Two Polish guys were taking their first train trip. A vendor came down the corridor selling bananas which they’d never seen before. Each bought one.
The first one eagerly peeled the banana and bit into it just as the train went into a tunnel. When the train emerged from the tunnel, he looked across to his friend and said, “I wouldn’t eat that if I were you.”
“Why not?”
“I took one bite and went blind for half a minute.”

A little girl was in church with her mother when she started feeling ill. “Mommy,” she said, “can we leave now?”
“No” her mother replied.
“Well, I think I’m gonna be sick, Momma!”
“Then go out the front door and around to the back of the church and then behind a bush.”
After about 60 seconds the little girl returned to her seat.
“Were you sick?” her mom asked.
“Yes.”
“How could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and returned so quickly?”
“I didn’t have to go out of the church, Mommy. They have a box next to the front door that says, ‘For the Sick’.”

A guy goes into a restaurant/lounge wearing a shirt open at the collar and is met by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to gain admission. So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a necktie and discovers that he just doesn’t have one. He sees a set of jumper cables in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free. He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer carefully looks him over for a few minutes and then says, “Well, OK, I guess you can come in – just don’t start anything.”

There once was a king who was loved by all of his subjects, especially because of the hunting excursions he arranged and shared with them. As will happen, the king died and his eldest son took the throne. Now this new king was an animal lover to the core, and immediately outlawed all forms of hunting and fishing. His subjects accepted this for only a short time before they finally ousted him. This was a truly a significant event because it’s the first time a reign was ever called on account of game.

Some men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the men walked in the office and said, “We need some four-by-twos.”
The clerk said, “You mean two-by-fours, don’t you?”
The man said, “I’ll go check,” and went back to the truck. He returned in a minute and said, “Yeah, I meant two-by-fours.”
“Alright. How long do you need them?”
The customer paused for a minute and said, “I’d better go check.” After awhile, the customer returned to the office and said, “A long time. We’re gonna build a house.”

A crusty old man walks into a bank and says to the teller at the window, “I want to open a damn checking account.”
To which the astonished woman replies, “I beg your pardon, sir; I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?”
“Listen up, damn it. I said I want to open a damn checking account, right now!”
“I’m very sorry sir, but we do not tolerate that kind of language in this bank.” So saying, the teller leaves the window and goes over to the bank manager to tell him about her situation.
They both return and the manager asks the old geezer, “What seems to be the problem here?”
“There’s no damn problem,” the man says, “I just won 50 million bucks in the damned lottery and I want to open a damn checking account in this damn bank!”
“I see,” says the manager, “and this damned bitch here is giving you a hard time?

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

I was as fascinated by the furniture, ways of life, and architecture as I was about the plot. Great stuff. I loved how Alexandra drove a nail into her evil heart and took away her confidence. The look on Regina was that if the movie was longer no doubt she would have tried to murder Alexandra.
