One fine January afternoon in South Florida, a little flea oiled up his little flea legs and his little flea arms, spread out his blanket, and was just getting ready to soak up the Miami sun, when who should stumble by on the beach but an old flea friend of his.
“Oscar, what happened to you?” asked the flea, because Oscar looked terrible.
He was wrapped up in a blanket, his nose running, his eyes red, and his teeth chattering.
“I got a ride down here from Michigan in some guy’s moustache and he came down by motorcycle. I nearly froze my nuts off”, wheezed Oscar.
“Let me give you a tip, old pal”, said the first flea, spreading some more suntan oil on his shoulders.
“Next time just go to the stewardess lounge at the airport, see. You get up on the toilet seat, and when an Air Florida stewardess comes in to take a leak, you hop on for a nice warm ride. Got it?”
So you can imagine the flea’s surprise when, the following January while stretched out all warm and comfortable on the beach, who should he see but Oscar, who was looking even more chilled and miserable than before.
“Listen”, said Oscar, “I did everything you said. I made it to the stewardess lounge and waited till a really cute one came in. Then I made a perfect landing and got so warm and cozy that I dozed right off”.
“And so?” asked the first flea.
“So the next thing I know, I’m on this guy’s moustache again!”
