Ernie says, "Dis is a 2 quart termos bottle."
Rich says, "Ya, I have to get me one."
That night Rich goes home, but forgets what it is called again. Well
Rich really wants one of these things. So he decides the next day when
he asks he's going to write it down so he remembers what it is.
The next day they are down in the mine working again and the noon
whistle blows for lunch and Ernie pulls out his thermos of hot coffee.
Rich looks at it and says, "Say, Ernie, vat you got dere?"
Well, by this time Ernie's getting pretty upset. Every day Rich asks
what it is and never remembers so he decides to just make up stuff
since
Rich isn't going to remember anyway.
So Ernie says, "Dis is a contraceptive."
Rich says, "Ya, I have to get me one." And he writes it down. That
night Rich is in the neighborhood drug store and the pharmacist sees
him
walking around and says to him, "Can I help you?"
Rich says, "Ya, I'd like a contraceptive."
And the pharmacist says, "Sure, what size?"
Rich says, "Give me da 2 quart size, I'll be working in da hole all day!"
