Looks Like 6
Customer: A man went into a pawnbroker’s shop and asked for a loan. The proprietor offered to give the loan but would charge 9 per cent interest. The customer object to such a high rate.
“Nine per cent”, said he, “is excessive; it is neither a right nor lawful rate. Don’t you know the Lord looks down on such questionable transactions at this?”
Pawn Broker: “Very well, my friend, but when the Lord looks down on 9 it looks like 6”.

Still Hungry
Street Performer: “Ladies and gentlemen”, in a few moments I will astonish you by eating coal, stones, and nails. I will also swallow a sword, then I will come round with a hat, hoping to get enough money for a piece of bread”.
Voice from the Crowd: “What! Still hungry?”
****
Dramatic Manner
Man: A man applied for an opening at a London theatre, “I enclose a newspaper cutting” he said “to show you I have an aptitude for the stage.
The cutting read as follows:
“The prisoner, who denied that assault, conducted his own case and defended himself in a dramatic manner.”
