[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

A Rabbi walked into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder.  "Hey, man, where'd
you get that thing"
"Oh, said the PARROT.  I got him in New York.  They have hundreds of them
there.


History
> The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah
> Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such
> that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the
> dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the pyramids
> in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of
> mountains between France and Spain.

> The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of
> the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.
> One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked
> Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Isaac,
> stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a patriarch who brought up
> his twelve sons to be patriarchs, but they did not take to it. One

> Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses

Shakespeare

> Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill the king by attacking
> his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet.
> Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote
> "Donkey Hote." The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote
> "Paradise Lost." Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained."

> Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by
> Indians, who came down the hill rolling their war hoops before them.
