A Speaking Part

Billy's father picked him up from school to take him to a dental appointment. Knowing the acting roles for the school had been posted that day, he asked Billy if he'd gotten a part.

Billy nodded happily and enthusiastically announced, "I play a husband who's been married to his wife for 20 years."

"That's great, son," his father replied. "Keep up the good work and before you know it they'll be giving you a speaking part."
