SU’s WRITERS
City Horseman
by John Lopez
Here are the jokes that will
redden many a cheek and
brighten many a gathering amidst
the serious tones of exams. I
promise that these jokes will perk
up your days and dazzle your
closest compatriots - provided, of
course, that they aren’t prudes or
pinheads. "Good taste", as it was
interpreted by the censors (Texas
Sclioolboard Commission), didn’t
allow the collection and publica-
tion of these funny stories. And
so they have been told aloud,
passed from mouth to mouth and
in some instances generation to
generation. Please enjoy this oral
tradition and do not hesitate to
modify them to your taste.
1) The teacher told the stu-
dents that they were going to play
a game.
"I’ve got something behind
my back and I’m going to de-
scribe it and you guess what it
is," she said.
"I’m holding something round
and red. Can anybody guess?-
"An apple?" little Freddy said.
"No," said the teacher, "but it
shows you were thinking. It’s a
cherry. Now I’m holding a
something round and orange.
Can you tell me what it is?"
"An orange" little Freddy
said.
"No," said the teacher, "but it
shows you were thinking. It’s a
peach."
Freddy raised his hand.
"Teacher, can I play the game
too?"
The teacher said yes, and
Freddy went to the back of room,
faced the rear and said "Teacher,
I’m holding something about two
inches long with a red tip."
The teacher said "FREDDY!"
"No,” said little Freddy," but
it shows you were thinking. It’s a
match."
2) The Mother superior in the
convent school was talking with
her young students and she asked
them what they wanted to be
when they grew up.
A twelve-year-old said, "I
want to be a prostitute."
The Mother Superior fainted
dead away on the spot. When
they revived her, she raised her
head from the ground and gasped,
"What—did—-you—say?"
So I’m coming right over."

So the young lady Took the
coffee pot off the stove
Covered up the parrot
Pulled down the shade
Took off her robe
Got into bed
And heard the parrot mumble,
"Kee-rist, what a short day
that was!"
The young girl shrugged. "I
said I want to be a prostitute."
"A prostitute!!" the Mother
Superior said, "Oh, praise sweet
Jesus! And I thought you said
you wanted to be a Protestant."
3) Why can’t Catholics sail
boats in rough seas?
It upsets their sense of
rhythm.
One morning recently
A young woman
Got out of bed
Slipped into her robe
Raised the shade
Uncovered the parrot
Put on the coffee pot
Answered the phone
And heard a masculine, Don
Johnson say:
"Hello honey. My ship just
hit port
Hey old lady!
Don’t walk on by.
You in your fine clothes,
Watch my body shake.
I gots the hunger,
I got it bad.
Your dangling purse,
It’s a tempting prize.
My hunger calls,
I gotta do it.
A quick pull; IPs mine!
I got the goods.
Time to see the man
The Magic Man.
Hey Old lady, stop your cryin
And I’ll stop mine.
My man came through!
I’m heaven bound.
Hey Old lady, turn around!
And watch your dough shoot
up my arm.
Goodbye Dawn

Mark
on the city nestled in the valley
below. It was a one hour hike to
the top of the bluff, but Mark
thought the view was worth the
hike. He had snuck out of the
house in the dark. It was almost
6:00 in the morning, his mother
would just now be fixing break-
fast. She wasn’t really crazy
about his early morning hikes,
but as long as he wasn’t late for
school, she didn’t complain too
loudly.
Looking off into the rising
sun, he saw a shooting star. He
watched it become a blinding
light that made his head spin. In
the light he saw a vision. He saw
golden cities, towering up into
the sky. He saw millions of peo-
ple, loving, laughing and living in
a world where there was no
and—no
poverty. He saw scientific won-
ders that confounded him beyond
belief, he was walking on shin-
ing streets seeing the faces of
men and women who didn’t
know what it was like to feel
pain, or anger, or depression.
People whose every need was
filled, every dream was attained,
and every moment was fulfilling.
He saw his childrens’ faces
glowing as they spoke of the evils
of a world past. He saw the fu-
ture, and was filled with hope.
Then the. light exploded
within his brain, and he realized
that it had only been a dream, a
split second lie. As he felt his
very flesh burning away, he
knew. Mankind had gambled and
lost. Too bad. It had been such a
beautiful dream.
