While speaking to an APPLE rep yesterday morning who, with patient detail, repaired Marash Girl's g-mail account, Marash Girl learned that the rep was from Idaho. "From our perspective here in Boston, Idaho seems like it must be like the Garden of Eden. Is it?" The rep answered that in fact, yes, it is! Gaining courage, Marash Girl asked the Apple rep whether she had ever heard the riddle that Marash Girl's father used to ask his children many years ago, a joke in which Idaho played a major role . . . She had not. So here, for all of you who have NOT heard the riddle, it is:
Question: If Mississippi wore a New Jersey, what did Delaware?
Answer: Idaho, Alaska!
'Wore'? Is that a typo?

ReplyDeletethat sounds like it must have been a 'thirties' joke. was it?
ReplyDeleteMost of Dad's jokes were from the thirties!
ReplyDeletelike: in order to get ahead in life, you have to be born with one.
ReplyDeleteYes! Which others do you remember?
DeleteToo bad Ian is not still alive. He would have remembered them all. I think Ian was the only true friend dad ever had. What do you think?
DeleteLike, "Man sitting on tack is better off!"
