The BBQ Pit
1

With reports of cholera in Iraq the news last night and this morning, I mused to compare the Iraqi situation with the US indian wars of the 19th century.

That collided with the old saw about the government, trust, indians and whales, and became:

Two Americans, one of whom is a Native American, and a dolphin are sitting in a bar when a federal employee of some description walks in.

“I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.” She cheerfully announces.

“She looks nice enough, I think we should let her help, it’s what we pay taxes for, It’ll make things better.” Said the american.

The indian said “Wanna Bet?”

“Hunh? I can hear a fucking thing!” complained the dolphin.

So, I came in off the porch, where I had been reading the newspaper in the sun, to share that with you.

Here, in the Pit.

Why is the whale there? Did I miss something? Is it just a whale bar?
Edit. You are not helping me with this dolphin business.

The hampster tried to eat the post, I got it back, but in the first paste, for some reason, the whale’s dialoge was gone.

Then I changed the whale to a dolphin, so it was a long edit.
You caught me with my fonts down.

Umm. Refresh or re-enter the thread, and it should make sense now.

5

Do any of these individuals live in an igloo?

6

Maybe I just need a stiff drink.

7

No, I get it.

SLK is comparing Iraq to the Indian wars by telling a joke about whales which is really about dolphins that have hearing problems.

What he failed to mention to make this all clearer is that the Dolphin was drinking a Tom Collins.

Now do you get it?

Ah!

“Hey,” answered the cheeful government employee, “I can hear fucking too!”

Then the non-Indian, not dolphin American announced, “I’m a Mexican-Canadian, why does my American country always get shortshrifted?”

And then the whale ate them all.

That’s why The Sonoran Lizard King took a tab of acid before leaving his porch.

The moral of the story is: Kill the whales and dolphins before they give us cholera.

And this should give pause to all you sushi freaks.

… and so the magic, hard of hearing dolphin says, “Oh, I thought you wanted a 12-inch pianist…”

Joke threads go in MPSIMS. This OP is so messed up, though, that I’m just gonna close it.
