Recently Yale University in the United States agreed to return thousands of pieces taken from the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru.

I didn't know that the dinosaurs and the Incas at Machu Picchu coexisted at the same time in time.

How did a dinosaur manage to get on a bus unnoticed?

I was thinking “Helen Thomas is in Peru?”

Looks like the lower jaw of a herbivore.

That’s what I was thinking. I know the buses are slow in those third world countries, but this is ridiculous.

There was a lot of sniper fire at the time. Everyone had their head down, and it was easy to slip aboard.

ROFLMAO!!!!....THAT’S GREAT!!!!!!!!.............

Maybe the dinosaur died on the bus waiting to finally get to its stop.

"Looks like the lower jaw of a herbivore."

Shouldn't it be "an herbivore"?

I think it can go either way. Although I find it annoying when they try to apply the same concept to “historical.” The “h” in “historical” is only silent if you speak with a cockney accent.

I didn’t know McCain was visiting in South America?

"I was thinking “Helen Thomas is in Peru?”"

My thoughts exactly.

I can’t top that, I’m going to bed, I am.

Caption text: Peruvian officials found a 19-pound fossilized dinosaur jawbone Tuesday while investigating a suspicious package on a bus. "The jawbone that was found could be from a triceratops, even though dinosaurs like that have never been found in southern Peru," an archeologist said. Peru has struggled for years to combat trafficking of fossils.

obviously the triceratops caught the bus somewhere up North...

“I think it can go either way. Although I find it annoying when they try to apply the same concept to “historical.” The “h” in “historical” is only silent if you speak with a cockney accent.”

Or in Spanish. “historia” is pronounced “IZ-tor-ee-ah” for example. “H” is silent, and the sound it makes in English is used by the “J” in Spanish. Jimenez is pronounce “Hee-MEN-ez”

And spell-check is no 'elp 'ere at all! ;)

Don't expect his grammar to be perfect.

I'd be too shaken up to notice that error too, if my name was Herb.
