Knew a guy who taught special forces. Said porcupine was the worst thing he ever ate. You had to boil it for hours.

The government will probably take it away from the critter that found it.

Said porcupine was the worst thing he ever ate.

On the other hand; According to books on the Lewis and Clark expedition, the best thing they ate was ........ Beaver Tail.

Gets lonely on the road, I guess.

Did the porcupine get its three wishes?

That’s a good question.

A guy in California unearthed an oil lamp and the genie gave him just one wish.

He said he always wanted to go to Hawaii but was afraid to fly, and asked if the genie could build a highway all the way to Hawaii. The genie laughed and said do you realize how much concrete that would take? Pick something simpler.

So the guy said, “Well, I’ve been divorced three times and each of my ex wives said I didn’t understand them. I would like to understand women.”

The genie said, “Would you like two lanes or four lanes on that highway?”
