Speaking of second grade humor, I remember there was that one case of an Indian committing suicide by drinking 100 cups of tea.

And the next day they found him dead in his teepee.

And she was stroking his totem pole as fast as she could ....

Still didn't get any smoke signals ....

But his ears, face, and tummy were turning red.

Courtesy of Henny Youngman:

So this Indian walks into the psychiatrist's office saying, "Wigwam, Teepee, Wigwam, Teepee".

And the psychiatrist says "That's your problem, you're too tense"

you know, there is a storefront down the street that has a sign which says "Golden" on it. I never even noticed it. a neighbor was mentioning it at a BBQ over the summer, he had noticed it and was wondering what it was. it is next to a subway sub shop and a drycleaners. xshub and i noticed an ad in the Washingtonian magazine for it and it is a lewd place of some sort!
