Showing Original Post only (View all)An old joke for Antonin [View all]
Last edited Sat Feb 13, 2016, 09:29 PM - Edit history (1)
There's an old joke about a man who would buy a newspaper every day from a paperboy, scan the front page, and then throw the paper away in disgust. After a while, the paperboy asked him why he kept throwing the paper away. "I'm looking for someone in the obituaries," the man replied. "But, sir," said the paperboy, "the obituaries are on page 30." The man looked at him and said, "When the son of a bitch I'm looking for dies, he'll be on the front page."
... and there he is.
