One hot day last summer My good buddy Toe Went up north, Alaska way To be an eskimo. He asked the local honcho Just what he had to do. The chief said, "You must pass 3 tests. That's all we ask of you." "You must drive a husky dogsled One hundred miles and back. Then kill a ferocious grizzly Before he can attack." "Then, lastly, Toe, you must make love To an Eskimo squaw. Do these three things, you're one of us. That is the Eskimo law." Toe said, "No problem", grabbed the sled, Hopped on and he was gone. Next day he came back again and Smiling, said "That's one". He then ran up into the woods As fast as he could go. They all admired his strong desire To be an eskimo. The day passed, two, then three, then four Still he did not arrive At last he came back, drenched in blood, And hardly still alive. He finally said, "OK. That's two. Boy! That was quite a thrill! Now, where the hell's that Eskimo squaw That I'm supposed to kill?" |

I honestly love this guy.....I guess I should say I hate him! And I try so hard to hate this old fart.....and I'm usually quite adept at doing what I put my mind to. Oh well? I'm gonna hate him someday.....really, I will sooner or later....He does try so hard to motivate me..... [This message has been edited by Toerag (edited 11-12-1999).] |

I've been sitting here for ten minutes trying to figure out what to say and confidentially...I'm still laughing. Good one! I could use a chuckle. ------------------ Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time. |

Sir Balladeer: Well done on the rework of a great joke. Didn't know anybody else knew that one. Oh... and I'm sure that Toe "drove" the dogs too... wink... wink... know what I mean... know what I mean.  |

I knew this was going to be good before I read it ( it had your name on the front of it ). I wasn't Disappointed!!! Funniest thing I've read for a very long time. Well done. ------------------ Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

There's nuthin the least thing funny about this poem....The author is so full of "something" that he can't run! (Besides, I never did find that Eskimo squaw!)Anyone wanna rub noses? [This message has been edited by Toerag (edited 11-13-1999).] |

Balladeer, I can count on you to give me a sad tear or a good belly laugh. Guess we need a good share of both, Huh? Toe, you just keep on being yourself and I know I'll get a good belly laugh. ------------------ I look forward to tomorrow, while looking back on the past. But today is the day I am living. And I expect it to be a great day! |
