Those were cute and true. Thanks Pburgh

Very funny...

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares,
why is there a song about him?
A. because Jimmy was also apparently a songwriter


What do you call a male ballerina? A. in Georgia, we call them "sissies"


If Wile Coyote had enough money for all the Acme products,
why didn't he just buy dinner?
A. because he was an idiot

From one of many emails my stepdad sent out to all his friends, explaining the origin of stuff that we always wonder about:

Humpty Dumpty was not an egg at all; nor was he an English king as people frequently believe. Humpty Dumpty was the nickname for a huge wooden battering ram built for the army of King Charles I in the mid-1600s to roll down a slope, across the River Severn, and up against the walls of Gloucester. During England's Civil War Gloucester was held by Oliver Cromwell and his Roundheads. While Charles' army was busy building the "Humpty Dumpty" the Roundheads were secretly widening the river. Thus Humpty Dumpty was wrecked in midstream, "had a great fall", and toppled into the water, drowning hundreds of soldiers--and there was nothing all the king's men could do about it.


Paraphrased from a routine by former Christian comedian Mike Warnke:

Adam and Eve both had belly buttons. God looked at the big, smooth expanse of flesh on the front of his masterpieces, thought for a second, stuck his finger down on each one, and said, "Gootchy-gootchy-gooooo!"


And I don't remember all the details (plus I'm rushing to get out of here and go out to eat), but I think Jimmy was "whipping" Corn (cracking the whip) and Corn was the horse that threw the slave's master after it was bitten by a blue-tail fly. Thus, "Jimmy crack Corn and I don't care. My master's gone away."

Gotta further check that last one out later.

Oh yeah, and Humpty was an egg-looking guy in "Through The Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll.

Okay...later!

That list certainly makes ya think.
