John Crosbie's Jokes
John Crosbie is the lieutenant-governor of the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador. The frail old man read a list of jokes that his friend had reportedly sent him, explaining how bad things are down in the states. The last joke apparently got the PC police all up in arms. I've personally transcribed his monologue, as I personally think his jokes are pretty funny. His monologue starts at 4:15 in the link below:
As you know we're in some trying financial and economic times now and uh this is a friend in the states sent me some of the things the're saying ... about the trouble down in the states.
Exxon-Mobil apparently laid off 25 congressmen.
He said his neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
If the bank returns your check marked insufficient funds, you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
When Bill and Hillary Clinton are traveling together now they have to share a single room.
A truckload of Americans were caught sneaking into Mexico.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy...wars, jobs, my savings, social security, retirement funds, etc., I called the suicide hotline. And got a call center in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
