FUN BOX
A man comes home from work one
day and says to his wife, "Pack your
bags, honey, I won the lottery!" She
excitedly replies, "Should I pack for
the beach or the mountains?" The
husband answers, "I don't give a
fuck, just pack and get the hell out."
Two guys walk into a convent and
ask to see the mother superior. One
asks her, "Mother, do you have any
short nuns here?" She replies that
they do. He then asks, "Do you
mey
have any really short nuns, under
four feet tall?" She answers that
there were a couple sisters who
were indeed that short. He then
were indeed that short. He then
asks, "Do you have any really short
nuns under three feet tall?" The
mother superior replies that there
were no nuns that short at the con-
vent. The guy then turns to his
friend and says, "See, I told you you
were fucking a penguin!"

POET'S
CORNER
UNSKATABLE SKATEPARK
So you just built a skatepark
But just sit and wait
And try to figure out how to skate it
Like Rock Piano 3
The composer couldn't play it
Black notes in surprising places
White dips and rising spaces.
-Joe Kessel

GOOD SKATERS NEVER DIE
One dark night,
In the middle of the day
Two dead skaters came out to play
Back to back, they faced each other
Jumped on their boards.
And outskated each other
If you don't believe this tall tale is true
Ask the blind man, he saw it too!

better and called it "Tigger."
When I got too angry
once I hit the Calico
killing it. She
Called it "Mittens"
and buried it in the grass-
behind the shed.
