Jeremy Hampden hasa large circle of friends and is very popular at parties. Everybody admires himfor his great sense of humor--everybody, that is, except his six- year-olddaughter, Jenny. Recently, one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make aspeech at a wedding reception. This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. Heprepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. He hadincluded a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was agreat success. As soon as he had finished, Jenny told him she wanted to gohome. Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughterasked. On the way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech. To hissurprise, she said she hadn't. Jeremy asked her why this was so and she toldhim that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!
