Tex-Mex Humor

Instructor: Welcome to salsa class.  Who’s ready to learn how to dance??
Me: hiding bag of tortilla chips  There’s been a mistake.

I have a mental illness that makes me think that people will change their minds if I present the correct arguments with the appropriate facts and data.

We were doing icebreakers at a business meeting, and asked what everyone’s favorite Beatles song was.  The boss’s answer – “Satisfaction.”
No-one corrected him.

A man walked into a medical clinic, and told the receptionist that he had a 1:30 appointment.  “Which doctor?” she asked.  “No thanks, just a regular one.” he replied.

A bus station is where a bus stops.  A train station is where a train stops.  On my desk, I have a work station.

I’m at that age where my mind thinks that I’m still 29, my humor suggests that I’m 12, and my body keeps asking if I’m sure I’m not dead yet.

An antelope and a lion entered a diner and took a booth near the window. When the waiter approached, the antelope said, “I’ll have a bowl of hay and a side order of radishes.”

“And what would your friend have?”

“Nothing,” replied the antelope.

The waiter persisted, “Isn’t he hungry?”

“Hey, if he were hungry,” said the antelope, “would I be sitting here?”

Familiar Fibbing Friday

Pensitivity101 had some familiar things last week perhaps, but how would you define these?

1. What is a belly laugh?

What should you never do in bed??
Point and snicker.

2. What is a belly flop?

The (failed) result of my latest attempt at weight loss.

3.   What is a jelly belly?

One of the main reasons that number 2 is a failure.  I can’t ignore the siren song of home-made crab-apple jelly.  At least I didn’t commit a heathen American epicure assault, and combine it with peanut butter, for a PB & J – although the son admits that he did so once by cleaning out a jar of mint jelly intended for lamb chops.

4.   What is a yellowbelly?

It’s the type of wasp or hornet that Sting was named after.

5.   What is a liger?

Kellogg’s™ decided to branch out into ‘Adult Beverages.’  Liger is their Frosted Flakes-flavoured tiger lager, sorta named after the product’s mascot, and it’s Grreeaaattt.  They tried Snap, Crackle and Pop ale first, but it was all foam.

6.   What is a hoatzin?

It’s a large pie, stuffed with four-and-twenty blackbirds, and a thumbhole in the middle.

7.   What is a kinkajou?

He’s the Israeli with strange sexual tastes, who wrote Fifty Shades Of Matzo.

8.   What is a puggle?

It’s an entire litter of crossbreed puppies that look like they’re too dumb to stop before they run into a wall.

9.   What is a chimichanga?

I really shouldn’t make fun of seniors, ‘cause I is one, but – a chimichanga is a little, old, white-haired lady, who wants to hold up the checkout line, to pay for £57 worth of groceries with coins and BOGO coupons.

10. What is a snollygoster?

It’s what is known in many pubs as a closing-time-ten – only in Dundee, where men are men, and sheep are nervous.  Scotsmen wear kilts, so they don’t hear the zippers.

FOUR ALARM

Bob had been born and raised in Titusville PA, and had worked for a Pennsylvania oil company after graduating.  Two years after a transfer to Austin, he still wasn’t sure he wanted to stay in Texas.  It was hot and dusty – but the food was great!

He’d always liked Tex-Mex food.  It came as a surprise when he’d invited his neighbor, Pecos, over for Sunday brunch.

“Never cottoned much to that beaner food.  Steak and potatoes is good enough for me.”

“Perhaps you’d better start with Huevos Rancheros, they’re mild….!!?  Easy!  You’re not putting ketchup on fries – that’s Habanera sauce!”
