If You Fig­ure This One Out, Let Us Know

Tay­al tribesman bus dri­ver: Sir, do you want to get off at this stop?
Old man: Yes, I want off at this stop, I am go­ing to the den­tist’s.
Bus dri­ver: What’s wrong?
Old man: I have to have a tooth pulled. Can you be­lieve that? I’m 82 but I still have to have a tooth pulled.
Bus dri­ver: If you’re go­ing to have one pulled, you may as well have a bunch tak­en out.
Old man: That won’t do, false teeth are ex­pen­sive.
Bus dri­ver: Then have boar tusks put in.
Old man: Boar tusks?
Bus dri­ver (very earnest­ly): Yes, you can have two tusks put in on the low­er jaw, and when they grow, they’ll look great! (us­es his fin­gers to demon­strate how the tusks would look grow­ing out of his mouth)
Old man (laugh­ing): It would take a long time for them to grow.
Bus dri­ver: Not long! You’re an old boar, but I’m just a young boar, so yours would grow much faster than mine!
(old man gets off bus laugh­ing cheer­ful­ly)

Got My Own Per­son­al Trail Of Tears Over Here

Crazy old white la­dy try­ing on wed­ding veil: So I al­ways won­dered why I did­n’t look good in these things…until 2004.
Dis­in­ter­est­ed cus­tomer: Oh?
Crazy old white la­dy: Yeah, then I found out I was part Na­tive Amer­i­can. At least 5%.
Dis­in­ter­est­ed cus­tomer (con­fused): Oh…?
Crazy, old white la­dy: Yeah. That’s why I don’t look good in veils. Cause we Na­tive Amer­i­cans don’t wear them.
Dis­in­ter­est­ed cus­tomer: I got mar­ried in a cour­t­house.
Crazy old white la­dy: I hate to say it since I am part white, but damn those white peo­ple!

Good­will
