The Best from the Annual Prairie Home Companion Joke Show
This year's was better than most of Garrison Keillor's joke shows with some biting political humor:
First person: "What were the toughest three year's of George W. Bush's life?"
Second person: "The fifth grade."
John Kerry walks into a bar, and the bartender says; "Why the long face?"
First person; "Isn't this a great country or what?"
Second person "Why?"
First person: " In America, even the President of the United States can hope to one day be elected President of the United States."
First person: "Did you hear that George Bush called John Kerry to congratulate him on winning the democratic nomination?"
Second "No, what did they talk about?"
First person: "You can bet they were not swapping war stories."
My personal favorite of the night:
First person: "They've captured Osama Bin Laden!"
Second person: "Where?"
First person: " In a place where no one remembers you're there, and they keep no records."
Second person; "Where's that?"
First person: "In the Texas Air National Guard."
