A Little Humor....

Taking no credit for this, found it on a Miata post in another forum. Though you would appreciate it.

**************************************************

A drifter is walking through a wealthy neighborhood looking for odd jobs. He knocks on one door and the homeowner says "I'll give you 50 bucks to paint the porch. The paint's in the garage next to the car."
Half an hour later the guy goes back to the homeowner and says "All done."

"How can you be done already?" says the homeowner. "It should have taken you all day."

"Nah, it was easy," says the drifter. "And by the way -- that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

as old as the internet - I think Al Gore came up with that joke...

[Milu]

Gee! It's back!

[andycook]

Didn't realize it was that old.

Hilarious!!!!

I believe I read the Porch story long before the internet. Back when things were HAND written with pen and paper. When men were men and they used slide rules! When windows were something you opened up to get fresh air into the house! When Apples were eaten, not clicked on! When a mouse was something called Jerry who was constantly being chased by a cat named Tom.

Ok, I'll stop now.

Edit: I believe it was Al Gore's MOTHER who came up with the porch story...

[JeremyD]

Now this is funny! - at least I think so...

[Milu]

Did some one say a frozen porch?

andy -- be careful with that joke, it's an antique.

In that spirit:

A six-foot tall grasshopper walks into a bar one evening. Naturally, a hush falls over the packed gin mill as people stop mid sentence, mid-swallow to stare at this enormous insect. In the stunned silence, the grasshopper awkwardly ambles up to the bartender, who is standing there, jaw agape. After a second, the bartender shakes out of his amazement and says the only thing that comes to his overtaxed mind: "Wow. You know we have a drink named after you."

The grasshopper, now equally stunned and incredulous says back: "Really? You've got a drink called 'Phil?!?'"

Try the veal.

I think I first heard that joke when I was in 5th or 6th grade and that was about 30 years ago. I remember because I liked Porsches even back then.

I heard it years ago and it was a blonde woman not a drifter.

[JeremyD]

Yeah, I think it started out as a blond joke...

[dhoward]

"Two blondes walk into a building. You'd think one of them would have noticed...."

[ronin]

now that's funny!

[oldE]

First heard the "Thats not a Porsche.. thats a Ferrari." in the early 60s. Maybe on the Ed Sullivan Show. Nobody had even heard of Blonde jokes. I think its safe to say, though, the joke was not told prior to the 50s.

I know I've heard it at least as early as the seventies
