Sheila and Herm

This is the story of Sheila and Herm.

Sheila was bald; Herm was good-looking with a full head of hair, So he wanted to give the world his good looks. So they got married, and Sheila loved him very much.

Herm played the piano, but then he went deaf, so he quit the Musicians’ Union and became an artist, because you didn’t have to hear to paint great pictures. He wanted to give the world great art. But then he went blind, and he couldn’t tell blue from pink then from any other color, then from dark, so he quit painting and became a sculptor. You didn’t have to hear or see to sculpt great statues.

He wanted to give the world his art, but he lost his sense of touch and had to quit, not being able to hit the right places on the rocks, and finally not being able to find the hammer or chisel, then his hands. So he became a wine connoisseur. At least he had the leisure to notify the world which wines were the best vintages by nodding his head.

But when Herm’s taste went, he couldn’t tell champagne from seltzer water, so he had to give that up, and he became a perfume matcher, but the smell gave out after only a few more days, and Herm began to worry.

They decided to get Sheila a job modeling wigs.
