Old Jerry Havens

I had a good friend, many years ago, Jerry Havens, who was quite a jokester, loved having a good time, and was one of those persons who never forgot a birthday or a holiday. On September 30, every year, there would be a birthday card for me from Jerry, and always a Christmas Card, and occasionally on other holidays.

One year, Jerry sent different puns to ten friends on his list, in the hope that the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.
