Why would it? What makes you think this was printed during a war?
Which war?
Funniest thing I heard today: Senator Franken.
*shudder*
That is just plain SUCKY!!!
LOVE it!
I told that joke to a group of nervous cub scouts, but first I turned it into a gruesome haunted house story about a local industrialist family that had a weird sibling suspected in the disappearance of a number of their workers...added a ton of creepy detail and sent a sheriff’s deputy into the haunted house to look for a missing child...then I hit them with “Robitussin always stops the coughin’.”
Man, that was fun.
Lots of Viking Kitties with “zot” eyes ready to zot the Democrats. ZOT!!!
Yes. Well. Here’s this one . . . . . THE MAD RANCHER
Back in the days of the Wild West, a rancher comes home to find that Wild Bill and his gang have burned down his ranch house, turned his horses loose - and his wife has been kidnapped.
And so begins years of tracking down Wild Bill and his gang by the Rancher.
He follows the gang hither and yon, but everywhere he goes over hill and dale, the gang is always a step ahead of him.
‘Til one day he arrives in the town of High Lonesome where he enters a saloon where Wild Bill and his gang are drinking and gambling.
The Rancher asks one of the outlaws, “Which one of you is Wild Bill?!” - “Over there at the bar,” replied the outlaw.
The Rancher braces himself for the confrontation with his old enemy. He walks up to Wild Bill and asks, “Are you Wild Bill?” - “Yup,” answers Wild Bill.
“The one who burned down my ranch house?” - “The Wild Bill who let all my horses and cattle loose?” asked the Rancher. - “Yup,” answers Wild Bill.
“The Wild Bill who kidnapped my wife (who is now mysteriously dressed like a saloon gal and is draped around Wild Bill’s neck)? - “Yup,” answers Wild Bill. “What of it?”
“Well, YOU BETTER WATCH THAT STUFF!!” hollered the fearless Rancher, turning on his heel, jangling his spurs and walking fast and dramatic through the swinging doors.
