A children's story you may not have heard before...

[Darth_Pazuzu]

I once read a children's book about a young otter by the name of Yevgeny. His full name was actually Yevgeny Umberto Ivan Otter, born to Russian and Spanish parents. His two middle names were those of his two grandfathers.

When the young otter came of age and it was time for him to go out and make his way in the world, he realized that a full name of Yevgeny Umberto Ivan Otter might be too much of a mouthful for some people. So...he ultimately decided to go by his initials, and when introducing himself to others he would say, "The name is Otter...Y.U.I. Otter!" (pronounced, "Why you, I oughta...!")

eh. I honestly didn't undertand the joke until I read that last bit explaining it. I think one needs to have a certain twang in their pronounciation to get it immediately.

Two peanuts were walking down the sidewalk. One was a salted.

It's better spoken out loud in a Geordie (north-east England) accent.

Anyway, some other children's stories here...

Ouch!


(A motorway and a secondary road are sitting in the pub having a drink and a chat. A narrow dirt track comes in and the pair suddenly go dead quiet, drink up quickly, and move to leave.

The bartender is perplexed and asks them why they're taking off so quickly. The motorway casts a quick glance at the narrow track and whispers

"We're not staying here with him. His a cycle path.")

My favorite:

Two strings walk in to a bar. The first string walks up to the bar to order and the bartender throws him out, yelling "I don't serve strings in this bar!" The other string goes outside, ruffs himself up on the street, ties himself into a knot and comes back in and orders. The bartender shouts, "Hey, didn't you hear what I told your buddy?"
The string says "Yeah."
The bartender says, "aren't you a string?"
The string says, "No, I'm a frayed knot..."

I grudgingly accept this.

I don't recommend that new restaurant on the moon. The food is all right, but there's no atmosphere.
