The bronze statues

A tourist wanders into a back-alley antique shop in San Franciscos Chinatown. Picking through the objects on display he discovers a detailed, life-sized bronze sculpture of a rat. The sculpture is so interesting and unique that he picks it up and asks the shop owner what it costs.

Twelve dollars for the rat, sir, says the shop owner, and a thousand dollars more for the story behind it.

You can keep the story, old man, he replies, but Ill take the rat.

The transaction complete, the tourist leaves the store with the bronze rat under his arm. As he crosses the street in front of the store, two live rats emerge from a sewer drain and fall into step behind him. Nervously looking over his shoulder, he begins to walk faster, but every time he passes another sewer drain, more rats come out and follow him. By the time hes walked two blocks, at least a hundred rats are at his heels, and people begin to point and shout. He walks even faster, and soon breaks into a trot as multitudes of rats swarm from sewers, basements, vacant lots, and abandoned cars. Rats by the thousands are at his heels, and as he sees the waterfront at the bottom of the hill, he panics and starts to run full tilt.

No matter how fast he runs, the rats keep up, squealing hideously, now not just thousands but millions, so that by the time he comes rushing up to the waters edge a trail of rats twelve city blocks long is behind him. Making a mighty leap, he jumps up onto a light post, grasping it with one arm while he hurls the bronze rat into San Francisco Bay with the other, as far as he can heave it. Pulling his legs up and clinging to the light post, he watches in amazement as the seething tide of rats surges over the breakwater into the sea, where they drown.

Shaken and mumbling, he makes his way back to the antique shop.

Ah, so youve come back for the rest of the story, says the owner.

No, says the tourist, I was wondering if you have a bronze lawyer.

Mustard — A Tragic Story

As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun, crisp lettuce, and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the picnic table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side. Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich, she said. I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my fingers. I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard. No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my tongue. Later (after she stopped crying from laughing so hard) my wife said, Now you know why they call that mustard Poupon.

Un da un Sacerdote decidi

Un día un Sacerdote decidió irse a cortar el pelo. Cuando llegó el momento de pagar, el sacerdote le dice al peluquero: ¿cuánto le debo?

Nada, tómelo como un favor a la Iglesia.

Al día siguiente en la puerta de la peluquería aparecieron 12 rosarios, y una nota de agradecimiento.

Al día siguiente llega un policía a cortarse el pelo y al pagar le pregunta al peluquero: ¿cuánto va a ser?

Nada, tómelo como un favor a la justicia.

Al día siguiente aparecieron en la puerta 12 rosquillas y una nota de agradecimiento.

Otro día, llegó un senador a cortarse el pelo y cuando iba a pagar dice: ¿cuánto es?

Nada, tómelo como un favor al país.

Y a la mañana siguiente aparecieron 12 senadores esperando a que abriera el peluquero.
