The General said, "Well, anything I can do to help?"
The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show called
Star Trek and in it there is... Kirk who is Canadian, Chekhov
who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is black,
and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are NO Muslims. My son
is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any

The General laughed, leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador,
and whispered in his ear,

Thanks Dan !
PS: Well boys and girls, for the next three weeks these posts, for
the most part, will be pre-posted. Starting today we have shows
three week-ends in a row. I'll squeeze in my visits to yous guys when I can. After Labor Day weekend we're done for the
summer. So, the next three shows will be at Tahoe City, Tahoe
City, and Homewood. They are all at Lake Tahoe.
That's awesome, I can't wait until we're all wearing those jumpsuits too!
ReplyDeleteYou have fun doing the shows!
ReplyDeleteRace, just go to any "Treky" convention and pick yourself up one.
ReplyDeleteSupi, Thank you, that's exactly what I plan on doing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself and I hope you do real, real good at the shows.
ReplyDeletePlease make it so. I love this. None to contend with would be awesome and the world would be a far better place. Okay, maybe just take Islam out of the mix. That would probably accomplish the same thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day and your next three shows being very successful. :)

ReplyDeleteSandee, ah get rid of all of them. Thanks ffor the well wishing.
ReplyDeleteMarine, would you like to see the photo of us together? Just kidding, did I have you going.
ReplyDeleteEdutcher, what a genius you are.
ReplyDeleteI need to establish my geek cred here: Kirk wasn't Canadian, he's from Kansas. Bill Shatner's from Canada.
ReplyDeleteIf you guys can't tell fantasy from reality, I'll have to make you all honorary Democrats...
