My mom, of all people, told me the following joke:
Mexico will not field a Summer Olympic team because everyone that can run, jump, or swim has already left the country.

I just sent you link to some of my pictures. I made them really quick. Maybe I'll hotlink them on my homepage so others can see 'em.
Others with a good sense of humor might get a laugh out them.
