"Curly"she says," I'm gonna tell you a riddle, okay?"
"okay." I agree.
"But first, I have to ask you a question."
"yeah?"
"Um, who made the United States building?"
"The United states building? Maybe youre thinking about the Empire State building."
"No, I'm really sure it's the United States Building. Okay, fine, Empire State. But who built it?"
" I dont really know."
"Well let's just say it was George Washington, okay?"
"okay."
"Now who built the United States building?"
"George Washington."
"Nope-George Statesington."
And you were expecting a knock-knock states joke.

The Stupid, the Armed and the Stupidly Armed
October 20, 2006, 9:03 AM
This 6th grader comes up to me and tells me the 6th grade play is in a week. He wants to know if he can borrow a toy gun for the play. I tell him sure, and give him 30cal's old AK-47. I don't see it for another eight months.

The same 6th grader shows up at the door and asks if he can borrow a movie. I tell him, only if you bring that gun back here tommorow. He agrees and goes home.
Now I was fully expecting him to bring it to my house. After all, our school has a rule: anyone cuaght with a gun gets suspended on sight. You'd have to be crazy to bring a gun there.
The next day, the guy comes to school. A teacher quickly sees that he is carrying an AK-47 in his hand. The teacher asked him why he had a gun, to which he responded:
"What, this? This isn't mine. This is Curly's."
This was not too good for business. I had a teacher pull me out of class and show me the gun. He was about to suspend me, too. So I explained to him it's for a play that was on in October, I didn't bring it in, it's not my fualt, etc.
I did avoid getting suspended. The principle was furious with me, and most of the teachers weren't too happy to see me either. I managed to get the AK-47 into my locker pretty quickly, but it was the begining of school, and a lot of people going to their classrooms saw me.
This is why you should not give stupid people guns.
