Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.???One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a solid brick wall and said, Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can. Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mikes fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mikes hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, That was a good joke on you, wasnt it? Mike agreed, but was not too happy.???The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can.
