Reading The Letter

Braxton and Hollis had jobs at a California cotton mill. One morning the foreman came along and found Braxton reading a letter to his coworker.

- Hey, - cried the foreman.

- what kind a horseplay you two guys up to?

- Hollis got a letter from his girlfriend, - explained Braxton.

- but he can't read; so Ah'm readin' the letter for him.

- How come you got the cotton in your ears?

- Hollis don't want me to hear what his girlfriend writ to him!
