A zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he asks St. Peter, “I have a question that haunted me all of my days on earth… Am I a white horse with black stripes, or a black horse with white stripes?”
St Peter said, “That’s a question only God can answer.”
So the zebra went off in search of God. When he found Him, the zebra asked, “God, please — I must know — am I a white horse with black stripes, or a black horse with white stripes?”
God simply replied “You are what you are.”
The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him, “Well, did God straighten out your query for you?”
The zebra looked puzzled. “No sir, God simply said, ‘you are what you are.’”
St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, “Well then, that answers it — you are a white horse with black stripes.”
The zebra asked St. Peter, “How do you know that?”
“Because,” said St. Peter, “if you were a black horse with white stripes, God would have said “You is what you is.”

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, “Crushed nuts?”
“No,” he replied, “arthritis.”

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, “Windy, isn’t it?”
Second one says, “No, its Thursday!”
Third one says, “So am I. Let’s go get a beer.”

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
