MY JOKE HAS TRAVELLED AROUND THE WORLD :
SADISM, MASOCHISM: The one wants to administer pain or frustration—
The other wants to receive it.

Fifty years ago, in a graduate philosophy class, I told this story to illustrate
The paradoxical nature of this relationship:

A sadist married a masochist/
In the hotel room, she said, ‘Now beat me !”
He thought for a minute, gave a devilish smile,
And said “NO!”

She thought, and said, ‘THANKS ! ‘

He said ‘DAMN !”

The prof asked why didn’t I enroll in some other class—
But it turned out he dined out on this story.

It was told to me in England.

We have two Albanian-Muslim friends—
And they told me MY story, which they had heard in Europe.

JACK WRIGHT'S FAVORITE STORY:
This farmboy got a job as a bellboy in a city hotel.
He got summoned to this room/"Come in!"
This woman was standing stark naked, admiring herself in the mirror.
She grabbed the lad, pulled him inside, saying "I hear someone coming!"

Strutting again,she asked, "What do you think is my best feature?"
He replied, "Your ears !"
Huh?
"A minute ago, when you heard someone coming--that was ME !"
A PROUD MOMENT?

I brought some donated food to a homeless shelter.
A group of clients were waiting outside
for the dormitory to open.

I complained that no staff were around.

One sympathetic client said,
“No, the Catholics give Sunday lunch, but no supper.
If you want supper, you’ll have to go to the
Protestant shelter.”
