He went off on his travel writing itinerary, right across to the east coast and back, telling others of Big Chief Forget-me Not"s great memory. (One local noted to him that "How" was a more appropriate greeting for an Indian chief than "ello mate.") On his return to the Vancouver Hilton six months later was surprised to see "Big Chief Forget-me Not" still sitting in the lobby, fully occupied with whittling away on a stick.
"How?" said the Aussie to the Chief, who again did not stop to look up.
"Scrambled." said the Chief.
The Blind Pilots.
One day at a busy airport, the pa.s.sengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the c.o.c.kpit crew to show up so they can get under way.
The pilot and co-pilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the c.o.c.kpit through the center aisle.
Both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, b.u.mping into pa.s.sengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the co-pilot is using a guide dog.
Both have their eyes covered with huge sungla.s.ses.
At first the pa.s.sengers do not react; thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke.
However, after a few minutes the engines start spooling up and the airplane starts moving down the runway.
The pa.s.sengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for rea.s.surance.
Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin panicking.
Some pa.s.sengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.
Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne.
Up in the c.o.c.kpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the Captain: "You know, one of these days the they"re going to scream too late, and we"re gonna get killed!"

Catholic Maths.
Little Tommy (who is Jewish) was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything : tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they could think of. Finally, in a last-ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn"t even kiss his mother h.e.l.lo. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he was done he marched back to his room without a word and in no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns??" Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, no. "Well, then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT was it?" Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren"t fooling around."

The Three b.u.t.tons.
Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When George sits down, he notices three b.u.t.tons on the side of Saddam"s chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the First b.u.t.ton. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face.
Confused, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the second b.u.t.ton is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again Bush carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third b.u.t.ton is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush in the privates, he"s finally had enough, knowing that he can"t do much without them functioning well. "I"m going back home!" he tells the Iraqi. "We"ll finish these talks in two weeks!"
A fortnight pa.s.ses and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three b.u.t.tons on Bush"s chair and prepares himself for the Yank"s revenge. They begin talking and Bush presses the first b.u.t.ton. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second b.u.t.ton. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third b.u.t.ton is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing happens. Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics.
"Forget this," says Saddam. "I"m going back to Baghdad!"
Dubya says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
