OK, OK, so you guys are now experts in English humor .... I gotta question for you ..... (This came from my step-father's English family .... many years ago - my step-dad told it to us when I was a little kid because his father told it to him when he was a little kid and he thought it was the funniest thing he had ever heard )

What's the difference between a good riddle and an elephant sitting on a sweet roll?

You've got 24 hours ........

I was thinking that you had posted that limerick in THIS thread.
Man, I was hoping you had some off-color ones, but since we are restricted, here is a clean one:

A mathematician confided
The Mobius Strip is one-sided
You'll get quite a laugh
If you cut one in half
For it stays in one piece when divided.

If you don't know what a Mobius strip is, take a strip of paper about 1 foot long and an inch wide. Make a loop out of it but put a 1/2 twist in it before you tape the ends together. You have just created a 2 dimensional object. It has one surface and one side. If you cut it long ways all the way around you will bring it into the 3rd dimension. It will still be one big loop.

OK, I'm going to take my medication now and see if I can get on enough of a buzz on to actually say "OHoooo WOW man, that's far out...way cool dude or as they use to say on Laugh In "Sock it To Me" or "Berry Intawesting" (what da ya think??? pretty good German HUH?

I know what time it is! Time to get a new sweet roll. I know why they are the same. A good riddle is hard to get, and so is a sweet roll stuck to an elephant's butt.

How about when you figure out a riddle you say "I get it" and when an elephant sits on your sweet roll you say " I ain't getting that!"

I know a gal that lives on a hill, she won't do it, but her sister






wait for it





wait for it



patience





sometimes hangs around with Jack and he has been know to stagger from time to time an fall down and break his crown and Jill just stayed home and became an old maid.


Now tell me, did I get it right or what??

OK, OK, I gave you long enuff ----- more than 24 hours - matter of fact I gave you almost a year and a quarter ...... (what's happened to the time???????)

So Much for English Humor being wasted on us Americans

Man, I almost fell asleep waiting on the answer to that riddle

[badflash]

Aw come on. Not even close.

What is the difference between a young nun and a whore in a bath tub?

One has a soul full of hope.... the other....
