Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire. Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled. |

The
Pythagorean Theorem Revisited
|
|
|
There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin. One slept on an elk skin and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. |

Calling
the Shots

I
was in the waiting room of my doctor's office the other day when the doctor
started yelling, "Typhoid! Tetanus! Measles!"
I went up to the nurse and asked her what was going on. She told me that the doctor liked to call the shots. |

The
Art Thief

Recently
a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the
Louvre. However, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading security,
getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks
away when his Econoline van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind
such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:
"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh" |

Mahatma
Ghandi

|
|
Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere he went, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He also was quite a spiritual person. Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he almost always had very bad breath. Therefore: He came to be known as a Super callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis. |

Frog
Loan
|
|
|
A
frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate
that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack,
I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."
Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.
The frog says $50,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that
his name is Kermitt Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.
Patti explains that $50,000 is a substantial amount of money and that
he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he
has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. It is bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermitt Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $50,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?" So the bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." |

A movie producer was going to do a docudrama about famous composers. So he set up a meeting with Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Scwarzenegger. He offered them a chance to select which famous musicians they'd portray. "I've always admired Mozart," Stallone said. "I'd love to play him." "Chopin has always been my favourite," said Van Damme. "That's the part for me." The producer turned to Schwarzenegger. "And you, Arnold? Who do you want to be?" There was a long silence, then he replied, "I'll be Bach." |

For
Whom the Bell Tolls...

Quasimodo, the infamous Hunchback of Notre Dame, was getting tired of the same old routine. Day in and day out he'd ring the bell, and, frankly it was getting old. He decided he needed a little time off. So he put a sign outside the cathedral: "Bell ringer wanted, two weeks temporary work, good pay". He didn't really expect much of a response. The next morning there's a knock on the door and he goes down to get it. He opens the door to find a hunchback who looks remarkably like himself. He invites him in and they chat for a while. Quasimodo is excited, this looks like a perfect match. He decides to begin the training. The go up to the bell tower, and Quasimodo explains that the rope rotted off the bell some time ago, so he just uses his head. He shows him how it's done, smacking his head firmly into the bell. A beautiful, loud, clear ring is heard. The apprentice gives it a try, but all that results is a dead thud. "Try with less face, more forehead", Quasi encourages. The apprentice tries again, just a little better. "How about getting a little run at it", Quasi instructs. The apprentice takes a short run and gets just a bit of a ring mixed in with the thud. "Take a good run at it". The apprentice backs up, runs hard at the bell, but misses, runs out the window and falls crashing to the pavement several stories down, dead as a stone. Soon a crowd gathers below. Milling around, they're wondering who it is. "Hmm", says one, "face doesn't ring a bell". "Oh sure", says another, "that's a dead ringer for Quasimodo". |

RELEASE- PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY DEAD!

|

Veteran
Pillsbury spokesman Pop N Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection.
He was 71. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in
recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth,
the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies.
The graveside was piled with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered
the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he
was kneaded." Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later
life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart
cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as
a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived
by his second wife, They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral
was held at 3:50 for 20 minutes.

Once
upon a time when potatoes ruled the earth, there was a King Potato and
a Queen Potato. The King and the Queen had a daughter who was of marrying
age, and naturally they expected her to marry another potato of royal
status.
But, the beautiful young spud told her parents that she would not marry a royal potato. Instead, she told the King and Queen, she was in love with Tom Brokaw and would marry him. "Tom Brokaw!" thundered the king. "How can you even consider marrying Tom Brokaw! He's nothing but a COMMENTATOR!" |

Catastrophic!

Two
good Montana buddies were out hunting for a cougar that was killing their
sheep. They staked out an area of the woods near their fields, and waited.
After a while, sure enough, there came the cougar.
They patiently waited until it was close, and then they both jumped up and shot it at the same time. They couldn't tell whose bullet had taken the cougar's life! They decided to share the credit, and also to have the cougar stuffed, and they decided to take turns keeping the stuffed cougar. However, this arrangement turned out not to be to their liking. Instead, they decided to divide the stuffed cougar in two, and flip a coin for who would get which end. Bill lost, and ended up with a mounted trophy of the cougar's rear. So even though shooting the cougar was a great sporting victory, Bill thought, ... it was nothing but a catastrophe. |

The
King's Birthday Gift
|
|
|
Many years ago, in the south pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as token of their love and respect for him. And each year, the King would put last years gift up in the attic of his small house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of the large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to fall down. The moral of the story is: People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones. |

Watch
out for the Compasses!
|
|
|
Back
in the 1800's the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce
other products and, since they already made the cases for pocket watches,
decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling west. It turned
out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses
were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than
California. This, of course, is the origin of the expression; "He who
has a Tates is lost!"

this is done with consummate ease you'd expect from a Jedi Master. Anyway,
poor old Luke is having a nightmare, using his chopsticks in both hands,
dropping his food all over the table and eventually himself. Obi-Wan looks

at the next table. He had been checking her out all night, but lacked
the nerve to go talk to her. Suddenly she sneezed and her glass eye went
flying out of her socket towards the man. With his quick reflexes, he
caught it in mid-air. "Oh my goodness, I'm sooooo sorry," the woman said
as she popped her eye back into its socket. "Let me buy you dinner to
make it up to you." They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and afterwards
the woman offered to drive him home. "But it's over an hour out of your
way," the man said. "Are you sure you don't mind?" "Not at all," she said.
"I'm looking forward to it." The guy was amazed and flattered. "You know,
you're the perfect woman," he said. "Are you this nice to every guy you
meet?" "No," she replied, "you just happened to catch my eye!"

memory of Joe: It was called "Symphony in A Flat Miner."

window, searching for the knight who would free her. However, every knight
was scared away by her dress, which, as I've said before, was very ugly.
She was crying in hopelessness when the evil king jeered, .... "See,
I told you no knight would rescue a damsel in this dress!!!"

and, being intrigued by a display in the window, he went in and came home
with a dog-eared book of poems. The point of my story is: Never send a
literary dog to the grocery store because . . . he'll get verse before
he gets butter! (By Carl Hess in The Pundit)
