23rd's Joke |
Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor
peered over the fence.
Interested in what the youngster was up to, he asked in his
friendly way, "What are you up to, Nancy?"
"My goldfish died," replied Nancy tearfully, without
looking up, "and I've just buried him."
The neighbor commented, " That's an awfully big hole for
a goldfish, isn't it?" Nancy patted down the last heap
of earth and then replied, "That's because he's inside
your cat." |

A man walks into a bar with a tortoise on his head.
He asks for some cheese.
The bartender says "but this is a bar",
so the man says "that's OK, the tortoise is paying".

| Saint
George and the Dragon |
 They
(the knights of the Round Table) had as their patron saint
St. George, because he was the only one of all the saints
who was a horseman. He is the Patron Saint of cavalry from
