You might be surprised how long it takes
12 year olds to figure that out! Anyway --
part of it is something else -- part is a VERY
old poem (?) which dates back to the
turn of the century. (I was younger then). <G>

A friend was standing in front of a soda machine saying,
"You are a dumb looking button. You don't have much of a future, either.
People are going to be punching you all your life. Then you are going
to be replaced by a much better looking button."
I foolishly asked what he was doing.
He pointed to the notice on the front of the machine which said,
"Depress flavor button for no ice."

<<The species "time fly" enjoy arrows. "Time" is an adjective.>>
Not really. It's a noun in apposition.

TIME FLIES LIKE AN ARROW FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA
1. (with a stop watch). Time the flies like you would time an
arrow in flight. "Time" is a verb.
2. The species "time fly" enjoy arrows. "Time" is an adjective.
3. Time goes by as swiftly as an arrow in flight. "Time" is a noun".
(in apposition, according to Bill. I cave to his expertise here. jb)
4. ??

This is the story of the lion tamer.
The poor fellow had his left arm and leg eaten by his charges.
His friends visited him in the hospital.
"There's nothing left of him," said the pessimist.
"He's all right now!" said the optimist.

Here is a slightly less 'violent' version.
An 8 ounce glass held 4 ounces of water.
"It is half empty," said the pessimist.
"It is half full!" said the optimist.
For all of you 'whether' people out there ...
The sky was 50% overcast and 50% clear.
"It is partly cloudy," said the pessimist.
"It is partly sunny!" said the optimist.

You forgot the realist, who said
"The glass is twice as big as it needs to be."
Again, the realist, who observed that at any
given point of the earth's surface, it was either one or the other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Wife goes with her husband for his medical checkup.
After the exam, the doc calls her into his office for a private meeting.
He tells her that unless she takes care, her husband has only six months
to live. "You've got to make sure he is well fed," he says, "and he needs
a lot of rest. Don't let him do any chores around the house. Keep the
house spotless to avoid germs."
On the way home, the husband asks her what the doctor said,
She looked at him and said, "You've got six months to live."

"Well, well, well," said the wicked wolf, "<??> Little Red Riding Hood!
Where's our pretty little girl going with her little basket?"
"OK, mother," responded Little Red Riding Hood, and took a little basket
and started off. On her route to the cottage of her grandmother, Little
Red Riding Hood met an enormous wolf.
"I'm going to my grandmother's" replies the little girl. "Gramma's sick
in bed. I'm taking her some bread and butter and sugar cookies."
"Oho! Have a pleasant walk," said the wicked wolf, but he thought to
himself, "I'll take a short cut to the cottage of her grandmother. I'll
catch
up with her later, and then -- O boy!"
Under no circumstances, don't stop to talk with strangers.
O where, o where has my Riding Hood gone?
O where, o where can she be?
(Now I'm starting to get confused....)

Very good! Let's see -- it's been 20 years since I deciphered
those! Here is what I come up with:
Zee villi derdego See Willie! There they go!
Tauzan buzzess ennero A thousand busses in a row!
nojo, demain buzzess demmiz truxx No, Joe, them ain't busses,
Vazzinem? Them is trucks!
Summit cousin, summit dux. What's in them?
Some with cows in -- some with ducks!
Ici bili, heres ago I see, Billy. Here they go!
Fortibus es inaro Forty busses, in a row!
Noces mari, thebi trux Not such, Mary, they be trucks.
Vatis inim? What's in them?
Pax a dux! Packs of ducks!
These last two ditties are very old -- dating back to at least the
early 1900s when trucks and busses were the "new technology."
They are vaguely ethnic -- probably not politically
correct in the 1990s, except that they are so obscure that one
easily offended cannot really be sure it is his/her group
being satired!

Subj: The pig with a wood leg Section:
A guy driving in the country.
Sees a pig with a wooden leg, hobbling around a farmer's front yard.
Intrigued. Wouldn't you be?
Stopped; went to the door, knocked.
When the farmer appeared, asked him about the animal.
"Oh yes," said, the farmer. "That's Homer. We owe a lot to Homer!
A year or so ago, our house caught on fire, and it was Homer that
made pig noises outside until we roused ourselves. Without
Homer, we'd have all died a horrible death!"
"Is that how he got his wooden leg?" asked the traveler.
"No," said the farmer, "but let me tell you about last year. Last
year my small daughter was swimming in the tank (Texas for "pond")
and was drowning. Homer plunged in and dragged her to land! We sure
do own a lot to Homer!
"But the leg!" expostulated the frustrated traveler.
""Well," said the farmer, slowly. "Homer being so special, and all,
We just couldn't bring ourselves to eat him all at once!"

Help me. My store of jokes is dwindling and I need new ones to tell my

Send me your tired, your poor, your wretched refuse...
It can be no worse than mine...and certainly no older. :-)

Thanks. I am a lightbulb joke freak. My favorite is funny to me because
I can identify with it.
How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
None, thank you. I will just sit in the dark.
It's OK if you don't think it's funny. My kids don't either.

>>You forgot the realist, who said
"The glass is twice as big as it needs to be." <<
Or maybe there's just plenty of room in the glass to swirl the water
around, so if that's what needs to be done, then the glass is just the
right size? <s>

In order to be 'politically correct' we can't leave out the fatalist (That
is a pessimist with an attitude. A real BAD attitude.):
"Who cares. It's not enough water to live so I'm going to die anyway."
- and -
"So what! That just means it will rain 50% of the time and I'm going to
get wet."
Yet still, we best not forget the pragmatist:
"I'll make do with however much water is there."
- and -
"I'm not at any point on the earth, I'm here. So I better take sun screen
and an umbrella."
