A string of brief jokes idling through everyday scenes. A nurse with a tooth tale, a trout fisher pleading guilty, court records copies, a Moscow direct line joke, bakery tour gags, an inquiry about licking bowls, and quips on prosperity and buses. A final antique and print shop riddle ends with a roadside care reminder.
