It was hard times for two ventriloquists. Very little work could be found. As they talked, one told the other, "To be honest, I've been moonlighting as a medium."
"Really?" the other asked. "I didn't know you were psychic."
"I'm not really," he answered. "I just throw my voice and the clients think they are talking to a departed loved one."
The second ventriloquist got excited about the idea, and went out to get himself a crystal ball and turban that same day. He set up shop and soon had his first client, a woman who wanted to contact her departed husband.
"For one hundred dollars," the fake medium said, "you can hear the voice of your husband speak to you from the beyond."
The woman's eyes grew big.
"For one hundred and fifty dollars," he continued, "you can carry on a two-way conversation with him."
Now the woman was so thrilled she began to shake with excitement.
"And for two hundred dollars," he said with increasing excitement, "you can have a conversation with your late husband while I drink a glass of water."
