[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 226958, member: 8012"]This all reminds me of a joke that was repeated a lot in my Junior High School Days: Hey! When they were handing out BRAINS, you thought they had said TRAINS and you hid behind the door. :) Of course, this joke has been atrributed to a certain Finnigus T. Wake, who included it in a seminal work of early immigrant humor entitled "Stupid jokes we told on the boat over". Copies of this volume were given away free to those crossing the Atlantic. No copies are known to exist as it is well-known that toilet-paper was hard to come by on those long cruises. Fortunately, an obscure professor of flatuence, I.P. Weakly, was able to reconstruct the joke by hanging around Junior High schools during the late 1960's. NOTE: This practice is no longer encouraged by law enforcement officials. Mr. Weakly gained minor and fleeting notoriety in rural Minnesota as a travelling performer who could imitate various body sounds by using only his hand and his armpit. <grin> Ok, I've shared all the knowledge I have. Boy, am I winded now.[/QUOTE]
