In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a “tragedy.” One little boy stands up and offers that, “If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street when a car came by and killed him, that would be a tragedy.” “No,” Clinton says, “That would be an ACCIDENT.” A girl raises her hand. “If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone inside… that would be a tragedy.” “I’m afraid not,” explains Clinton. “That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS.” The room is silent; none of the other children dare volunteer. “What?” asks Clinton, “Isn’t there anyone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?” Finally a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says: “If an airplane carrying Bill and Hillary Clinton was blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy.” “Wonderful!” Clinton beams. “Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?” “Well,” says the boy, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss!”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/no-great-loss/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/an-american-was-telling-one-of-his-favorite-jokes/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/an-american-was-telling-one-of-his-favorite-jokes/#respond Sat, 09 Dec 2023 17:45:33 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=3 An American was telling one of his favorite jokes to a group of friends. “Hell is a place where the cooks are British, the waiters are French, the policemen are Germans, and the trains are run by Italians.” The lone European in the group pondered all this for a second and responded, “I can’t say about the police and the trains, but you’re probably right about going out to eat. A restaurant in Hell would be one where the cooks are British and the waiters are French – and the customers are all Americans.”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/an-american-was-telling-one-of-his-favorite-jokes/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/the-old-native-american-wanted-a-loan/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/the-old-native-american-wanted-a-loan/#respond Fri, 08 Dec 2023 17:41:51 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=106 The old native American wanted a loan for $500. The banker pulled out the loan application, “What are you going to do with the money?” “Take jewellery to city and sell it,” was the response. “What have you got for collateral?” “Don’t know collateral.” “Well that’s something of value that would cover the cost of the loan.Have you got any vehicles?” “Yes, 1949 Chevy pickup.” The banker shook his head, “How about livestock?” “Yes, I have a horse.” “How old is it?” “Don’t know, has no teeth.” Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan. Several weeks later the old man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, “Here to pay.” he said. He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off. “What are you going to do with the rest of that money?” “Put in tepee.” “Why don’t you deposit it in my bank,” he asked. “Don’t know deposit.” “You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. When you want to use it you can withdraw it.” The old Indian leaned across the desk, “What you got for collateral?”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/the-old-native-american-wanted-a-loan/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/a-democrat-high-in-the-air/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/a-democrat-high-in-the-air/#respond Thu, 07 Dec 2023 17:37:47 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=248 A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man consulted his portable GPS and Replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level.. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.” She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.” I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?” “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I’m still lost.. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.” The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.” “I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?” “Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME to solve your problem. You’re in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s MY fault.”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/a-democrat-high-in-the-air/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/the-25-best-newspaper-headlines-of-1999/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/the-25-best-newspaper-headlines-of-1999/#respond Wed, 06 Dec 2023 17:24:20 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=136 1.

They get to the pearly gates where Pope St. Peter greets them. He motions to the priest, and they both hop in a jeep and go out the back door. There are about 50 acres of rolling hills with a little cottage on the knoll. St. Peter turns to the priest and says “This will be yours for eternity. A perfect little cottage, right next to lovely pond, a lush little garden, and a library full of books.” The priest says, “Thank you so much. This I shall enjoy!” St. Peter drops off the priest, goes back to the pearly gates and motions to the bus driver. They hop in a stretch limo and go out the front door. There are about 500 acres of land, with mountains and lakes and rivers. There is a huge 200-room castle on one of the mountains, and a wishing well that makes wishes come true. St. Peter says “This will be yours for eternity. You can live in that castle with servants to wait on you hand and foot, and you can have everything you want.” The bus driver looks and St. Peter and says “Well, now, don’t think I’m not grateful, but why am I getting so much more than the priest?” St. Peter just laughs and says “You brought more souls to Heaven! When the priest preached, everyone fell asleep. When you drove your bus, people prayed!”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/priest-bus-driver-died-heaven/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/where-is-your-homework/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/where-is-your-homework/#respond Mon, 04 Dec 2023 17:03:29 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=156 Teacher: Where is your homework?

Just before the conductor came through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called “Tickets, please!” and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were tremendously impressed by the Scots’ ingenuity. On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the Englishmen’s stall and called “Ticket, Please!” When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door.]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/ticket-please/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/dangling-participles/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/dangling-participles/#respond Sat, 02 Dec 2023 16:51:20 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=214 Culled from newspapers: – The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5′ 10″, with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds. – The family lawyer will read the will tomorrow at the residence of Mr. Hannon, who died June 19 to accommodate his relatives. – Mrs. Shirley Baxter, who went deer hunting with her husband, is very proud that she was able to shoot a fine buck as well as her husband. – Organ donations from the living reached a record high last year, outnumbering donors who are dead for the first time. – The dog was hungry and made the mistake of nipping a 2-year-old that was trying to force feed it in his ear. – We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch watching the cows playing Scrabble and reading. – Hunting can also be dangerous, as in the case of pygmies hunting elephants armed only with spears.]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/dangling-participles/feed/ 0 https://jokes.cosmobc.com/driving-license/ https://jokes.cosmobc.com/driving-license/#respond Fri, 01 Dec 2023 16:49:09 +0000 http://jokes.cosmobc.com/?p=607 Junior had just received his brand new drivers license. To celebrate, the whole family trooped out to the driveway and climbed into the car for his inaugural drive. Dad immediately headed to the back seat, directly behind the newly minted driver. “I’ll bet you’re back there to get a change of scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive,” said the beaming boy to his old man. “Nope,” came dad’s reply, “I’m gonna sit back here and kick the back of your seat while you drive, just like you have been doing to me for sixteen years.”]]> https://jokes.cosmobc.com/driving-license/feed/ 0
