And . . .

You know, even the most miserable people have a sense of humor. It's the humorless who suffer most, or make others suffer most.

Really.

Even the homeless have a sense of humor. (And this is MY joke).

So there are these two homeless guys, both freezing under some freeway overpass. And one guy says to the other, "Hey Charlie, whaddya got to eat?" And Charlie says "Well, nothing, but I think I'm going to go hunt down me a squirrel."

And the first guy -- let's call him King George VII for conveniences' sakes -- says "But Charlie, why would you want to go hunt down a poor squirrel? Kill a poor squirrel cuzzzin' you're hungry? Think about the poor squirrel. You gonna kill it with a stone? How you gonna kill it?"

And Charlie says "No, maybe I'll just shoot it with my rifle."

And King George VII says "But Charlie, you ain't got no rifle."

And Charlie says, "Well, I know that."

And King George VII says "Well, if you ain't got no rifle, how you planning to kill a squirrel?"

And Charlie says, "Well, I kinda hadn't figured that part out yet."

And King George VII says "Well, how come you don't just go to the McDonald's on 40th and Brooklyn and just scare you up some change from some guy and just go eat there?"

And Charlie says, "Because at McDonald's they don't put mustard on squirrels."
