When South Vietnam was nearing its end, and /_____\ General Minh was in charge, a popular artist ( -.- ) came to him and asked to make a statue in \_-_/_ his honor (at government expense). .-"`'V'//-. / , |// , \ "Please, General Minh, you are the people's / /|Ll //Ll|\ \ hero," he told him. / / |__// | \_\ \ \/---|[]==| / / "Yes, but make the sculpture in bronze," \/\__/ | \/\/ replied the general. |/_ | Ll_\| |`^"""^`| So the artist made the sculpture, but when | | | it was unveiled in a small private ceremony, | | | the general was furious.

But he still wanted to honor the general, so he made the next sculpture in silver. But again the general was furious. "I want bronze," he said, "I want bronze!" This time the artist made the sculpture out of bronze as asked. When the sculpture was revealed to the general, he was overjoyed at the wonderful bronze likeness. The artist then complimented the general on his deep humility. This notion confused him very much. "But why did you want sculpture made of bronze?" "Why? I'll tell you why," said the general. "Because General Minh prefer bronze!" _ http://www.funnybone.com/recommend/ _ (_'-----------------------------------------------'_) (_.===============================================._) .-..-""``""-..-.

One \\ ;:. ; // was a Duke University Law School graduate \\|%. |// from an upper crust family; well-bred, )|%: |( well-connected, and all that goes with it. ((,|%. |,)) The other finalist was a redneck from '-\::. /-' Southeast Alabama A&M. '::..' }{ The rules of the contest required each {__} finalist to compose a four-line poem in / \ one minute or less, and the poem had to |`----'| contain the word "Timbuktu". jgs | [#1] | '.____.' The Duke graduate went first. About thirty seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following poem: "Slowly across the desert sand Trekked the dusty caravan. Men on camels, two by two Destination-Timbuktu." The audience went wild!!! How, they wondered, could the redneck top that? The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought. Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped up and recited: "Tim and me, a-huntin' went. Met three whores in a pop-up tent. They was three, we was two, So, I bucked one and Timbuktu." _ http://www.funnybone.com/recommend/ _ (_'-----------------------------------------------'_) (_.===============================================._) A New Cuckoo Clock (((( { '> -cuckooo Just after I got married, I was invited / ,\ out for a night with "the boys." I told jgs /_/ / the missus that I would be home by ===//="====== midnight... promise! Well, the yarns / were being spun and the grog was going down easy, and at around 3 A.M. full as a boot, I went home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock started, and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly I realized she'd probably wake up, so I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself, having the quick wittedness even when smashed -- to escape a possible conflict. Next morning the missus asked me what time I got in and I told her 12 o'clock. Whew! Got away with that one! She then told me that we needed a new cuckoo clock. When I asked her why she said: "Well, it cuckooed 3 times, said ' @$#%,' cuckooed another 4 times, farted, cuckooed another 3 times, cleared its throat; cuckooed two more times, and giggled." _ http://www.funnybone.com/recommend/ _ (_'-----------------------------------------------'_) (_.===============================================._) ,/ \, A young farm girl answers the door and sees ((__,-"""-,__)) an older neighbor there. `--)~ ~(--` .-'( )`-, Girl: "My father isn't home, but I know what `~~`d\ /b`~~` you want and I can help you.

My father charges only ten dollars for him." Neighbor: "That's not what I want. I came here to see your father about your brother. Your brother Elmer made my daughter pregnant." Girl: "Oh.
