To set up this joke... for those who don't know, "Hutterites" are a Western form of Old Amish, Pennsylvania Dutch, etc. The train bridge referred to is the one seen in that shot in the movie "The Silverstreak" with Gene Wilder (about 4 miles from my house).

Two Hutterites walk into a pet shop in Lethbridge and head directly to the bird section.

Jacob, the Preacher, says to John, the Farm Boss, "Dat's dem."

The owner comes over and asks if he can help them.

"Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere,"

says John. The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Jacob and John pay

for the birds, leave the shop and get into the colony van and drive over

to the train trellis bridge.



From the top of the bridge, John looks down at the 1000-foot drop and

says, "Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the bag,

puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the bridge. Jacob watches as

John falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Jacob shakes his head

And says: "Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous fer me."



BUT WAIT!!!! There's MORE!

PART TWO:

Moments later Isaac, the Hog Boss, arrives up on the bridge. He's been

to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the bridge carrying

another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

"Hey, Jacob, vatch dis," Isaac says. He takes a parrot from the bag and

throws himself off the bridge. Jacob watches as halfway down, Isaac

takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Isaac continues to plummet until he

hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.



Jacob shakes his head and says, "Ya, und I'm never trying dat

parrotshooting either."



BUT WAIT!!!!....

PART THREE:



Jacob is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Abe, the

Chicken Boss, appears. He's carrying an old potato sack out of which he

pulls a chicken -- one of those old layer hens. Abe then grasps the

chicken by the legs holds it over his head and hurls himself off the

bridge and disappears down and down until he hits hard and breaks his

spine



Jacob shakes his head in sadness. "First der vas John wid his budgie

jumping, den Isaac parrotshooting...... and now we've lost Abe from

hengliding.

Try this one on for fun...its perhaps worse:)

There was a math party and all the functions were there. They soon noticed that off in the corner, e^x was standing around doing his best not to be seen. So x^2 and ln(x) went over and said "Hey, e^x, why don't you come on over here and integrate yourself into the party...try and derive some pleasure from it?" and e^x replied, "It's no use...I'm not a party-function and no matter how much i try to integrate myself or derive anything, I simply can't change who I am"

I might have to ask a math teacher or one of my students to explain that one...
