Here's the sequel to Executioner's Story... hope you all enjoy the joke!

Three men were standing all lined up
a plan to escape the first one came up
when the executioner yelled, "Ready, AIM!"
the first man came up with something lame
he began to shiver and shake
and yelled loudly, "EARTHQUAKE!"
the men with the guns look at the ground
but when they looked up he was nowhere to be found
the excecutioner shrugged and yelled, "Get ready to blast!"
but the second man came up with something at last
that prisoner did something out of the norm
then pointed up and yelled, "THUNDERSTORM!"
the men with the guns looked up the the sky
hoping not to get struck by lightning and fry
but when they returned their sight to the wall
only one of them was left out of them all
the third finally came up with a plan
and when everyone aimed at the man
he wiggled and squirmed and yelled something dire
the word that came out of his mouth was "FIRE!"

Haha i liked this one. I've heard a similar joke, but i liked this anyhow.
Very well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

well this joke does sound familiar.. but a nice twist to it and a good rhyme scheme
hehe nice

let the fighting words lie
let the candle light die
let the sun come up
let the same imply

Again, thanks for all the support. And yeah, I know the joke sounds familiar. All of'em should. I just kinda fixed'em around and made'em into poems so I can slap somethin' up here. Until I can get somethin' else good to rip off, though, it's back to depressing stuff for me. ;-) And I'm lookin' forward to seein' you for three hours, Jobeth, dear... *coughs* Ah.. just what exactly was everyone giggling about every time they looked at me? Do I look THAT funny?

YEAH!

I love this joke!  Hahaha...
You poeticized it BRILLIANTLY!
It's great to have someone with your ability around here!  It's not easy to put something like this to words...
The joke is funnier when it has a poem, I'm putting this where it belongs-- my library.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Whoa, Allan, I'm honored. I really am. And I can't seem to thank everyone enough for all the kind words. I suppose I finally found something I'm actually half-way decent at. I'll keep on writin', then! I'll keep seein' y'all around!
