Nasrudin was talking to a cobbler who told him the following riddle: “There is a person who is my father’s son, but he is not my brother. Who is he?” After a while, Nasrudin said, “I don’t know. Who?” “Me,” the cobbler replied. Greatly amused, Nasrudin went to a group of people the next day…

How to spell cinnamon
Sometimes I shop for groceries at a small ethnic grocery store one block from my home. One time I came across a container of cinnamon–only the label spelled it “cimonin.” I would love to hear the story behind that one. I guess the owner of that company was working on the label, and he thought,…
The only people who should be eating Cinnabons as snacks
There’s this place at the mall. It’s called Cinnabon. They sell this thing. It’s a called a Cinnabon. It’s marketed as a snack. And it contains 36 grams of fat, 59 grams of sugar, and 879 calories. Interesting. You know who should be eating snacks like that? One group, and one group only. PPBs. Professional…
We don’t need that many football stats
Sometimes you’re watching a football game, and the announcer just goes ahead and gives you the most meaningless stat imaginable. The stat has no significance whatsoever, and you’re not really even sure what the stat is. A pass is completed–and after the play, the announcer says, “This is the eighth time in three years that…
What is and isn’t a salad
People really misuse the word salad. Fruit salad, tuna salad, bean salad, potato salad. You got a plate filled with 800 calories of mayonnaise–and you think that qualifies as a salad?! Apparently, anything can be a salad, as long as someone eats it with a fork or a spoon. “Waiter. Let me get a glazed…
Coupon Laws
One time I saw a coupon for sunblock. And on the coupon, it said, “Limit of one coupon per purchase. Limit of 8 identical coupons per household per day. Any other use constitutes fraud.” Very interesting. According to coupon law, if you have nine of that coupon, you can’t use all of them. You have…

Brian Regan – Cranberry Juice
I don’t know what in the hell’s going on with cranberries, but they’re getting in all the other juices. Whoever the salesman is for cranberries is doing a great job. He’s showing up everywhere. “Hey, what do you got, some apples? Put some cranberries in there. We’ll call it cran-apple and go 50-50. What do…
Larry the Cable Guy – Do Not Eat
Bought a pair of boots the other day, and they was some silicone gel in there. Big red letters said, “Do not eat.” Do they really need that stuff in them boots? Is there really some dude opening a pair of boots goin’, “Boy, look at them boots. What the hell? I better eat that….
Mulla Nasrudin – Bravo
Nasrudin went hunting with the village mayor. They found a turkey, and the mayor shot and missed it. “Bravo!” Nasrudin shouted. The mayor angrily turned to him and said, “How dare you make fun of me!” “I wasn’t making fun of you,” Nasrudin replied. “I was saying bravo to the turkey!”
Ellen DeGeneres – Elevators
We always do this in an elevator. You walk up to an elevator. Someone’s already there. They’re waiting. They’ve pushed the button. The button is lit. We walk up. ‘Obviously, you didn’t push it correctly. I’ll have to push it myself. Now the elevator will come.’ Then someone else walks up, and they push the…
