A white man during reconstruction times was arraigned before a colored
justice of the peace for killing a man and stealing his mule. It was
in Arkansas, near the Texas border, and there was some rivalry between
the states, but the colored justice tried to preserve an impartial
frame of mind.
"We's got two kinds ob law in dis yer co't," he said: "Texas law an'
Arkansas law. Which will you hab?"
The prisoner thought a minute and then guessed that he would take the
Arkansas law.
"Den I discharge you fo' stealin' de mule, an' hang you fo' killin' de
man."
"Hold on a minute, Judge," said the prisoner. "Better make that Texas
law."
"All right. Den I fin' you fo' killin' de man, an' hang you fo'
stealin' de mule
Sports Joke
A man is out shopping and discovers a new brand of Olympic condoms. Clearly impressed, he buys a pack. Once home he tells his wife about the purchase.
"Olympic condoms?", she blurts, "What makes them so special?"
"There are three colours," he replies, "Gold, Silver and Bronze."
"What colour are you going to wear tonight?", she asks cheekily.
"Gold of course," says the man proudly.
The wife responds, "Why don't you wear Silver, it would be nice if you came second for a change!"
