Laurel and Hardy

[Alsatian]

Oliver Hardy: 'Didn't you once tell me that you had an uncle?'
Stan Laurel:   'Sure, I've got an uncle. Why?'
Oliver:           'Now we're getting somewhere. Is he living?'
Stanley:        'No. He fell through a trap door and broke his neck.'
Oliver:           'Was he building a house?'
Stanley:         'No, they were hanging him.'
