Flattop: Two men died and went to heaven at the same time. One was a Robbie Burns scholar, the other was a Canadian hoser. They were met at the gates of heaven by St. Peter. St. Peter informed them that they were rather full that evening and really only had room for one of them. To determine which one would gain access, St. Peter devised a little game, where each of the respondents had to improvise a poem encompassing the word Timbuktu..(figuring the Robbie Burns scholar was a shoe-in.) The Robbie Burns scholar stepped forward and offered: We traveled to a distant land We journied there by Caravan The sky was opalescent blue We named this place, Timbuktu. The Canadian countered: Now me and Tim A'fishin' we went When we seen three girls In a tent Now they was three And we was two I bucked one And Tim bucked two. Does that about do it for yah, or should we prepare yet another syringe? TTC --if Jonas Salk were alive today, he'd be helping us refine our vaccine--
