A monkey, a parachutist and a taxi walk into a bar. Put your thinking cap on to see if you can finish the joke.
A few facts to help you along:
The monkey is a thief. A tourist filed a formal complaint against a monkey that he says stole his reading glasses in India.
Monkeys are known for harassing tourists in India, but this one has a rock-solid defense. If the tourist lost his reading glasses, how will he ever identify the monkey?
The parachutist is lost. A team of 25 paratroopers that mistakenly invaded a Colorado prison last week was about 3 miles off target. The special operations forces meant to invade an airport.
Note to airlines: Don’t lose a paratrooper’s suitcase. He and his friends might invade you, and besides, that’s where he keeps his compass.
The taxi is in Alaska. Bethel, Alaska, has more taxicabs per capita than New York City, because the town is so remote that you can’t get there by car.
But if you’re a paratrooper, you can try dropping in by air. Just don’t land in Canada by mistake. They’ll think you’re starting a war.
