Mike then sits next to a man eating his peanuts and as he finishes the story Mike ducks under the table and gives the man next to him a 'hot foot' which then causes him to yell out in pain as Mike leaves the library. The Story of A sense of Humour - Frankie Ferrone runs off with Joe the Joker's wife, Rosa.
