Did You Hear About The Escaped Gorilla?

Archie Brown's friend of mine told me he read this story in the Houston Chronicle on Sunday the 15th. If it was in the Chronicle, we can believe it!

A gorilla escaped from the zoo at in Washington D.C. The search took several hours, but the ape was in the Library of Congress. On one side he had an open Bible on the other side he had opened a copy of Darwin's Origin of the Species.

When they asked the gorilla what he was doing, his reply was, "I am trying to determine if I am my brother's keeper, or my keeper's brother!"

Did You Hear About The Joke My Mother In Law Told Me?

Archie Brown actually heard this joke from his mother in law!

A guy was on his morning jog when he saw the hearse moving slowly through the park. Behind it was a fairly young couple. The lady was quietly crying and leaning on the man, who had a small dog on a leash. They were followed by the longest funeral procession the jogger had ever seen.

His curiosity forced him to jog over to the young man with the dog and said, "I am sorry to be disrespectful, but I have never seen such a long funeral procession, who is it in the hearse, someone famous?" The young man glanced at his grieving wife and then back to the jogger and replied,
"It is my mother-in-law, and she was not famous."

The perplexed jogger then asked, "what happened, did something tragic cause her death?" The man shook his head as he pointed down to the dog and said, "My dog bit her and she died." The jogger raised his eybrows, caught his breath for a moment, then asked, "Man, can I borrow your dog?"

The man sighed and said, "Get in line!"

Do you have any good mother-in-law jokes? If you will share them, I won't tell her you told me!
