OT: Joke: The Bronze Rat |
This was Emailed to me at work today. I spent the rest of day chuckling
over it.
---
A woman walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at
the exotica, she notices a very life-like, life-sized bronze statue of a
rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking she decides she must have
it. She takes it to the owner:
"How much for the bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars for the story," says
the owner.
The woman gives the shop-owner twelve dollars. "I'll just take the
rat, you can keep the story."
As she walks down the street carrying his bronze rat, she notices
that a few real rats have crawled out of alleys and sewers, and begun
following her down the street. This is a bit disconcerting, so she
begins walking a little faster.
Within a couple blocks, the group of rats behind her grows to over a
hundred, and they begin squealing. She starts to trot toward the Bay.
She takes a nervous look around and sees that the rats now number in
the thousands maybe millions--and they are all squealing and coming
toward her faster and faster. Terrified, she runs to the edge of the
Bay, and throws the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as she can.
Amazingly, the millions of rats all jump into the Bay after it, and are
all drowned.
The woman walks back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," says the owner,
"I'll bet you have come back for the story?"
"No," said the woman, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
Republican."

The thing is you could change 'Republican' to just about anything else
and the punchline would not be lost.

The Jesus/Mo cartoon site is amusing. One cartoon has the both of them
lying in a double bed on their backs when the phone rings. Mo answers
it to find Osama on the other end.
In response to a question Mo says; "I'm in bed with Jesus."
After a few minutes of silence on Mo's end he hangs up.
Jesus asked what Osama had to say.
Mo said; "I don't know. Osama can't be understood when he's frothing
with rage."

Speaking of sticks.
What do do with a horn player that can't play?
Give him two sticks, put him in the back, and call him a percussionist.
What do you do if he can't do that?
Take away one of the sticks, put him up front, and call him a conductor.

A woman walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around
at
the exotica, she notices a very life-like, life-sized bronze statue
of a
rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking she decides she must
have it. She takes it to the owner:
"How much for the bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars for the story,"
says
the owner.
The woman gives the shop-owner twelve dollars. "I'll just take the
rat, you can keep the story."
As she walks down the street carrying his bronze rat, she notices
that a few real rats have crawled out of alleys and sewers, and
begun following her down the street. This is a bit disconcerting, so
she begins walking a little faster.
Within a couple blocks, the group of rats behind her grows to over
a
hundred, and they begin squealing. She starts to trot toward the
Bay.
She takes a nervous look around and sees that the rats now number
in
the thousands maybe millions--and they are all squealing and coming
toward her faster and faster. Terrified, she runs to the edge of
the Bay, and throws the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as she
can. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jump into the Bay after it,
and are all drowned.
The woman walks back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," says the owner,
"I'll bet you have come back for the story?"
"No," said the woman, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
Republican."
Oooh, I know a bunch of people I'd love to send that to.
However, it's just not worth the backlash :P
The thing is you could change 'Republican' to just about anything else

It was originally a lawyer joke.

A woman walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around
at
the exotica, she notices a very life-like, life-sized bronze statue
of a
rat. It has no price tag, but is so striking she decides she must
have it. She takes it to the owner:
"How much for the bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars for the story,"
says
the owner.
The woman gives the shop-owner twelve dollars. "I'll just take the
rat, you can keep the story."
As she walks down the street carrying his bronze rat, she notices
that a few real rats have crawled out of alleys and sewers, and
begun following her down the street. This is a bit disconcerting, so
she begins walking a little faster.
Within a couple blocks, the group of rats behind her grows to over
a
hundred, and they begin squealing. She starts to trot toward the
Bay.
She takes a nervous look around and sees that the rats now number
in
the thousands maybe millions--and they are all squealing and coming
toward her faster and faster. Terrified, she runs to the edge of
the Bay, and throws the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as she
can. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jump into the Bay after it,
and are all drowned.
The woman walks back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," says the owner,
"I'll bet you have come back for the story?"
"No," said the woman, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
Republican."
Oooh, I know a bunch of people I'd love to send that to.
However, it's just not worth the backlash :P
The thing is you could change 'Republican' to just about anything else
and the punchline would not be lost.
It was originally a lawyer joke.
I suppose you could make the last line anything you wanted.

Can you bronze an *****? Seems like that would solve all the world's
problems at once.

At least it would get rid of the politicians, which would be a good
