Subject: Funny answer to 12 days of Christmas
Date: 22 Dec 92 20:24:40 GMT

Last year I got the first three verses of
this off the net, someone was asking if 
anyone knew the rest.  I didnUt but I took it, 
changed the first three verses somewhat and then 
finished it.  I hope you all enjoy it.


On the first day after Christmas,
My true love and I had a fight
So I chopped the pear tree down
And shot the partridge just for spite.

On the second day after Christmas,
I put on a pair of old gloves,
And gently wrung the necks
Of both those stupid turtle doves.

On the third day after Christmas,
My dear old mother got the croup.
So I took those 3 French hens,
And made her some chicken soup.

The 4 calling birds were a mistake,
Their language was terribly obscene;
Of course the 5 golden rings were fake:
They turned my fingers Greeeeeeen.

On the sixth day after Christmas,
Extremely cold weather came around
So I killed those 6 noisy geese
and made a jacket filled with down.

On the seventh day after Christmas,
I shot those 7 swans a swimming
I had to do it donUt you see
they was chasing all the women.

On the eighth day after Christmas,
I had milk up to my eyes
and if that wasnUt bad enough
I had cow shit up to my thighs.

On the ninth day after Christmas,
I took a hammer to those pipes
youUd have thought I killed the Pope
if you heard those pipers gripe.

On the tenth day after Christmas,
IUd learned every dance there is to know
so without a single guilty thought
I threw those dancing ladies out in the snow.

But there is one thing I will admit
about those 11 Lords a leaping
and 12 drummers drumming
IUm not crazy, those IUm keeping!

This from the "I know you are but what am I" school of humor, no
doubt.  C'mon, isn't it just the slightest bit obvious that the
person who wrote this took "Clinton Statue Comittee", replaced
"Clinton" with "Bush", "Jesse Jackson" with "Richard Nixon",
and "Democrat" with "Republican"?

The sorry thing about it is that the "author" forgot to replace
"Roosevelt" with "Eisenhower".

I hope that this is not a sign that we as a nation are getting so
politically numb that we can even tell the difference between
Republicans and Democrats anymore. :-(

First of all, I would like to thank Dimitri for his two things.
First, some of the jokes that he posts are very funny.
Second, he presents a intersting challenge to the reader to figure out
where his jokes originally come from. That is, before he substituted
"Soviet emigre" characters for the original characters. Sort of, like
substituting X in a math problem for the actual value of X and asking the
reader to figure out the value of X. I have no idea why he does that but,
guessing from the fact that he 
crossposts both to rec.humor and soc.culture.soviet, my guess is that he
wants his fellow Soviet emigrants to enjoy American jokes and thinks that
his fellow Russian emigres can only understand jokes that mention them "by
name".  

In any case, I have a slight problem "solving" the above joke. I know that
it comes from a story about a band of Meixcans that steals a treasure from
some American bandits. The Americans catch the Mexicans and kill all of
them but their leader. Then they torture the leader and tell him that they
would kill him if he did not tell them where the loot was. The Mexican
tells the translator where it is, and the translator says ``He's saying
you're bluffing.''

But was it from a movie or a TV show? Which one?

Thanks in advance!
