute performer before, Gentlemen?

He only wears that hat on Lincoln’s birthday.

On a job in a middle eastern country, that must remain unnamed, we were smuggling in maps that we created in the home office ( removing any data from that country was strictly forbidden) when we noticed a sign: Smuggling is punishable by a fine of $250,000 AND death. My co-worker carried the maps rolled inside blank paper that we were supposed to use to print the maps in-country. When he was stopped for extra inspection, I waited nearby. In the taxi later, he said, “If it was you they stopped with the maps, I wouldn’t have waited.”

He is actually smuggling stove-pipe hats.

Wallpaper? Forget it. My wife had our wallpaper removed from our house quite a few years ago and said “never again”, to which I replied “yeah, I’ll give it a few years and it’ll come back”. Sure enough, it’s coming back – BUT not at our house.

Could be a few rolls of toilet paper, too.

Obviously not “Honest Abe”

Don’t worry, I will keep that under my hat.
