> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Everybody loves a good Donner party. > > (Except for Donder, the reindeer, for some reason.) I used the “Donner Party” line the other night when we were on the wait list to be seated for dinner at the restaurant. The rest of my group cracked up but the young lady at the desk was oblivious. I would have thought she heard that line every night but apparently not. When our table was ready she said “Donner, party of five” and one of my friends yelled “Four!” Nobody else got it. Apparently no students of history were dining that night. ---

Don’t make me use them on you.” The version I’ve heard ends with the bear looking at his paws befuddled then answering “I dunno. My Dad had 'em?” ---

A Grasshopper walked into a bar. The barman said ‘Why the big pause’? The grasshopper replied ‘Oh, yeah, funny. We all look alike to you, don’t we’? ---

I’m sitting in a coffee shop and two heavy set women sit down at the table next to mine. I couldn’t help but overhear their accent and out of curiosity I asked: “Are you two ladies from Scotland?” “That’s Wales, you moron, Wales.” “Oh sorry, are you two whales from Scotland?” ---

A limbo contestant walks into a bar. He’s immediately disqualified. ---

It dawns on me that this might work better if it’s just three people. Perhaps even three drunk people. One has the light up nose, saying they’re Rudolph. The second probably has a makeshift Santa hat (and needs the Ho Ho Ho laugh). ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > Albert Einstein loved the rural countryside, but didn’t get to spend too much time there, what with Physics calculations and cracking the atom and all that. So he bought a plot of land just outside Cambridge and spent as much time as he could there, just admiring the view.

Wouldn’t it have been more convenient for him to have bought some land closer to Princeton? He would have been able to visit it more often. ---

I like giving my name as “Wild”. It’s easier to pronounce than my real name. Especially with a big group it’s always nice to have them announce “wild party of 6” and we all stand up and start fake-carousing and grab-assing. 🙂 ---
