  Cecil B. de Mille, perhaps one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, was directing his latest movie. He had to shoot a difficult battle scene, using thousands of extras as gladiators fighting in a huge outdoor stadium. C.B., as he was known on the movie set, strategically placed seventeen cameras all around the stadium to capture every movement of the extras. It was very important that the whole scene be shot in one take, by all seventeen cameras, or the scene would be ruined, so he gave each of the seventeen cameramen walkie-talkies so he could coordinate the shots.

  Finally, Cecil B. de Mille was ready to shoot the scene. Perched on his boom camera, he radioed camera number one. “Camera one,” said C.B., “are you ready?”

  “Ready when you are, C.B.!” replied camera one.

  “Camera two,” said C.B., “are you ready?”

  “Ready when you are, C.B.!” replied camera two.

  He did the same for the rest of the camera operators and all the cameramen responded with, “Ready when you are, C.B.!”

  “Roll cameras and action!” yelled de Mille into his walkie-talkie, and the thousands of extras went into action while the cameras rolled.

  After ten long minutes, de Mille yelled, “Cut! Camera one, did you get it?”

  “Got it, C.B.!” said camera one.

  “Camera two, did you get it?” asked C.B.

  “Got it, C.B.!” said camera two.

  He asked the same question for all the cameras up to number sixteen and they all responded with, “Got it, C.B.!”

  Finally he asked camera seventeen, “Camera seventeen, did you get it?”

  “Ready when you are, C.B.!” came the voice over the walkie-talkie.

  And speaking of movies… I promised this joke to my parents.

  On the set of Ginger Rogers’s last movie. The stage is set, the cameras are ready, and the director tells the assistant director to go get Miss Rogers from her dressing room. The A.D. knocks on her door, but there is no answer. He tells the director that he can’t find her anywhere.

  The director then tells everyone to go look for her. People are searching high and low. Finally, a stagehand runs up to the director and says, “I found her! I found her!”

  “Where was she?” asks the director.

  The stagehand replies, “I found her under Astaire!”

  The barber says, “About an hour and a half.” The guy leaves.

  The next day, the guy walks in again and asks, “How long is the wait?”

  “About forty-five minutes,” says the barber, and the guy leaves.

  Curious, the barber says to a customer, “Do me a favor, follow that guy and tell me where he goes. He’s been coming in all week asking me how long the wait is. I have the only shop in town and I’ve never given him a haircut.”

  An hour later, the customer comes back and says, “I found out where that guy goes.”

  “Oh, and where’s that?” asks the barber.

  “Your house,” says the customer.

  Three guys are in line at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter asks the first guy, “What’s your story, how did you die?”

  The first guy says, “I came home early, saw my wife naked, and I noticed a cigar in the ashtray. I don’t smoke cigars, so I looked out the window and I saw a guy run out of my apartment building to the street, frantically hailing a cab. I snapped, picked up the refrigerator, and threw it out the window. The strain was too much for me and I had a heart attack.”

  St. Peter asks the second guy, “How about you, how did you die?”

  “Well,” says the second guy, “I was late for work one day and I was running out of my building trying to get a cab when a refrigerator fell on me.”

  St. Peter asks the third guy, “And you, how did you die?”

  A guy goes to a church and walks into the confessional. “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned,” he says.

  The priest says, “What is it that brings you here?” “Well, Father,” says the guy, “I used the F-word over the weekend.”

  “How did this come about?” asks the priest.

  “Well, Father,” says the guy, “I was playing golf and on the first tee I hit a slice into the trees.”

  “And that’s when you cursed out loud?” asks the priest.

  “Oh no, not yet,” says the guy. “Well, I got lucky. I found my ball and had a clear shot to the green when, all of a sudden, a squirrel came out of the bushes, picked up my ball by its teeth, and scampered up a tree.”

  “That must have been when you cursed,” says the priest.

  “No,” says the guy, “because just as the squirrel got to the top of the tree, a hawk swooped down and grabbed it with its talons. The hawk flew out over the green and the squirrel dropped the ball, which landed five inches from the cup.”

  “Oh, I see, that’s when you cursed,” the priest says assuredly.

  “No, not then, you see—”

  The priest interrupts, “Don’t tell me you missed the fucking putt!”

  A man goes to confession. “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned,” he says. “I haven’t been to confession in a long time and I have a sin that has been weighing heavily on mine and my family’s conscience for many years.”

  “What is your sin, my son?” asks the priest.

  “We hid a family of Jews from the Nazis,” says the man.

  “My son,” says the priest, “saving a family from certain death is not a sin.”

  “We charged them five hundred dollars a month,” says the man.

  “Well,” says the priest, “was it agreeable to them? Did the expense cause them any hardship?”

  “Oh yes, they agreed, Father, and they could afford the money,” says the man.

  “Did they have enough food and were they healthy?” asks the priest.

  “Yes, Father, they had plenty of food, they were healthy,” says the man.

  The priest thinks for a moment and says, “My son, you and your family haven’t committed any sin. I don’t know what you are worried about.”

  “But Father,” says the man, “should I tell them that the war is over?”

  Hear about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control her pupils?

  The phone rings in Saddam Hussein’s office. “Hello?” says Saddam.

  “Hello, Saddam?” says the caller. “This is Paddy up in County Cork, Ireland. I’m ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!”

  “Well, Paddy,” says Saddam, “how big is your army?”

  “At this moment in time,” says Paddy, “there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next-door neighbor Gerry, and the entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!”

  “I must tell you Paddy,” says Saddam, “I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command.”

  “Begorra!” says Paddy, “I’ll have to ring you back!”

  The next day, Paddy calls Hussein. “Saddam, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!”

  “What equipment would that be, Paddy?” asks Saddam.

  “Well, we have two International Harvester combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy’s tractor from the farm!” says Paddy.

  “I must tell you, Paddy,” says Saddam, “that I have 16, 000 tanks, 14, 000 armored personnel carriers
, and my army has increased to one and a half million since we last spoke.”

  “Really?” says Paddy. “I’ll have to ring you back!”

  The next day, Paddy calls Hussein. “Saddam,” says Paddy, “the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We’ve modified Ted’s ultra-light with a couple of rifles in the cockpit, and the dominoes team has joined us as well!”

  Saddam Hussein says, “It is I who am sorry that you called off the war. But tell me, Paddy, why are you calling it off?”

  “Well,” says Paddy, “we’ve had a chat and there’s no way we can feed two million prisoners!”

  Margaret is concerned that Paddy drinks too much. She decides the only way to stop him from drinking is to scare the shit out of him. One night while Paddy is at the pub, Margaret rummages through the closet and finds an old Halloween costume of the devil. She puts on the cap and the mask with the horns and goes out to the graveyard that separates their house and the pub and hides behind a gravestone to wait for Paddy.

  Sure enough, like clockwork, Paddy stumbles out of the pub as it closes and takes the path through the graveyard to his house. Halfway down the path, Margaret jumps out from behind a grave-stone, dressed in the devil’s costume, and says menacingly, “I’M THE DEVIL!”
