August 2003 Overnight Lite Discarded Jokes


Americans frustrated with France for not joining us in the war point out that, if it wasn’t for the United States, they’d all be German. We forget that if it wasn’t for the French during the Revolutionary War, we’d all still be British.


It’s not true that the French are ungrateful for American help in WWII. In fact, they’re so inspired by our American example that they plan to wait two years until they are personally attacked, then join the coalition and pretend the war was all their idea.


I recently moved from an apartment to a house. While at the grocery store, I used up the last of my checks bearing my old address. When I presented it, the cashier asked routinely if everything was current. To avoid any fuss, I said it was. She started to put the check in the cash drawer, then paused for another look, and inquired again if everything was correct.

“Okay, you got me,” I said. “But how did you know?”

“Because,” she replied, “my husband and I moved into this apartment yesterday, and I didn’t recall seeing you at breakfast.”


Cowboy wisdom: If you are undecided, don’t use your spurs.



“If God didn’t want us to eat people,
why did He make them out of meat?”
