One bright morning in the middle of the night two dead boys arose to fight.
Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.
Now a deaf policeman heard the noise and came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true ask the blind man he saw it too.

From my grade school days:

I stand before you, to sit behind you
to tell you something I know nothing about.
Last night an empty truck full of bricks rolled
down our back alley that was in front and almost
killed our dead cat. I rushed to the hospital just
in time to see four men seated at the
four corners of the Round Table eating vinegar
with their forks.

My Mom remembers from HER grade school days:

The question is: What would you rather do or ride a bicycle.
The answer is: A quart of potatoes Thursday.

Seriously, you crazed Gun freaks....the second amendment is outdated.

I got news for you: England doesn't even have a king anymore.

**sames** · January 29th, 2006, 12:12 PM

Its Bush in a cake walk for that third term. Where did the term "cake walk" come from anyway?

Pretty ironic that the avatars from the preceeding & following posts have guns in them.

**TwoDogs** · January 29th, 2006, 12:24 PM

I want some pie

**CLYDE** · January 29th, 2006, 12:45 PM

is it legal to run with no fenders???

**Ooompa Loompa** · January 29th, 2006, 12:52 PM

Yes, I agree fender guitars are definately a necessity for good sound. Running without fenders (or at least one fender) should be illegal

Why do people keep making one of their letters all huge?

**sames** · January 29th, 2006, 03:20 PM

The Wobblies concentrated on organising migrant and casual workers; one of the ways in which they brought such disparate and fragmented groups together was by song. Every member got a little red book when he joined, containing parodies of popular songs or hymns (the book had a motto on the cover: ?To Fan the Flames of Discontent?). One of the early ones, predating the IWW, was Hallelujah, I?m a Bum.

One IWW member was Joe Hill, a Swedish-born seaman and hobo (one of the martyrs of the union movement: he was convicted of murder on dubious evidence and executed in 1915; you may recall a folk song about him, sung memorably by Joan Baez). He wrote several popular pro-union parodies for them, such as Coffee An?, Nearer My Job to Thee, The Rebel Girl and The Preacher and the Slave.

This last song, dating from 1911, was aimed directly at the Salvation Army, a body anxious to save the Wobblies? souls, while the Wobblies were more interested in filling their bellies. The Wobblies hated the Sally Army?s middle-class Christian view that one would get one?s reward in heaven for virtue or suffering on earth. The song was a parody of the Salvation Army hymn In the Sweet Bye and Bye:
Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
They will answer with voices so sweet:

CHORUS:
You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

By 1911, other expressions using pie had already been around for some time, such as nice as pie and easy as pie and it had begun to be used for a bribe or political patronage (of rewards being distributed like slices of pie) so pie was already in the air, so to speak.

Now I know why I like Pie.

When you're on a plane the last thing you want to yell when you see Mr. Nicholson boarding..."HI, JACK!"
