Gang, I’m really trying to get my blogroll together, so please be patient with me…

There’s a lot more work to do to get me back where I need to be, so it’s going to take some time. In the meantime, I just wanted you to know that I’ve got a couple of online dates in the works and a show this Saturday night.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to upload my performance so you can get a laugh with your morning coffee.

 Until then, I’m gonna tell you a joke that my grandfather used to tell.

In a way, it’s a revenge joke and it speaks to our perceptions about stereoptypes.

Here goes:

Back in the old West when the railroads were being built there was a camp with a Chinese cook named Lee.

Lee put up with the cowboys making fun of him, pulling on his queue (the long braid) and all sorts of things that would have broken a weaker human being, but Lee just took it in stride. After a while, one of the newer guys spoke to the other cowboys and said, ‘You know, Lee is a good ‘ole boy. He really takes everything in stride and he’s never once gotten angry with us. Whattaya say we just leave him alone?’

The other cowboys agreed and the leader of the gang said, ‘Hey, Lee…you know what? We’re gonna stop messin’ with ya. And we’re awful sorry for our behavior.’

Lee never looked up from his dinner and said, ‘That’s okay. I guess I’ll stop peeing in your coffee.’

Ba dum bum.

There ya go.

A joke for the day.

As you all probably know, I hate the heat. I love the autumn and winter because the air seems cleaner and you can always put on more clothes. In the summer when it’s hotter than Hades, I’m at a loss. You can only take off but so much, so I wilt like an orchid. It’s not a pretty picture.

SO, when I have to leave my air cooled room, I take precautions to prevent overheating.

What do I do? My good pal Elaine turned me on to a cheap way to stay cool. Get the absorbent ‘filling’ from a diaper and sew it into a bandana. Soak it in some nice ice cold water and wear that bad boy around your neck. It’s loverly.

Try it…you might like it.
