I Yam What I Yam

While digging in the jungle 
one day, Fox unearthed a 
yam that looked exactly like 
the Virgin Mary--and it
was weeping. With fear
and trembling, he rushed
the weeping yam to a nearby
monastery, a special order
that was in charge of weeping
things that look like Mary.
"Sorry," said a monk, "we
already have a whole room
full of weeping yams, but
we can always use a 
sobbing cheese if you
happen across one."

  
Plato Goes to Hell

When Plato died
and went to hell,
he found himself
chained to a chair
facing a slide screen
while Coyote made
hand shadows of
bunnies, birdies
and doggies in 
the beam of light
from the projector.

 
Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Coyote stepped into
the confessional and
spoke through the little
hole which opened
before him. "Forgive
me Father," said Coyote,
"for I have sinned."
"No shit," came a voice
from the hole. "The Pope
is Catholic, Smoky the Bear
blows loaf in the woods
and Coyote sins."

But When Does an Egg Become a Fryer? 

Coyote went to the hen house
to gather eggs but couldn't
get through the door because
it was blocked by a bunch of
chickens carrying pictures and
signs. "Murderer," squawked
one of the chickens, holding
up a placard with a fuzzy chick
on one side and a fried egg
on the other. Another chicken
shook a sign in his face that
said CHICKY KILLER. A small
flock of hens tried to enter
so they could lay their eggs,
and the chickens locked wings
around them and implored them to
reconsider. Behind this hubbub,
Fox walked out, grabbed one of the 
hens by its feet, took it to a stump and
chopped off its head. While he was
doing this, a bunch of chickens put
down their CHICKY KILLER placards, picked
up FRY THE BITCH placards and 
followed Fox to the chopping stump.
