To Tell The Truth: There may be no honor among thieves, but can't we find it even in a few good men and women?
Should The Human Brain Retire?: We know that we cannot win forever. We know that machines will continue to improve. So why don't we let the human brain retire gracefully now, with honors?
Gibson's Father Convinces Jews To Give Up World Control
Despite the bizarre tenor of
recent world events, sometimes parody is still stranger than
truth.

Bowing to intense pressure from
Mel Gibson's father, Jews announced today that they would no longer control the
world. In a press release, Jews stated, "Although we have thoroughly enjoyed the
challenges of world domination for the last 300 years, we feel it's time for
gentiles to take control of their own affairs. We plan to spend more time with
our families and pursue other interests."
Hutton Gibson stated he was pleased with
the announcement, but expressed concern he was losing a scapegoat for all of his
problems. He said he would be launching a search for a new minority group to
demonize.
Many Jews expressed relief that
they could give up burdensome responsibilities. Retired accountant Jerry
Friedman, who controls all media in Montana, said, "I would just as well let the
citizens of Montana manage their own TV and newspapers. Don't get me wrong,
Montana is a fine state. But it gets awfully cold, and there's nowhere to get a
good bagel."
Attorney Allen Franks said
he's glad he no longer has to manage Bulgarian monetary policy. "It was getting
to be quite a hassle," he said. "I already have a full time job and can't even
balance my own checkbook, let alone control the finances of an entire
nation."
Homemaker Judith Levine said she
would "...miss the hustle and bustle of setting the international price for
magnesium every day. But my son is about to be Bar Mitzvah'd, and oy! Such a
party we're gonna have you wouldn't believe!"
Hollywood producer Sidney Greenbaum was
pessimistic about the announcement. "Do you really think goyim know how to make
movies?" he asked. "They'll all end up being high budget, technicolor snuff
flicks if you leave things up to Mel and his kind."
Comedy experts expressed concern that
the business would suffer if Jews suddenly withdrew. According to one insider,
"Take away all the Jewish comics and writers, and all you have left is Carrot
Top. That's not a world I want to live in."
A potluck dinner in honor of Jews'
contributions to mankind will be held at the Hoboken Holiday Inn on April 3. All
gentiles are welcome to attend. Participants will be encouraged to share an
offensive Jewish joke.
