Don't be too sensitive. In Texas we tell Aggie jokes. Aggies are graduates of Texas A&M University. (The A&M stands for Agricultural and Mechanical). Actually, Texas A&M is a great university and there's just a long history of joke-telling between it and the University of Texas at Austin.

"An Aggie was down on his luck so he decided to go out and kidnap a child to get the ransom. He went to the park and snuck up on one of the kids. He grabbed him and took him behind a tree. He told the kid that he was kidnapped and pinned a note on the kid's shirt that read, "I have kidnapped your child. If you want to see him again, put $20,000 in a sack and leave it in front of the tree at the park. Signed, An Aggie."

He told the child to make sure his parents saw the note and sent the child home."

The next day the Aggie went to the tree to find the sack. He looked inside and found the money he had asked for and a note that read, "How could one Aggie do this to another Aggie"?"

" The teachers at A&M were having their weekly staff meeting when one teacher spoke up and said "Do you people realize we have a student here who has been attending classes for over nine years and he still hasn't receiced a degree???"

Why no we didn't know that . What can we do? We don't want A&M to get a bad name. I know, one teacher said, "Let's gather all the students at Kyle field and give this guy a pop test. Something simple he can't possibly miss, and then we will hand him his diploma."

The next day everyone was gathered in the stadium. The teacher announced over the PA system, now son if you can answer this question, you will become a graduate of Texas A&M. Okay?

Okay he said.

Now take your time and answer this. How much is 3 plus 4? The student became deep in thought for a long period of time. Finally he spoke. The answer is 7!

The crowd went into an uproar and started hollering, whooping, and chanting, GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE, GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE !"

Here's one that Ronald Reagan reportedly told once:

Q: You go to a cockfight. How do you know if a [Polish person] is there?
A: Someone enters a duck.


Q: How do you know if an Irishman is there?
A: Someone bets on the duck.


Q: How do you know if an Italian is there?
A: The duck wins.

The Polish Air Force developed their own stealth fighter; however, the first test flight was a total failure. It didn't get off the ground 'til it ran out of coal.

I lived near Hamtramck, Michigan at one time. It used to be a beautiful, immaculate middle class community in the middle of Detroit, around 90% or more Polish. It is sad to see it now, having become a muslim population center.

Non-Jews of Polish descent suffered over 100,000 deaths at Auschwitz. The Germans forcibly deported approximately 2,000,000 Polish gentiles into labor for the Third Reich. The Russians deported almost 1,700,000 Polish non-Jews to Siberia.

http://www.remember.org/forgotten/

On August 22, 1939, a few days before the official start of World War II, Hitler authorized his commanders, with these infamous words, to kill "without pity or mercy, all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space [lebensraum] we need".

Heinrich Himmler echoed Hitler's decree: "All Poles will disappear from the world.... It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles."

Rich Sobolewski my fraternity brother, two-hundred-thirty pounds of wrestler--the last thing on anyone's mind would be a Polish joke.

I enjoy the BlondeStar joke, the blonde calls up panicky that she's locked herself on the inside of the car.

It's always best to first remain calm in these emergencies.

Do you see that little plunger thingy on top of the door?

I want you to pull it.

Oh you're amAZing!

That's what we're here for, and thank you for using BlondeStar.

haha!

Aggie joke:

How do you drive an Aggie crazy?

Put him in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner.
