The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Heh
Shamelessly borrowed from Nourishing Obscurity (which is worth reading, if you aren't already doing so):
Did you hear the one where the ranger shoots the female bear, and ends with the punchline "Would you believe a lawyer who told you the Czech is in the male?"
Rather amusing, provided one has a taste for somewhat-long-drawn-out, so-so puns (quite a low-end form of humor...) - Not everyone, of course, can stand up to such pun-ishment -
The original version I recall from my undergraduate-days (in the mid-60's) featured timber wolves instead of grizzly bears, and a Pole instead of a Russian, but other than that...

ReplyDeleteYou know what to call this particular long tale set up simply to deliver a pun?
ReplyDeleteA shagging bear story.
Jeez, I thought I was bad...

ReplyDeleteA splendid time was badly spent by all?
Since I have heard the joke several times, it was barely amusing.
When nothing was heard from the two scientists, the park rangers went Russian to Czech on them.
My cup runneth over.

Timber wolves? and a Pole? Why would a timber wolf eat a pole? ;-)
