Is That a Record

In the good old days of the golden oldies, most records were sold on the Decca label.

Henry Busse had a hot hit titled, "Hot Lips." A lady heard the record on the radio and decided¹ that she just had to have it. She looked up the number for the record shop and called them.

Unfortunately, she misdialed and, instead of reaching the record store, she got "Hank's Auto² Body."

She said, "Do you have 'Hot Lips' on a ten-inch Decca?"

Hank, who had answered the phone himself, said, "Well, uh, ma'am, no, but I do have hot nuts under a ten-inch pecker!"

A slight pause.

The lady said, "Is that a record?"

"I don't know, ma'am, but it's a damned³ good average."
