When the Village People were forming, they were courted by both the legendary John Hammond at Columbia Records and Lew Wasserman at the label he ran at the time. Most of the band wanted to definitely go with Hammond, but the singer held out and wanted to go with Wasserman. The rest of the band could not figure out his reasoning- after all, Columbia was bigger and offering more money. And thus was born the song "Why MCA?"
A group of tourists was visiting a monastery. One tourist peaked into the kitchen and saw a man frying chips and asked “Are you the friar?”. The man replied, “No, I’m the chip monk”.
in an effort to supplement their reduced funding, the national park service has sold naming rights for a giant gorge in western pennsylvania to a mexican fast-food restaurant. The landmark will now be known as "Taco Bell's Canyon".
Forgot to put this in my Kimmy Schmidt/Netflix post, but wanted to share the scene from when they find themselves in a redneck bar in West Virginia:
Kimmy: How far away is that? Redneck: 'Bout a hundred miles as the crow walks. (turns to others) I'm telling y'all, there's something wrong with the crows round here!
One day a baby polar bear went up to his mother and father polar bears and asked, "Am I 100% polar bear?"
Mother says: Of course you are! Father says: 100%!
Next day the baby polar bear shuffles over to his parents again and asks, "Are you sure I'm 100% polar bear?"
Mother says: Of course you are! Father says: You're polar bear through and through!
The next day comes and the baby polar bear is looking even more dejected and upset and he says to his parents, "Are you absolutely positive I'm 100% polar bear?"
Mother says: Oh my goodness, you are our son, 100% polar bear! Father says: 100%!
Next day arrives and the baby polar bear looks absolutely distraught and asks his parents one more time,"Are you sure I'm 100% polar bear and I don't have a little black bear or grizzly in me?"
Mother says: Don't be silly, you don't have any black bear or grizzly in you!" Father says: This is crazy! Why do you keep asking us if you're 100% polar bear?
