Your Joke of the Day (4/19/06)

This Duke Lacrosse team story reminds me of the joke about the immortal porpoises. Here's the joke:

At an acquatic park in Florida there were four immortal porpoises who had lived so long that nobody knew how old they were and they were considered to be immortal. A flock of sea gulls lived at the park and the beauty of the sea gulls inspired the porpoises and the porpoise handlers believed that this inspiration gave the porpoises the will to live forever, as long as the sea gulls remained at the park.

One day a bird flu struck the park and all the sea gulls succumbed to this flu. The porpoise handlers noticed that the porpoises became listless when the gulls were lost, and they became concerned that the porpoises would not live much longer in this world. So they set out lots of sea gull food to lure new gulls into the park.

Unfortunately, a group of stately lions lived on the perimeter of the park and scared off any new sea gulls who were flying towards the park.

So the porpoise handlers went out and trapped some sea gulls near the beach, loaded them in their truck, and brought them back past the stately lions into the park in a last, desperate attempt to save the immortal porpoises.

But as the lead handler got out of his truck, the local sheriff stopped him and said, "Son, you're in a heap of trouble now. I'm placing you under arrest."

"What's the charge?", the lead handler asked.

The sheriff replied...."the charge is transportin' gulls across stately lions for immortal porpoises."

The second one is good...that's a good G-rated joke for kids.

And how many kids today know who Mellancamp is?

I dunno, but some kids know all the top music artists from the last 45 years and have amazingly large collections by digital music files. Mellancamp was big in the 80s, IIRC, but some kids would know who he is.
