Anything But Banjos

Coyote looked down at his
own body, lying on a gurney
in an operating room, then
he drifted through the ceiling
and into a long white tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel was
an angel playing a banjo.
"Do you know if I'm in heaven?"
said Coyote? "No," said the
angel, "but if you'll hum
a few bars, I'll fake it."

  
Sheep Joke Compromise

Sheep was offended because
he had heard goat
in the hall saying
things to his friends like
Q: How many sheep does it
take to screw in a light bulb?
A: If there's a faulty socket,
it will take an infinite number
because they will all step up and
take their turn at being electrocuted.
One day Sheep accosted Goat
and said, "Stop telling 
those sheep jokes."
"Only if you'll get on this
conveyer belt leading to
the slaughter house," said Goat.
"Sounds like a deal to me," said Sheep.

 
Leadership Conference

"After you," 
said Mole.
"No, after you,"
said Bat.
"no, after you,"
said Mole.

Bunny had been through
some bad marriages.

who tricked her

then dumped her
when he got a good job.

who ran off because
he was expected
to share household chores.
But now she had found the
perfect male, a male
who would satisfy her
every physical, spiritual
and emotional need.
She had married Lemming.
