‘Chuckles’ Cont. from Page 5


"Si, Senor, that's the one."


"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?"


"From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod."


"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"


"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."


"Dead horse? What dead horse?" "The thoroughbred, Senor Rod." "My prize thoroughbred is dead?"


"Yes, Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart." "Are you insane? What water cart?"


"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."


"Good Lord! What fire are you talk- ing about, man?"


"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."


"What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!"


"Yes, Senor Rod."


"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?" "For the funeral, Senor Rod."


"WHAT BLOODY FUNER- AL?!"


"Your wife's, Senor Rod". She showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I shot her with your new Kreighoff Limited Edition Custom Gold Engraved Trap Special with the custom Wenig Exibition Grade Stock.


SILENCE........... LONG SILENCE.........VERY LONG SILENCE.

~Bill Watterson,


One Saturday afternoon, in Washington , D.C., an aide to then-House Speaker Nancy


'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every- one else, for it is an outrage to discrim- inate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.


But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loy- alty to the American people.' 1902

Pelosi visited the Bishop at the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.


The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's views."


Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."


The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."As Pelosi's aide promised, House Speaker Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated her- self prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle.


As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Speaker Pelosi was present. The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Speaker Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues.
