That Old Rake Joke

There was a joke that lasted for years on the telly, in films and even in cartoons. Some buffoon would stand on the prongs of a rake thus bringing the handle sharply in connection with his face. Guffaw! Uproar!

Let me tell you, it really hurts and I've got a lump on the side of my head to prove it.

It knocked me sideways and affected my hearing for a while too. Fortunately my hearing has returned to normal.

Who put the rake in my way? I did!! And I am embarrassed at how easy it was to banjos myself.
