"We are going back to the world."
He raised his hand
and over the desolate earth
he traced in space
the sign of the dollar.

Joke of the Day
Send in your best ones -- and don't blame us if these jokes are both poor and stupid.

Wednesday, December 15, 2004

A boy and his father visiting America for the first time from a third world country were at a shopping mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again.

The boy asked his father, "What is this father"? The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is!"

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady walked up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady walked between them into a small room beyond the moving walls. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the moving walls light up. They continued to watch, as the circles then lit up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a voluptuous young woman stepped out.

The father said to his son, "Go get your Mother!"

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says: "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 42 years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son asks, flabbergasted.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick and tired of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her." And he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone: "Like HECK they're getting a divorce," she shouts. "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately and screams at her father: "You are NOT getting divorced! Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" And she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "They're coming for Christmas and paying their own way."
