Comedy Cigarette
By Lu Brent

HERE'S one for the comedy performer. Extract a banana from a paper bag. Peel it and eat it with much gusto. Now. after every good meal a good smoke should follow, so -- take a cigarette from your pack. Peel off the paper as you did the skin from the banana. Light it and smoke with great satisfaction.

The cigarette peeling is very funny since the tobacco does not fall apart. Why? Because you have one of those little cigaretteshaped cigars with a piece of white paper glued around it. It Jooks exactly like a cigarette. Perform this in pantomime.
