At a cinema near you.....

[Mikey]

An old man lay reclined across three seats in the cinema stalls.

When the usher came by and noticed this, she whispered to the old man, "I'm sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat."

The old man mumbled something but didn't budge. The usher became more impatient.

"Sir, if you don't get up,, I'm going to have to call the manager."

This time, the old man just groaned. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle. In a moment, she returned with the manager. Together, the two of them tried a number of times to move the dishevelled old man, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police.

The police officer surveyed the situation briefly and asked, "All right then, sir, what's your name?"

"Fred," the old man moaned.

"Thank you, Fred. Now, where are you from?" asked the policeman.

With pain in his voice, and without moving a muscle, Fred moaned, "The balcony..."
