Say, Jason, Can You Guess Where I Was Last Night?
Let's see. Your house? Main Street Grill? Lower 45th Street? Your sister's house? Dallas? San Louis Obispo? Iceland? Tokyo? Mike's Hotdog Stand? Hollywood and Vine? The backseat of a 1968 Dodge Dart? A baby's stomach? Gabon? New York? Florida? Scottsdale? San Francisco? The Agean? Greenland? The steppes? Moscow Jim's? Ralph's Chadwick Square Diner? The Ford Motor Company offices in Michigan? Utah? Canada? The Dead Sea? Iraq? Kuwait? Egypt? Gaza? Under any large body of water? India? Between the thighs of a dark-skinned beauty? Mars? The first class lounge of a transatlantic 747? Behind a gun? Manhattan, Kansas? Sonora? Bahia de Kino? Costa Rica? Angel Falls? The Danube? The Italian Alps? The plains of eastern Siberia? The Yellow River? North Korea? The United Nations supply depot in Lima? Anywhere near the Azores? The lesser Antilles? The greater Antilles? The South China Sea? The inside of a telephone building? Under a sweaty cheerleader? Odessa? Idaho? The western foothills of the rockies? Quebec? The reason I ask I was wondering if I could borrow your alarm clock. Mine is on the fritz, and I have a very important meeting first thing tomorrow morning. The Travelling Cryptographers
There were these three travelling cryptographers: one Jew, one Catholic, and one American. They are on vacation driving across Africa when their car starts to make a funny noise. They arrive at the farmhouse, a large two story brick and wood affair with a huge barn and a small wooden shed. The catholic cryptographer knocks on the door, which is made of blonde ashwood and is painted a deep blue. The farmer, a white haired man in his sixties, answers the door. "Can I help y'all out?"
"Nimflip gosdrup," says the jewish cryptographer, which is code for 'Our car broke down and we need a place to stay for the night.'
The three cyrptographers bed down for the night in the hayloft, bid one another goodnight, and fall promptly to sleep. At two in the morning, they are awaken by the farmer's daughter, who has snuck out of her house barefoot and climbed up the ladder to the hayloft. The jewish cryptographer says "Omnlib pontifex!" which is code for 'Get our of here! Your father will kill us!' What does it all mean?!? I'm still not sure, but here's my archives.
