The Iranian ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and walked
out into the lobby where he met the United States ambassador, John Bolton.
They exchanged pleasantries and as they walked the Iranian said, “You know I have
just one question about what I have seen in America.”
Ambassador Bolton said, “Well anything I can do to help you, I will.”
The Iranian whispered, “My son watches this show ‘Star Trek’ and in it there is
Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese,
but no Iranians. My son is very upset and doesn’t understand why there aren’t any
Arabs or Muslims on Star Trek.”
Bolton laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador and whispered back,
“It’s because it takes place in the future.”
There was a blonde who was sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane.
The lawyer was naturally bored, so he kept bugging the blonde to play a
game of intelligence with him.
The blonde was reluctant, so the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds.
He told her that every time she could not answer his question, she owed him $5,
but every time he could not answer hers, he’d give her $50.
The lawyer figured the blonde was so dumb, he could not lose, and the blonde thought
for a few minutes and reluctantly accepted to play his game.
The lawyer fires his first question “What is the distance between the Earth and the
nearest star?” Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5.
The blonde then asked the lawyer “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back
down the hill with 4 legs?”
The lawyer’s face looked extremely puzzled. He spent several hours,
looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous
air-to-ground phone calls trying to figure out the answer.
Finally, the angry and frustrated lawyer handed the blonde $50.00.
The blonde put the $50 into her purse quickly without saying a word.
The lawyer was outraged at this point and asked, “Well, what is answer?”
The blonde glanced at him with a smirk on her face and handed him a $5 bill.
