Mr. Bunion: Valuables! I have nothing valuable to lose! Huh! No! Well, me to the physical culture class!

Prof. Duke: The first I'll try you with is a pair of very light Indian clubs! It is better not to strain yourself at the start off! I will then give you--
Mr. Bunion: Aw! Get me a pair of big once! I'm not so weak!

Prof. Duke: Oh! Me! Oh! My! Yes! I must get you some heavier clubs. You have quite a big muscle!
Mr. Bunion: Yes! These are toys, Prof!

Prof. Duke: You seem to handle those dumb bells with ease, I'll get you heavier ones.
Mr. Bunion: Get me something heavy! I want to build up my muscles! Bring me the heaviest you've got Prof!

Prof. Duke: You seem to juggle those twenty pounders with ease.
Mr. Bunion: They are easy! Get me some thing along about a hundred and fifty--
/
Prof. Duke: You are the strongest man who has come in here since I have been in--
Mr. Bunion: What does this weight? Two hundred and fifty did you say?

Prof. Duke [out of panel]: What trade do you follow. What is your occupation? You are indeed powerful!
Mr. Bunion: What is my trade? My occupation? Why am I so strong? Come in and look at this valise I carry all of the time!
