Joke Title: The legend of the bronze rat
Joke: A tourist walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at
the
exotica, he notices a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat.
It
has no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must have it.
He took it to the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?" "Twelve dollars
for
the rat, one hundred dollars for the story," said the owner.
The tourist gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you
can
keep the story."
As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a
few
real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following
him
down the street. This was disconcerting; he began walking faster. But
within a couple blocks, the herd of rats behind him had grown to
hundreds,
and they began squealing.
He began to trot toward the bay, looking around to see that the rats
now
numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him
faster
and faster.
Concerned, even scared, he ran to the edge of the bay and threw the
bronze
rat as far out into the bay as he could. Amazingly, the millions of
rats
all jumped into the bay after it, and were all drowned.
The man walked back to the curio shop.
"Ah ha," said the owner, "You have come back for the story?"
"No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
politician."
