Once in a land far, far away there lived a group of people called Trids. The Trids were happy except for the huge ogre that lived on the mountain. The ogre would periodically terrorize the Trids.

 

The Trids tired of the ogre and sought to reason with him. They thought one of their religious leaders would be a good intermediary. So a group of Trids and their minister went up the mountain and before they could even say one word the ogre kicked them down the mountain. Not being dismayed the Trids thought that maybe the ogre was Catholic, so they sent another delegation, this time led by the local priest. But alas, as they approached the ogre he once again kicked them all down the mountain.

 

The Trids were upset until they thought that perhaps the ogre was Jewish. Unfortunately, no Trids were Jewish, so they wrote to the people of another land and asked them to send a Rabbi to help them with the ogre. The Rabbi arrived and led a delegation of Trids up the mountain. The ogre saw them coming and kicked all of them, except for the Rabbi, down the mountain. The Rabbi, having been told of the previous expeditions, wondered why he alone had not been kicked down the mountain, so he asked the ogre. The ogre laughed and replied:

 

"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

A youngman named Tait sought to make his fortune building compasses.

But they were so unreliable that they gave rise to the expression...

"He who has a Tait's is lost!"

Ya'll remember the Shaw of Iran

 

Apparently if he has a son he is call The Shan

 

Now this particular Son was known to have epyleptic fits and needed a servant to watch over him

 

One day the Shaw comes home to find his son in distress and no servant around

 

Once the servant gets found and brought to the Shaws presence---the 1st question asked...Ready??

 

Where were you when the fit hit the Shan??

I was stopped by the police around 1:00 a. m. the other night and he asked me where I was going at that time of night.

 

I replied, "I am going to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body."

 

The officer then asked, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

 

I replied, "That would be my wife."

 

The bugger made me go home!
