TTCM (retired) BS: compassion or honesty (193* d) RE: BS: compassion or honesty 01 Apr 00


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?
