Today's-------------------------------------------


A Scotsman who was on a trip to the Holy Land was aghast when he found it would cost $50 an hour to rent a boat on the Sea of Galilee.

"Hoot, mon," he said to the local travel agent, "In Scotland, it wouldna ha been more than $20."

"That might be true," said the agent, "but you have to take into account that the Sea of Galilee is water on which the Lord himself walked."

"Well, at $50 an hour for a boat," said the Scotsman, "it's no wonder why he walked."

Today's---------------------------------------------------------------DUH!

A salesman goes up to a house and knocks on the door. 

It's opened by Little Benny who has a lighted cigar in one hand, a glass of whiskey in the other and a Penthouse magazine tucked under his arm.

Salesman: "Hello, son.  Is your mom or dad at home?"

Little Benny (exhaling a puff of smoke):  "What do you think?"

Billy you ignorant, inbred, imbecile (Just a joke, Billy is not ignorant). That is not a San Francisco couple joke that is the story of an Arkansas couple. ( Sorry Redcliffsw and Flintaqua, I am from Missouri) To make it a San Francisco story you would have to have iincluded, hippiy or gay or liberal or socialist. For those of you that are offended don't get too agitated. Jokes and satire in this vain are meant to illustrate the error of bigoted, racist comments. Except when they involve Arkansas. Sorry if these jokes got too blue or offensive.

Last year Arkansas Legislature passed a resolution that exempts Washington and Benton Counties from "Arkie" jokes, being that more than 50% of the two county's residents are from somewhere else.   

I live in Benton County.

I always wondered what a Billyvarmit was; who knew it is a Red Foxx. Good one Billy. I have a lot of Red Foxx jokes and San Francisco jokes but I am not sure how blue this room is so I will stop at the last one.
