Back in cowboy times, a westbound wagon train was lost and low on
food. No other humans had been seen for days, and then the pioneers
saw an old Norwegian sitting beneath a tree.

"Is there some place ahead where we can get food?"

"Vell, I tink so," the old man said, "but I wouldn't go up dat hill
und down de udder side. Somevun tole me you'd run into a big bacon
tree."

"A bacon tree?" asked the wagon train leader.
"Yah, n bacon tree. Vould I lie? Trust me. I vouldn't go dere."

The leader goes back and tells his people what the Norwegian said.
"So why did he say not to go there?," a person asked.
Other pioneers said, "Oh, you know those Norwegian people - they lie
just for a joke."

So the wagon train goes up the hill and down the other side. Suddenly,
Indians attack them from everywhere and massacre all except the leader
who manages to escape and get back to the old Norwegian.

Near dead, the man shouts, "You fool! You sent us to our deaths. We
followed your route, but there was no bacon tree, just hundreds of
Indians who killed everyone but me."

The old Norwegian man holds up his hand and says, "Vait a minute."
He quickly picks up an English-Norwegian dictionary and begins
thumbing through it.

Oof-da, I made such ah big mishtake! It vuzn't a bacon tree, it vuz
a ham bush."

Interesting recreation of the cartoon, to say the least.

I have a vague sense that the original was a Callahan.

I love Callahan. "Do Not Disturb Any Further" is one of my personal favorites.

Bush Says Paralysis of Iraqi Government a Sign of Democracy
The president hails partisan wrangling and inaction.

April 4, 2006 - President George W. Bush said that the infighting and partisan wrangling that have brought the Iraqi government to a standstill are "signs that true democracy has taken root in Iraq."

At a White House briefing, Bush said the fact that the newly formed government of Iraq is in the grip of paralysis shows that American-style democracy can be successfully exported to a Middle Eastern nation. "It took the United States government hundreds of years to attain the level of inactivity we currently enjoy," Bush told reporters. "The Iraqi people have achieved that in just a matter of months."

While Bush praised the Iraqis for establishing such key democratic institutions as partisan squabbling and gridlock, he cautioned that much work needs to be done before Iraq can be considered a true democracy. "Iraq still has not had a major campaign fundraising scandal," he noted.

He said that key elements of a democracy, such as indicted lawmakers and disgraced lobbyists, were still largely missing from Iraq's political landscape and need to take root there. In order to kick-start those democratic institutions, Bush said he was sending Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex) to Iraq to teach Iraqi legislators how to become indicted and disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff to teach Iraqi lobbyists how to disgrace themselves.

"Only when Iraq has its own disgraced lobbyists and a president who denies ever knowing them can it be considered a truly democratic nation," Mr. Bush said.

A very attractive blonde goes up to the bar. She gestures alluringly to the bar tender who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does, she begins to gently caress his full beard.

"Are you the manager?" she asks, softly, stroking his face with both hands.

"Actually, I'm not," says the man.

"Can you get him for me? I need to speak with him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.

"I'm afraid I can't," breathes the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes there is. I need you to give him a message," she continues, running her forefinger across the bartender's lips and slyly popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to nip them gently.

"What should I tell him??" the bartender manages to say while nibbling her delicate fingers.

"Tell him," she whispers, "there's no toilet paper, hand soap or paper towels in the ladies’ room."

Five Germans in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border.
The Italian Customs Officer stops them and tells them: "It'sa illegala to
putta 5 people in a Quattro."

"Vot do you mean it's illegal?" asks the German driver.

"Quattro meansa four" replies the Italian official.

"Quattro is just ze name of ze fokken automobile" the Germans retort
unbelievingly. "Look at ze dam papers: ze car is designed to karry 5
persons."

"You canta pulla thata one on me!" replies the Italian customs officer.
"Quattro meansa four. You have fivea people ina your car and you are
thereforea breaking the law."

The German driver replies angrily: "You idiot! Call your zupervisor over. I
vant to speak to someone viz more intelligence!"

"Sorry" responds the Italian officer, "He can'ta come. He'sa busy with a 2
guys in a Fiat Uno."

A little music humor:

C, an E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat.

An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second."

An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.

The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit and stands there au natural. Eventually, the C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless. The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar.

I haven't read the whole thread so I'm sorry if this is a repost.

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his
chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says,

"OK old fart, time for you to retire."

The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these
chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two
old hens over in the corner?" The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are
washed up and I am taking over." The old rooster says, "I tell you what,
young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the
exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop." The young rooster laughs.
"You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will
give you a head start."

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster
takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse
and the young rooster has closed the gap.

He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The
farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he
sees the roosters running by. He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - he blows
the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says,
"Darn..... third gay rooster I bought this month."
