IF IT IS NOT FUNNY AFTER THAT, THE MANAGEMENT WILL DISAVOW ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ITS POSTING) It seems there were these three boys that were the pride of their little Texas town. All three of them were admitted to Texas A & M. After a short 9 years they gradutated. Upon their return to their home town during December break, they went to talk to the town priest. "Mah boys," said the priest, "all of us ah proud a you." (my best shot at replicating a Texas "accent") "As ah mattah of a fact, we would like y'all to appear in ar annual Christmas pagent. We would like y'all to be the three wise men. Now go and research all you can find out about the three wise men, and come in appropriate costume to ah dress rehersal next Tuesday." Well, Tuesday arrived and all three boys showed up wearing yellow rain coats, big black boots and fireman's hats. "What ah you doing showing up like that?" said the priest. "Well," said one of the good ole' boys, "you told us to research the three wise men and come in costume. All the books we saw, said the three wise men came from ah far." OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
