"That reminds me of a joke..."

Last edited Tue Nov 4, 2025, 12:42 PM - Edit history (1)

Guy walks up to a Newspaper stand every day and buys a Newspaper. Picks it up and scans the front page and then puts it back.

After many many months of doing this, the vendor asks the guy what he‘s doing.

Guy: “I’m looking for an obit.’’

Vendor: “Obits are inside the Newspaper.‘‘

Guy: “When the Son of a Bitch I‘m looking for dies, his obit will be on the front page.”

This was definitely for the old timers. “That reminds me of a joke,” was my first thought when I heard the news.

I get the feeling we'll be seeing this joke circulate widely in the coming months and years as many of the first wave of criminals who created our current mess die off.

8. Also funny: the time Cheney shot Harry Whittington in the face with a shotgun. Whittington then suffered a heart attack

and collapsed lung. It was a hunting accident, but it was also funny. It was funny because Whittington, the victim, publicly apologized to Cheney!

I guess for getting shot. Go figure...

Rumsfeld said to Chaney shut the fuck up, because he doesn’t want shrub to ask how many that is.
