A vaudeville ventriloquist fell on hard times.
The bookings were few and the money was thin.
His agent offered some advice:
"Spiritualism. That's where the money is.
Help people communicate with their loved ones
and you'll be set for life."
The ventriloquist hung out a "Medium & Spiritualist" sign,
and waited for his first customer.
A woman arrived and asked,
"What would it cost to communicate with my late husband?"
"We could do it for ten, fifty, or one hundred dollars.
"What's the difference?"
"For ten dollars," replied the spiritualist,
"you may hear your husband speak, but not talk back.
For fifty dollars you may have a complete two-way conversation."
"And what do I get for the hundred?"
"For the hundred," said the spiritualist,
"you get the two-way conversation while I drink a glass of water."
