Title: Funny Thing happened at work this week...
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Feb 24, 2006, 10:50:18 PM
This old lady in a wheelchair comes into the bookstore...SHe's pretty sickle, definitely a smoker at one time judging by her voice...and her Knuckles are blue, and as she's leaving she starts up a conversation.
Her: "What's your middle name?"
Me: "..Harding."
Her: "Oh....Are you Warren G. Harding's son?"
Me: "No. My Last name is Park."
Her: "Oh. Well when you see Warren, tell him to stop bothering me."
Me: "Okay, can do. :::Waits till she leaves the bookstore and looks to other cashier::: Who is Warren G. Harding?"

Warren G. Harding was the 29th president of the United States, and was sworn in on March 4, 1921.

Funny stuff.

Nothing funny ever happens to me at work except young supple 18 yr old chicks dressing up as superheros and strippers. You haven't lived until you've seen batgirl grinding on a ninja turtle both of their thongs sticking out...

Rama's fantasy world has one too many Ramas for my taste.

Dude, that makes your name "Lance Harding Park"?  I know there a joke there, I just need to find it.
Title: Funny Thing happened at work this week...
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Feb 27, 2006, 09:55:25 PM
.....No. There is no joke there, no quality one anyway.
What's so wrong with "Lance Harding Park"?

It could totally be a penis thing.  Hush, boy, let me think...

HARD-ing part would make you think so....but I'd look for a joke concerning someone else being named Lance Harding, Lance Park...or something along those lines.

Lance hard in the park?  Too easy?  Too low-brow?
Title: Funny Thing happened at work this week...
Post by: Rama on Mar 02, 2006, 05:58:44 AM
Yeah, but Low-brow is really the bread and butter. All the big money is in dick and fart jokes.

I think the funniest part of the story is you didn't know who Warren G. Harding was.  Come on, man, he's widely considered to have had the most corrupt administration in U.S. history (and before anyone tries, no, Bush's can't hold a candle to it).

And he nominated former president Taft to the Supreme Court.

Yeah, letting the South have their way again was pretty bad, unless it's proven the Bushies caused 9/11 to bring on the Apocalypse.

My modern U.S. history professor in college basically said there were two Presidents whose administrations are regarded as failures among historians...those of Harding and Grant.  The ironic thing was that both were allegedly honorable and honest men, but that they promoted their friends to office too much and didn't keep a close eye on them.

I mentioned to him at that point that the Carter administration should be considered for the third part of the triumvirate of suck.  He said he thought the idea had some merit.
