The version I originally heard had the two sisters as Swedish (with accents to match) but you could insert your nationality of choice: There were these two sisters Luella and Rose. They were going to get a picture taken of themselves as they just got their checks. They go to the studio and after the photographer fools with the camera he tells Rose to sit quietly because he had to focus. Well, Luella being out of hearing says, "Huh?" Rose says, "Be still girl he's gonna focus!" Luella looks and says, "Both of us?" By the way, not that it matters but I first heard this from a female photographer friend of mine who has a great sense of humor and a real talent for accents. She had me rolling on the floor laughing. Richard
