An Indian boy was sitting with his tribal chief on a nice sunny day. Various
things were discussed and the chief guided the young boy through his
questions, mainly questions of Indian tradition.

The boy asked the chief: "So how is it that we get your names?"

The chief responded: "When an infant is born tradition says that the
tribal chief walks of his tent and the first thing he sees is what the child
is named.

So you see White Cloud over there? I left the tent only to see a large
white cloud in the sky.

Look at Running Deer over there. I left the tent only to see a young buck
running through the field.

This is our tradition, a tradition passed on for centuries.

So why do you ask Two Dogs Fornicating*?

How about this? Probably already made the rounds by now but here it goes:

Cardinal Ratzinger was not the Cardinals' first choice. That was,
interestingly, Cardinal Hans Grapje. Grapje was raised in a Catholic
school in The Hague and, as a young man, aspired to become a priest.
However, he was drafted into the Army during WWII and spent two years
co-piloting bombers until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he
lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a
chaplain, giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy.

After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa,
piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across
the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an
explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in. Archbishop Grapje went
down into the mine to administer last rights to those too severely
injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three
days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right
eye. The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purpura, a
life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches.

Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a
scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders felt that he should
never ascend to the Papacy. They felt that the Church would never
accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader

Actually the guy wanted to be an usher at the Vatican, but they didn't
want a one-eyed, one-armed, flying Papal people seater......

Funny, but the version I heard had him applying as a cook in the Vatican
kitchen, but they didn't want a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal
potato peeler....

I am offended by all of this ethnic humor. Why must you make fun of someone
else in your humor, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Amen, I have had it with those German jokes, and don't get me started on the
Italian Jokes.

I haven't seen that in years - Mike has updated a lot of it although a
lot of the original art work is present. He's added a few too I see.

Thanks for the memories Chuck.

Later,

Tom

Anyone who would tell an Italian joke is a low life no good do nothing.

I do have some good used car salesman jokes if you want to hear them.
