Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and a KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN are all working together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. 'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total' says the Genie.
The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada '
POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.
Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.'
POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.
The Kentuckian says, 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.'
The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 5oo feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable.'
The Kentuckian sits down on his Harley, cracks a beer, lites a cigar,smiles and says,
'Fill it with water.'

[Image] It's Tuesday again and time for weekly word game! I am sure everyone has heard of the Running of the bulls in Pamplona Spain right? Besides being one of the most dangerous (and stupid) things anyone could ever do it has become a cultural event for that area and seems to have spawned many parodies and copycats. Well I read this article about one such parody in New Orleans that I thought would be just perfect for us to play word game with. It seems they have a festival there called the Rolling of the Bulls where female roller derby athletes chase people dressed as "bull runners" through the French Quarter with bats! I know sounds about as dangerous as the original right? Well I figured that we could come up with a few more "Running Of " activities here at YJKOBT. Complete the news article with your own made up "Running Of The" festival and be as descriptive as you want to be:
NEW ORLEANS - It's the running of the bulls, New Orleans style. Hundreds of men, women and children, most in white with red scarves around their waists and red bandannas around their necks, gathered outside a French Quarter bar Saturday morning to be chased down Bourbon Street by members of New Orleans' roller derby league. "Roller skates and a stampede through the Quarter — what could possibly go wrong?" said accountant Jason Medonia. The run, in its second year, featured 33 roller girls in horned helmets from teams with names like Confederacy of Punches and Crescent Wenches. A few minutes after the runners started, the skaters whacked their plastic bats on the street and took off. Behind them putted Elvis impersonators on motorized scooters. This year's crowd included Russ Schlievert, who came from Montana to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina and loved New Orleans so much he and his wife retired here. He will miss the annual "Running of the Sheep," an event he organized in 1989 in Reed Point, Mont., but said he was impressed with Saturday's event.
