He used up the last of his water three days ago and he&#8217;s lying, gasping, on the sand, when in the distance he suddenly hears a voice calling &#8220;Mush! Mush!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not trusting his ears he turns his head and there it is again, closer this time &#8212; &#8220;Mush! Mush!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Propping himself up on one elbow he squints against the sun and sees, of all things, an Eskimo in a fur coat driving a sled with a team of huskies across the dunes. Thinking that it&#8217;s a hallucination, he blinks and shakes his head, but it&#8217;s for real! He painfully lifts one arm and in a cracked voice calls, &#8220;He-elp!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Eskimo pulls the sled up by him, the huskies panting in the heat, and he says to the Eskimo, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing here, or why, but thank God you are! I&#8217;ve been wandering around this desert for days, my water&#8217;s all gone and I&#8217;m completely lost!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The perspiring Eskimo looks down at him and says, &#8220;You think YOU&#8217;RE lost!&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Drunk guy: &#8220;Here&#8217;s hoping you&#8217;re in Heaven ten minutes before the devil knows you&#8217;re dead!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drunk girl: &#8220;What&#8217;s that mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drunk guy: &#8220;It&#8217;s an Irish toast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drunk girl: &#8220;Oh. Well, here&#8217;s to bread, eggs and cinnamon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drunk guy: &#8220;Huh?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drunk girl: &#8220;That&#8217;s French toast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>A policeman was interviewing 3 blondes who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. &#8220;This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first blonde answers, &#8220;That&#8217;s easy, we&#8217;ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The policeman says, &#8220;Well&#8230;uh&#8230;that&#8217;s because the picture shows his profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, &#8220;This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, &#8220;Ha! He&#8217;d easy to catch because he only has one ear!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The policeman angrily responds, &#8220;What&#8217;s the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it&#8217;s a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks, &#8220;This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?&#8221; He quickly adds, &#8220;think hard before giving me a stupid answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, &#8220;Hmmmm&#8230;the suspect wears contact lenses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow! I can&#8217;t believe it! You&#8217;re right, the suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s easy,&#8221; the blonde replied. &#8220;He can&#8217;t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man is lost in the desert.
