Studd Jokes

Because he spent the nights howling as he made love to one svelte kitten or another, the aggressive tomcat Studd was a source of irritation to the neighborhood. Thus, Mr. Essoe reluctantly took the proud cat to be neutered.
A few days later, one of the neighbors happened to meet Mr. Essoe in the street. The men apologized for the inconvenience each had caused the other, after which the neighbor tried to lighten the conversation.
"Yeah," he said, "it's been a rough time, but I'll bet ole Studd's probably leading a more relaxed life now, just lyin' around and gettin' fat."
"Quite the contrary," Mr. Essoe replied with a trace of pride. "He's still out each night, onlyj now he goes as a consultant."
