              METEORS MIGHT MAKE MERRY/MEXICANS MAKE MERRY

                           Subtitle: An "Action Chain Letter" Delux

           by Citizen Journalist, presidential candidate, with Richard DePersio

 

Richard DePersio: "Here we are again. Another day, another "Action Chain Letter."

Citizen Journalist; "It's why we get the big bucks." RD: "What's a WC? Are you

old enough to remember?" CJ: "Well, a WC...Before, running for president, before

writing this article, before answering your question, we have to visit the little

room with the toilet."

 

One of the funniest jokes that we ever read; see if you agree. Steve Allen was

the first host of the "Tonight Show" followed by Jack Parr followed by Johnny

Carson followed by no one. Hugh Downs was Jack's Ed McMahon. Jack had

chosen as he would later say an "ancient" story for his opening monolog. NBC

edited it out, claiming that it was too risque'. He felt that his reputation was

on the line and demanded that it air the next night so that the "viewers

could decide." NBC refused. The next night, he explained to the audience

what had transpired and promptly walked off of his show not to return

for a couple of weeks. A stunned Hugh had to take the helm. As Robert

Metz points out in his book "The Tonight Show" (Playboy Press, 1980):

"By today's television standards, certainly, the story would be regarded as

weak tea, scatologically speaking."

       And, now, we present for your consideration, one of the funniest

jokes, we ever read. And, if you don't agree, we feel sorry for you for you

lack a sense of humor.

   An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a

   room, and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend

   any to her. He took her to several rooms, and when

   everything was settled, the lady returned to her home to

   make final preparations to move. When she arrived home,

   the thought suddenly occurred to her that she had not seen a

   WC (water closet) around the place. So she immediately

   wrote a note to the schoolmaster asking him if there was a W.C.

   around. The schoolmaster was a very poor student of English,

   so he asked the parish priest if he could help in the matter.

   Together they tried to discover the meaning of the letters W.C.,

   and the only solution they could find was Wayside Chapel.

   The schoolmaster then wrote the English lady the following

   note:

   Dear Madam:

   I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is

   situated nine miles from the house you occupy, in the center

   of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely

   grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and it is open

   on Sunday and Thursday only. As there are a great number

   of people and they are expected during the summer months,

   I would suggest that you come early, although there is

   plenty of standing room as a rule.

       You will no doubt be glad to hear that a good number of

   people bring their lunch and make a day of it, while others

   who can afford to go by car and arrive just in time. I would

   especially recommend that your ladyship go on Thursday

   when there is a musical accompaniment.

        It may interest you to know that my daughter was

   married in the W.C. and it was there that she met her

   husband. I can remember the rush there was for seats.

   There were ten people to a seat usually occupied by one.

   It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces.

        The newest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy

   resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters.

   A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all the

   people, since they feel it is a long-felt need. My wife is

   rather delicate, so she can't attend regularly.

         I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you if

   you wish, where you will be seen by all. For the children,

   there is a special time and place so that they won't

   disturb the elders. Hoping to have been of some service to

   you, I remain,

                                             Sincerely,

                                             The Schoolmaster

      We'll wait until you stop laughing...control yourself...now let's

analyze and contrast...The Parr 'disgrace' transpired, at a time, February,

 1960, prior to our being capable of being conscious of it, in spite of the

 fact, one of our Profile Page's indicates our date-of-birth - that joyous day

when bells rang throughout the land celebrating our first potty - as

February 4, 1907. We have viewed stand-up comics performing over

the past 10 years on Comedy Central with their potty mouths. If, we

were a member of their audience, we would upchuck on them as a

reaction to their jokes regarding bodily functions. So many Americans

have lost a sense a shame. Using foul language in nightclubs which

became clubs (there is a difference) began in the 1960's and their

weren't many practitioners of it. Stand-up comics uttering off-color

 and double entendre' in jokes and funny stories rarely during a

performance goes back centuries. Mild by today's standards (or lack

thereof!). Slightly dirty to moderately offensive to repulsive in movies

and televisions as you move from the '60's to the present. Comedy Central

airs its trash at all hours of the day - for the benefit of children. We

aren't prudes but what's the problem with these 'performers,' they

pretty much can only find 'humor' in dirty words, sex and bodily

functions as young women laugh their tits off - women today are

classless or is this the image of 'reality' presented of America from the

NE and West Coast, especially, New York and Los Angeles,including,

Hollywood to the world? Is it representative of the vast majority of real Americans?

yes, we often watch things on the 'boob tube' that we don't like in order

to keep abreast of everything that is transpiring in the nation.

 

My, oh, My...We have nearly run out of space and we haven't even begun

the article proper - a part two is necessitated. In so much as we are

running for president, we want to appeal to the elderly vote...

 

"What is your name?"...(Age 7) "Bond, Little Jimmy Bond."..."What is your

name?"... (Age 35) "Bond, James Bond,"...."What is your name?"...(Age 77)

"Bond, Little Jimmy Bond."

"Be seeing you," as the "Prisoner" used to say, in the funnies...
