A man lay sprawled across three seats in the cinema.
When the usherette came by and noticed this, she whispered to the old man โSorry sir, but youโre only allowed one seatโ.
The old man didnโt budge The usherette became more impatient.
She said โSir, if you donโt move from there Iโm going to have to call the manager.โ Once again the old man just muttered and did nothing.
The usherette marched briskly up the aisle, and returned with the manager.
Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old dishevelled man, but with no success.
Finally they summoned the police.
The officer surveyed the situation briefly, then asked โAll right mate, whats your name?โ โFredโ the old man moaned.
โWhere you from, Fred?โ asked the police officer.
With a terrible strain in his voice, and without moving, Fred repliedโฆ โTHE BALCONY!
