THE COW, THE FLY AND THE MAN

   A cow grazed in a field when a fly sat on his back. The cow tried to hit the fly with his tail, saying:

    -Go out from my back, despicable insect!

   But the fly escaped and answered:

   -The man takes your milk, eats your meat and you irritate yourself just with me who only sat on your back!

  The cow thought, but irritated yet more and hit the fly with his tail, killing the insect.

A MAN LYING

  

   A man lying on a bed scratched his head, scratched his penis and said:

   -A pubic louse and a head louse run for president…

   The woman that scratched herself beside the man remained silent and he asked her:

   -Will you vote for the pubic louse or for the head louse?

   And then the woman got up and answered:

   -I am not going to vote…

   The man lying stayed silent and she continued:

THE EASEL

   Two drunken men were reeling along the street and met the photo of a political candidate on a wood easel. One of the drunken men held on the easel and said:

    -Today you are on all fours in my front waiting for my vote, but  tomorrow, when you will be elected, I will be who will be mounted by you.

    And then the other drunken man answered:

     -He will do that if you will be sober or do you think that he is going to want to fall?

THE HEAD LOUSE AND THE PUBIC LOUSE

     

   A louse came down from the head of an infested man to the pubic region of that same man and the lice of that region elected him their president. But when one of their subordinates informed that a pubic louse needed him, the head louse answered:

    -What that “chato” wants from me?

Polis pediculosis

   

  

   A fine-tooth comb passed and downed a louse from the hair to an under region of the body of an infested man. The louse adapted himself in that new region, understood its language and said to the new louses that he met:

   -I came from a superior region but I feed me with the same blood that you feed yourself.

    And then the pubic lice admired the humble speech of the head louse and elected him as their president.

THE LOUSE OF THE POLIS

     A man lying scratched his head, scratched his penis and said:

   -I think I am going to upset my vote in the next election.

   The woman that scratched herself on the same bed was also worried:

   -It won’t upset the problem. We must look for a doctor for a treatment against our parasites.

   And the man that still scratched himself, answered:

   -I am not worried with the head louse or with the pubic louse, but with the louse of the Polis.

THE REPENTANT HORSE

  

    An alligator dreamed with a dragon with his opened mouth in front of him and entered. Into the mouth of the dragon, he saw the way to the hell and the way to the heaven, but woke before following one of the ways. The alligator repented of his sins and opened a church in the forest.

    Several animals heard about the alligator’s vision, came to his church and formed a line to enter the opened mouth. A horse waited for hours in line, but when he entered the mouth he didn’t saw any way. And then the horse turned to leave, saying:

    -If God still didn’t decide about my way after death, it means that I will live for a very long time!

    But the alligator closed his mouth quickly, champed and swallowed the horse, answering:

    -Sometimes what your mind deduces doesn’t happen in reality!
