May 24th, 2008 by Mike

“It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.” –William G. McAdoo

A man was driving on a one lane bridge when he met another one driving in the opposite direction. The second man said, “I never back up for and idiot.1

“I always do,” said the first. He promptly threw the gears into reverse and backed off the bridge.

Juan and Ahmal
Mar 26th, 2008 by Mike

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.”   The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.”   Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal.  Her husband responds, “They’re twins!  If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.”
