Shlomo Birnbaum was crossing the street in Miami when he was hit by a
bus and knocked unconscious.

A Catholic Priest arrived about the same time the
paramedics got there. Not knowing his religion, the Priest administered
the last rites.

Shlomo started to flutter his eyes and soon he was fully awake.

The Priest told him about the last rites. Shlomo said, "Well, I am
Jewish but what you did couldn't hurt."

He couldn't wait to get home to tell his family about
his experience.

When he got there he said to his wife, "Sadie, you won't believe what
happened to your husband today."

She said, "I don't have time. I am late for a Hadassah meeting. Your
T.V. dinner is in the oven. See you later."

Shlomo then went to his daughter's room and said, "Darling, you should
hear what happened to your Father today."

She said, "Daddy, I am on the phone with a friend planning a wedding
shower. Please close the door."

Shlomo then went to look for his son. "Son, let me tell you what
happened today."

The son said, "Dad, I am late for a date. I need the car and $100."

So Shlomo went into the other room, shook his head and thought, "Here I
am, a gentile for only two hours and already I hate three Jews."

Frank was excited about his new rifle and decided to try bear hunting. He traveled up to Alaska, spotted a small brown bear and shot it.

Right after, there was a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see a
big black bear. The black bear said, "That was a very bad mistake...that was my cousin and I'm going to give you two choices ... Either I maul you to death or we have sex."

After considering briefly, Frank decided to accede to the latter alternative. So the black bear had his way with Frank.

Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon recovered and vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip back to Alaska where he found the black bear and shot it dead. Right after, there was another tap on his shoulder.

This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him and said, "That was a big mistake, Frank. That was my cousin and you've got two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have rough sex."

Again, Frank thought it was better to cooperate with the grizzly bear than be mauled to death. So the grizzly had his way with him.

Though he survived, it took several months before Frank fully recovered. Now he was completely outraged, so he headed back to Alaska and managed to track down that grizzly bear and shoot it. He felt sweet revenge for a few
moments, but then there was a tap on his shoulder.

He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there. The polar bear looked at him very sadly and said, "Admit it, Frank; you don't come here for the hunting, do you?"

I am not sagacious enough to know if the information included in this article is true, but it's an extremely interesting tale that deserves more attention than it seems to be getting.

Oh, and is anyone in the mood for a little light music?

It was some goof off saying that he had more money and felt more secure during the Clintoon presidency than he does with the Bush presidency. Wish there was a special place we could send those people.
