Third Grade Teacher: "Class, who can give me a definition of the word 'ingrate?'"

Dirty Johnny: "I know, teacher, I know!"

Teacher (reluctantly): "Okay, Johnny. What does it mean?"

Johnny: "It means 'wonderful.'"

Teacher: "No, it doesn't, Johnny. Whatever gave you that idea."

Johnny: "Well, last night, I walked past my parents' bedroom, and I heard my mom say, 'That's wonderful!" And then my dad said, 'Yeah--I'm ingrate!'"

oh ribaldry from truthy, i love it! A++

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

In the original joke, the word was "indifferent," which, actually, is a lot funnier.

[xsmommy]

this thread is full of cranky@$$e$. Honestly, whether you think it is funny or in poor taste, are freepers so pathetic these days that they will just pile on a thread and abuse someone bc they didn't like the post/thread? do we need some terrorist activity to keep people interested and off each others backs?

[Jaded]

You should have seen the meltdown about Cherie Blair yesterday. I don't know why I'm still shocked at people here.

[TheGrimReaper]

From Ingrate Central (aka Houston TX)

The Houston Comical (what a rag) reports that today's illegal immigrant rallies will include VOTER REGISTRATION activities....

Does anyone else smell that really foul odor?

The leftist ingrates will do ANYTHING to the destroy this country, as long as it fits the liberal template..

Morning all!

Same here Mikrofon. My family lost everything they had when they immigrated here, even knowing they might be turned away. It took years to be granted citizenship!

[xsmommy]

catholic bashing is definitely alive and well on FR. i have never really experienced elsewhere in real life, just here. astounding.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Planting? Are you planting today Gabz?

[xsmommy]

not at all surprising. large untapped voter base there in the illegal community for the dems.

[xsmommy]

A+ i wonder how many leftists took the day off here to celebrate solidarity with their illegal brethren. i will not drive anywhere near the situs to make that call, though!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Or boycott businesses that HAVE to close because they have illegally hired staff in the first place.

[xsmommy]

i think i am probably pretty naive but i just don't think we have as many employers hiring illegals here as you probably do down there. i know i could be very wrong about that.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm going to drive by a few housing developments and see if there is any work going on.

[xsmommy]

bet no grass will be cut here today for sure.

[TheGrimReaper]

Illegal aliens, convicted felons, and dead people ---
Otherwise known as "The base of the dimocrat party".

[xsmommy]

that is about it!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I don't take the Chronicle but wonder if anyone will write in complaining that they are registering illegals to vote?

[TheGrimReaper]

We allow our dogs to urinate on The Comical, but that is the ONLY function it serves here.

The Comical doesn't react well to those who are not in full agreement with its agenda. My experience is that any letter to them will either be ignored or draw a snippy e-mail from one of their little lefty pissant staffers.
