#3 Then there's that Country & Western singer who moved to Central America to paint surreal art. You know, El Salvador Dali Parton.

She was only the refrigerator repairman's daughter but Kelvinator.

#6 Now that the same Country & Western singer is out of rehab for being hooked on painkillers, they're going to make a movie about it. It's called, "Dolly of the Valiums".

They're going to make a television show about an Alaskan sled dog and a potato. It's called "Husky and Starch".

The same program directors are also considering a combination of "Roots" and "Shogun". The working title is "Sho'nuff".

Did you hear about the kid who brought a vacuum cleaner to the dairy farm? It was udder madness.

Anyone heard of the new "Los Angeles Rules" for five card stud? Four clubs beat a King.

#10 A professor engaged in studying the longevity of carp fish was leaning over the open aquarium tank when his wallet accidentally dropped into the water. Much to his astonishment, the fish began bouncing it back and forth between them.

If was the first case of carp-to-carp walleting.

#11 Milt Famie, a beer addict, was pitching for the home team. The score was tied, they already had gotten two batters out and it was bottom of the ninth. The bases were loaded with the opposition's cleanup batter up at the plate. Unable to bear the tension, Milt ran to the dugout and quaffed down a brew. Returning to the mound, he promptly threw a low and outside pitch for ball one.

Unnerved, he returned to the dugout and chugged another beer. Back on the mound, his next pitch was high and inside. The umpire called ball two.

Scampering over to the dug out, he slammed yet another brew and returned only to lob in a low slider for ball three.

Unable to stop trembling Milt Famie dashed to the dugout, gulped down another bottle and dropping it near the baseline as he took the mound a final time.

His last pitch was no good, a fourth ball. This walked in the runner on third, pushed up the score and the game was lost for good.

A relief pitcher struck out the next player and as the batter retired from home plate he wandered over to the first base line, picked up the errant beer bottle and said:

"This is the beer that made Milt Famie walk us."

#15 After scrimping and saving for their entire lives, an elderly Navajo couple managed to send their son to university so he could study electrical engineering. After he graduated, he returned home to the Indian community so he could thank his mother and father for all of the sacrifices they had made on his behalf.

Surveying his parents' humble abode, he decided it was high time to do away with kerosene lamps and finally have electric lighting in the bathroom. He even went one better and installed a wall socket near the sink for good measure.

He eventually became famous as the first man ever to wire a head for a reservation.
