Добрый день, уважаемые подписчики. Специально для тех,
кто недавно подписался на нашу рассылку сообщаю, что в четверг-пятницу
мы
делаем выпуск, посвящённый исключительно юмору (анекдоты, шутки и т.д.)
на
английском языке. Не спешите отписываться! По понедельникам выходит
настоящий
выпуск, посвящённый каким-нибудь проблемам, трудностям и интересностям
английского
языка. Так что даже если трудно понимать юмор (всё-таки надеюсь, что вы
разберётесь),
ждите понедельника. А сегодня отдыхаем.
Сегодняшний выпуск я решил посвятить политическому
юмору и шуткам на политическую тему. Поехали!
Little old lady at US immigration. OFFICIAL: Do
you advocate the overthrow of the government by violence or subversion?
{Pause
for thought} LITTLE OLD LADY: Violence, I think.

My four year old and I were discussing holidays,
and I asked him, "What is the day which comes after Halloween when
you
have turkey?" My husband quickly answered, "Election
day."

The two U.S. cities with the highest alcohol consumption
are Las Vegas and Washington, DC. The difference between the two is that
in
Washington the drunks are gambling with "our" money!

Capitol Hill Definitions and Advice
1. People in Political Parties know which side
of an issue they are on before they know which side is right.
2. The only prayer that should be allowed in schools
is, "Lord, please send me a good teacher." 3. If you are
concerned
about the number of Homosexual couples around, tell Heterosexual couples
to
stop producing them.

This is supposed to have happened in the election
before last: a Conservative candidate was doing a door-to-door canvass
to
get votes since the date for the general election had been announced and
it
was campaign time. At one house, he noticed that the man who answered
the
door was wearing a very smart suit. "Are you a businessman,
sir?"
asked the politician. "Yes" replied the man. "Well, under
a
Conservative government, your business will prosper" declared the
politician,
"what line of business are you in?" "I'm an
undertaker"
replied the man.

Clinton is returning to Washington after a trip,
and as he walks down the steps of Air Force One, he is leading a small
dog
on a leash. The Marine at the bottom of the steps snaps a smart salute.
Marine:
"Welcome back home, Mr. President." Clinton: "Thank you.
It's
good to be back." Marine: "Nice dog, sir." Clinton:
"Thanks.
I got it for Hillary." Marine: "Good trade, sir."

If PRO is the opposite of CON, what is the opposite
of PROGRESS?
CONGRESS! (A fine linguistically joke!)

Speaker's Corner is a traditional sounding off
post for 'characters.' The long-term commie speaker was saying:
"Look
at all the posh cars over there. My friends, when the day of liberation
comes,
every one of you can have a big car like that." A voice from the
back:
"Not me. I like my little VW." The speaker gets angry:
"My
friend, when the day of liberation comes, you will do as you are bloody
well
told!"

Шутка на злобу для, специально про перепись: The
CENSUS TAKER knocked on the door of a backwoods shack. An old timer came
out,
asking what he wanted. "The President has sent us across the
country
to find out how many people live in the United States," the man
replied.
"I'm sorry you came all the way out here to ask me," said the
hillbilly,
"cause I ain't got the faintest idea."

Последние три шутки на закуску: While visiting
Iowa State University this week, Dan Quayle observed that the reason for
low
voter turnout is the difficulty in getting to the poles. Said the Vice
President:
"Even in this modern age of rapid transit, it can take several days
to
get to either pole - North or South."
"We understand the attorneys are having a
lot of trouble finding jurors for the Oliver North trial.. They have to
locate
12 people that have never heard of the Iran-Contra scandal. So far,
they've
only been able to come up with the President."
Felix: I don't think George is going to make it as a politician.
Oscar: Why not?
Felix: Well, take that speech he gave yesterday...when
he asked if they could hear him in the back and the answer was
"no,"
everyone in front moved to the back!
