Are You the Man? (1909)

A mischievous member of a club proposes the following bet: "I bet $500 that you cannot ask the first ten men you meet the simple question, 'ARE YOU THE MAN?' without being insulted." One after another reads the paper with great laughter. At last one member accepts the bet and starts out at once to carry it out. The hasty party is soon sorry to have accepted the proposition as he meets with a severe punishment from every one he approaches. When at last in danger of being arrested, he throws up his hands saying, "I give up." His friends who accompanied him on the trip explain matters to the policeman and with great laughter the party is wheeled to the club house upon a pushcart. He acknowledges "I AM THE MAN" and pays his debt vowing never to accept another bet.
