Educating the Natives
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006A missionary who had spent years showing a tribe of natives how to farm and build things to be self sufficient gets word that he is to return home. He thinks that the one thing he never did was to teach these natives how to speak English, so he takes the chief and starts walking in the forest.
He points to a tree and tells the chief, “this is a tree.”
The chief looks at the tree and grunts, “tree.”
The missionary is pleased with the response. They walk a little farther and the padre points to a rock and says, “this is a rock.”
At which the chief looks and grunts, “rock.”
The padre is really getting enthusiastic about the results when he hears a rustling in the bushes. As he peaks over the top he sees a couple in the midst of heavy romantic activity. The padre is really flustered and quickly
responds, “riding a bicycle.”
The chief looks at the couple briefly, pulls out his blow gun and kills them.
The padre goes ballistic and yells at the chief that he has spent years teaching the tribe how to be civilized and kind to each other, so… how could he kill these people??
The chief calmly replied, “Him riding MY bicycle.”

SI SEÑOR
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005An American touring Spain stopped at a local restaurant following a day of sightseeing. While sipping his sangria, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious-looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, “What is that you just served?” The waiter replied, “Ah señor, you have excellent taste! Those are bull’s testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!” The American, though momentarily daunted, said, “What the hell, I’m on vacation! Bring me an order!” The waiter replied, “I am so sorry señor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bullfight each morning. If you come early tomorrow and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy!”
The next morning, the American returned, placed his order, and then that evening he was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of his platter, he called to the waiter and said, “These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday!” The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Si señor. Sometimes the bull wins.”

Swimming not allowed!’
‘You could have told me that before I took off my clothes!’, the American woman scolded him.
The gardener replied, ‘Madam, only swimming not allowed, taking off clothes allowed!
