Shakespearean Play.

Two little boys in first grade were chosen to be the leadsin their first School play. It was to be a Shakespearean Play.

The first litle boy was to say: My fair maiden….”I have come to snatch a kiss and fill your soul with hope”…The second little boy was to reply by saying“Hark! a pistol shot.”Well, on opening night in the school auditorium, the two little boys were a bit nervous,knowing that all the seats were soon  going to be filled with family and grown-ups.The teacher told them to take their places on the stage and to rememberto speak very loudly as soon as the curtain goes up.

Well, the curtain rose and looking out upon the audience the two boys were terrified.They stood there frozen. So the teacher whispered for them to begin.And so the first boy yelled out these unforgettable words….”My fair maiden….I have come to kiss your snatch….and fill your hole with soap.”The second boy screams out ….”Hark! a shistol pot, a postle shiss, a pot of shit,horse shit, cow shit, bull shit. I never wanted to be in this lousy play anyway….”The audience left howling with laughter.
