Thread: Quip Of The Day

A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a whisky. When the bartender delivers the drink, the cowboy asks, "Where is everybody?"
The bartender replies, "They've gone to the hanging."
"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"
"Brown Paper Pete," the bartender replied.
"What kind of a name is that?" the cowboy asked.
"Well," says the bartender. "He wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper boots."
"Wow, that's weird," said the cowboy. "What are they hanging him for?"
"Rustling," said the bartender.

Good one, it even works in Dutch! And that is a rare thing. Only we don't hang people anymore.

Hi Laurens - I love the Netherlands, I went and visited my great Uncle at the Holten Cemetery when I was there in 1989. He died in the liberation of Holland I believe after his landing on Juno Beach on D-Day...from what I've been told he died in a street action sometime in May.

I remember getting my hair cut in Vondel Park in Amsterdam by a guy who was set up in the park. Couple months later, went through Check Point Charlie and took a tour of the Iron Curtain...sheesh I'm getting old...

I heard this one first hand, more than a few times;

"Yes officer, I know it's illegal, but these pants I'm wearing are not mine."

San Diego Shore Patrol days duties I collected a nice switchblade accumulation from under the Church Pew in the tank.

""But Chief, I don't know how that got there!?!?!?"
""What Bottle??""
""Where's my pants?????"
""What stain???""
""Your not my Buddy??""
""I know I had a liberty card...somewhere!?!?""
""Wheres my wallet..you guys stole it!!!!!!""

Maybe not a quip, so forgive;

Actually stop of mine, he tried the Jedi Mind Trick on me,

Local theif, knew him for years, early morning hours he would steal outside plants fron one business, walk three blocks & sell the plant to another business as they were opening, constant fighting between business owners:

He walking down Lincoln Road mall with a 14 inch potted Seifrizii palm on his shoulder;
Where did you get that &*%$ plant at?
What plant?
The one on your shoulder.
There's no plant on my shoulder, You don't see a plant on my shoulder.
(Attitude correction, plant falls to ground.)
Oh,,,you mean this plant,,,,

Yes, that is known as the SODDI defense. “Some other Dude did it.”
