Subject: Firing Squad

<YFEM> = Your Favorite Ethnic Minority.

|
|
Well, it seems that these three fellows, an American, a German
|
|
and a <YFEM>, are about to be executed in front of a firing squad. As
|
|
the final hour approachs, each man is trying to think of a way to escape
|
|
his inevitable doom. The time comes for the execution and the American
|
|
is brought first in front of the firing squad. As the blindfold is
|
|
being tied around his head, he decides that he will attempt his escape
|
|
by diverting the attention of his executioners at the final moment, and
|
|
then running away.
|
|
|
|
The officer in charge of the executions starts his countdown:
|
|
"10, 9, 8, .....". Just before the officer reaches "1", the American
|
|
shouts, " F L O O D !!". Startled, all of the gunmen look up from their
|
|
rifles and turn around searching for the onrush of water. In all of this
|
|
confusion, the American manages to take off his blindfold and run away.
|
|
By the time the executioners are aware of what happened, the American
|
|
has made his way deep into the woods. And, of course, for the purposes
|
|
of this joke, no attempt is made to catch the runaway.
|
|
|
|
The German is called on next to appear before the squad. Seeing
|
|
the American's success, the German decides to attempt a similar escape.
|
|
He knows, though, that his executioners will not fall for the 'flood'
|
|
trick again. Instead, he decides to use another natural disaster.

|
|
shouts, " H U R R I C A N E !!". Startled, all of the gunmen look up
|
|
from their rifles and turn around searching for the onrush of wind. In
|
|
all of the confusion, the German manages to take off his blindfold and
|
|
run away. By the time the executioners are aware of what happened, the

The <YFEM> is called on next to appear before the squad. Seeing
|
|
his predecessor's successes, the <YFEM> decides to attempt a similar escape.
|
|
He knows, though, that his executioners will not fall for the 'flood' or
|
|
the 'hurricane' tricks again. Instead, he decides to use another natural
|
|
disaster.
