Curious, he buys a ticket and sits through the usual circus
acts. Animals, clowns, contortionists, and other questionable
acts.

Finally the trumpets blare and all eyes turn to the center
ring. There in the middle of the ring is a table with three
walnuts on it. In comes a little old Jewish man, five feet
tall and barely able to walk to the table. He unzips his
pants and whips out a long shlong and proceeds to smash all
three walnuts with three swings!

The crowd erupts in thunderous applause as the elderly
Goldstein is carried off on the shoulders of clowns.

Twenty years later the salesman visits the same little town
and he sees a faded sign for the same circus and the same
“Don’t Miss the Amazing Goldstein.” He can’t believe the old
guy is still alive much less still doing his act!

Again he buys a ticket, sits through the acts and again the
center ring is illuminated. This time three coconuts are on
the table and old Goldstein takes forever to make it to the
table. He smashes the coconuts with three swings of his
amazing weapon and the crowd goes crazy! The salesman requests
a meeting with him after the show.

In his dressing room, the salesman tells Goldstein he’s
never seen anything like the act. But he wants to know why
he is now smashing coconuts instead of the much easier
walnuts.

“Vell,” says Goldstein, “mine eyes aren’t vhat they used to
be!”
