Re: Jokes
A turtle stepped into a river to swim across. A scorpion on the bank asked, "Can I ride across on your back?"
The turtle said, "No. You will sting me halfway across the river, and I'll drown and die."
"I won't sting you," said the scorpion. "I want to get to the other side too. If I sting you, we'll both die. That wouldn't make any sense."
So the turtle reluctantly agreed to let the scorpion ride on his back. Sure enough, halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the turtle.
"You idiot!" the turtle cried, paralysis already setting in. "Now I'll drown, and we'll both die! Why did you do it?"
The scorpion shrugged and said, "Welcome to the Middle East."
