English Profs and Mexican Jokes
Spent some time in Dr. Watson's office this afternoon . . . again. He loaned me a few books to look over concerning my conference paper. While I was there I heard the following amusing exchange:
Dr. Watson: Who are you waiting for?
Random student passing by in the hallway: Dr. Batts.
Dr. Watson: I'm sorry.
There was also this:
Dr. Watson: I was a Math major for a whole semester.
Wilson: You saw the light?
Dr. Watson: I saw the grades.
Learned something interesting in English Lit today (again . . . go figure) which prompted me to go and find this little gem. Further proof (which we didn't really need) which shows that all Trekkies are certifiable . . .
And so long as you're despairing over the sad condition of the human race, check out Green Acres from Hell. I'm not sure that even Gabor was ever this bad, but I could be wrong . . . No, I'm not wrong. We are going downhill. We have to be.
And now, some amusing, but rather PI (politically incorrect) jokes:
Gallagher's joke: Why were there 10,000 Mexicans at the Alamo?
Because they only had two trucks.
Martinez's joke: Why isn't there a Mexican Olympic team?
Because anyone who can run, jump, or swim is already here.
My joke:
A Mexican, a Texan, and a Russian are in the dining car on a train. The Russian is feeling particularly patriotic after a slug of Vodka. He picks up the whole bottle, "We have too much of this in my country," and throws it out the window. The other two passengers are initially shocked, but the Mexican quickly recovers. "We have too much of THIS in my country," he says, as he throws a bottle of Tequila out the window. The Texan, not to be outdone, picks up the Mexican . . .
Anyway . . . sorry. I was amused, therefore it showed up on the blog. I'm not anti-anyone, least of all anti-Mexican. If you have any great Texas jokes (appropriate for mixed company, Scholl) stick them in the comments section. You won't bother me. And now it is time to get to work. More later, perhaps . . .
