    A man walks up to the border separating the United States from

    The border guard asks, "Where are you going?"

    "No.  I was just robbed.  They took my car, my wallet...everything."

    "Do you have any way to prove you're an American?"

Sheesh, hasn't someone corrected this one yet?  It comes from the movie
"The Princess Bride", and a more accurate version is:

"I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain.
 Present I'm writing the definitive work on the subject, so I'd like you
 to be totally honest with me on how the machine makes you feel. [...]
 Tell me.  Oh and remember, this is for posterity so be honest.  How do

Actually, if you want to flame Brigham Young, you should research how the
experts have done it.  For a very funny (and untrue) version I recommend
Mark Twain's account in 'Roughing it Easy'.  He fabricates a tale where 
a visitor to Brigham Young's household slipped one of the children a tin
whistle.  Brigham discovered the deed too late to prevent it, and sent
vigilantes after the miscreant to bring him to justice but he escaped.  In
the meantime, all the other children (hundreds, according to Mark Twain)
demanded tin whistles as well.  The din was tremendous, and the adults
had to resort to sign language at dinner time.

I think even Brigham Young would have found the story funny.  By the way,
as I remember my Utah history, the number of his wives was considerable,
but I don't think it was more than about 35.  And I think there is a fair
amount of truth to Mark Twain's tale -- managing even one wife and one
family is more than enough work for me!

For anyone who has not seen the answer to this simple problem -
The hotel got $25 - the bellhop kept $2 for a total of $27 which is
the amount the 3 guests paid - or for those who still don't get it
  
The hotel got $25, the bellhop $2 and the guests $3 which totals the
original $30.

All right, I tried it, but I couldn't read the scale in the dark and it swung back

	This has got to be the newest Yogi-ism:

	"I'll believe it, when I believe it."  -Y.B.

	He says it on that new Pringles potato chip commercial.  I found the
commercial pretty damn funny.  My younger brother was sitting there watching
the commercial, and he said, "who the hell is that little ugly f*#@er?"  To
which I replied, "Yogi Berra."  "I though that he was a cartoon character,"
he said.   Which made me feel like an old turd!

"Praise the lord and pass the ammunition" comes from WWII, Pearl Harbor
specifically, supposedly said by a chaplain who was firing an anti-aircraft gun
at the attacking Japanese planes.
