i have a joke like that:
so these three explorers were trekking through the jungle, when they came across a mayan temple. they run up the stairs, get to the temple at the top, and find three chests. around each chest are jewels. the first explorer goes to the chest with sapphires, opens it, and finds a card that says, "you will die a watery death."
he doesn't care about the card, takes the jewels, and leaves.
the second explorer comes up to the chest with rubies, opens it, and finds a card that said, "you will die a fiery death." he doesn't care, takes the jewels, and leaves.
so the third explorer goes to the chest with diamonds, opens the chest, finds a card that says, "you will die a mysterious death." he ignores the card, takes the jewels, and leaves.
5 years later, back home, the three explorers became millionares.
one lived in a mcmansion in miami, one lived in a mcmansion in new york, and one lived in a mcmansion on park point in duluth, of course.
one day, the third explorer gets the news that the first one drowned in the ocean near his miami house and died. he feels sad, but gets over it.
the next day, he gets the news that the second explorer died when his new york mansion caught on fire. by now the first explorer was getting a little freaked out.
the next day, a whirlpool appeared in lake superior outside his house. nobody knew how it got there, and every day, it would drag a taconite freightor to the depths.
one cold night, the whirlpool grew and grew and grew until a coffin flew out and thudded on the beach.
the coffin slid towards the guy, so he ran inside. the coffin slid through his door. he ran up the stairs; the coffin followed.
he ran up to the attic, and the coffin creaked up the stairs. he then threw a cough drop at the coffin and it instantly was destroyed.
moral: the cough drop stops the coffin.
