Hmmm...Thinking.....Okay, I don't get it!

#1 - Posted by: jonag on November 9, 2004 04:07 PM

me either

#2 - Posted by: kanecorp on November 9, 2004 04:14 PM

Read it. Left. Thought about it. Came back. Still don't get it.

Am I now a liberal?!?!

#3 - Posted by: Bob Owens on November 9, 2004 04:15 PM

I'll take a stab at it:

That famous headline declared him (Dewey) winner, but he wasn't. They are claiming Arafat alive, but he isn't.

Am I right? If I am do I win anything?

#4 - Posted by: ken n. on November 9, 2004 04:17 PM

You'd have to read what's on his toe tag to be certain.

#5 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on November 9, 2004 04:17 PM

"baby killer"?

"Ugly"?

"Decomposing"?

"Do we arafat" I dn get it....

Mongo no like

#6 - Posted by: Mongo on November 9, 2004 04:23 PM

Is the decimal system named after him? I guess I don't get it either. Hey Frank that's not funny. Are you losing your powers? Perhaps the flu from earlier?

A quick infusion of some Zatoichi and HBO comedy specials should fix you good. (And have your mom give you some chicken soup for good measure.)

#7 - Posted by: Risasi on November 9, 2004 04:25 PM

Well, I'll be damned.

Who'da thunk it?

#8 - Posted by: Sticky B on November 9, 2004 04:28 PM

Uhhgh. Mongo no like. Riddle make Mongo angry. Mongo crush! Raarrrgh! Fear Mongo!

#9 - Posted by: Beo on November 9, 2004 04:29 PM

"Pathetic human race. Arranging their knowledge by category just made it easier to absorb. Dewey, you fool! Your decimal system has played right into my hands! WAHAHAHAHAHA!"

#10 - Posted by: Beo on November 9, 2004 04:31 PM

"The big brain am winning again! I am the GREETEST! Now I am leaving Earth for NO RAISIN!"

#11 - Posted by: Beo on November 9, 2004 04:35 PM

Dewey Wins! Arafat's Dead!

It's the now he is now he isn't news reporting like Ken N says.

#12 - Posted by: DougL on November 9, 2004 04:42 PM

Kerry Winning! Ooops, no Bush won!

Is his middle name Gillete? Schick? Irish Spring?

#13 - Posted by: EffinNewGuy on November 9, 2004 04:54 PM

Dewey, the kid who eats paste. Naturally.

#14 - Posted by: a2ndlife on November 9, 2004 04:56 PM


I thought his middle name was
IHateIsraelis... as in: (singing)

Yassir IHateIsraelis
No sir, I don't mean maybe.

#15 - Posted by: right on November 9, 2004 04:56 PM

I thought it was Ibhab. Pronounced EEBOB.

#16 - Posted by: John on November 9, 2004 05:05 PM

C'mon folks, that's a danged funny middle name for him. I laughed.

My question is, When little Yassir Dewey Arafat did something he wasn't supposed to, did his mom yell at him using his first, middle, and last name like my mom did?

Depending on how you took that last sentence,

A) No, my mom didn't yell at Yassir Dewey Arafat when he was a kid. Although had she done so, maybe he would have turned out better.

B) No, my mom didn't call me Yassir Dewey Arafat when she yelled at me. She used my name. And I turned out just fine (except for my poor grammatical skills and a compulsion to explain myself).

"YASSIR DEWEY ARAFAT, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, stop extorting money from the neighbor kids! They all KNOW you're not really going to get them a playground of their own!"

"YASSIR DEWEY ARAFAT, I told you twenty minutes ago to come wash up for dinner! STOP shooting at that Jewish kid, PUT the rifle down, and GET IN HERE! You can finish what you're doing later!"

"YASSIR DEWEY ARAFAT, take that bomb belt off the dog THIS INSTANT! That's one of the good bomb belts, and we're saving them for our guests!"

#17 - Posted by: Dave in Ohio on November 9, 2004 05:11 PM

His Brothers Hewey and Lewey Arafat are really going to miss him.

#18 - Posted by: rightwingduck on November 9, 2004 05:45 PM

right wing duck that is some funny stuff right there. Your my new personal hero.

#19 - Posted by: monkey on November 9, 2004 06:31 PM

If you're really curious, here is his real name:

Mohammed Yasser Abdul-Ra'ouf Qudwa Al-Husseini

And for the record, he wasn't even born in what was then called "Palestine." He was born in Cairo, Egypt.

As for the name change, you know those cwazy arab muslims. Just can't live with what they were given. %-?

#20 - Posted by: kevkersey on November 9, 2004 06:52 PM

Maybe it's a pun: "Yes sir! Do we have it?"

#21 - Posted by: Just John on November 9, 2004 07:42 PM

"And for the record, he wasn't even born in what was then called "Palestine." He was born in Cairo, Egypt."

...which is to say, "Greater Israel". Bwah-hah-hah...

BTW, his middle name is "Thasmabebbe".

#22 - Posted by: Andrew S. on November 9, 2004 07:50 PM

I don't get it either. On the bright side though: Arafat will die soon. I do hope it's painful.

#23 - Posted by: Neo-con Samurai on November 9, 2004 08:25 PM

Yes Sir! Do we hear a fart?

At least that the best I can do with it.

#24 - Posted by: Jason Bontrager on November 9, 2004 08:51 PM

Jason, Not bad!! I get it!

#25 - Posted by: jonag on November 10, 2004 12:09 AM

I just remember years ago on Johnny Carson doing the Amazing Kreskin he held up the envelope and said "Yasser Arafat" and the question was: "The sound of Dolly Parton removing her bra."

#26 - Posted by: Mark on November 10, 2004 01:22 AM

I don't think it's Dewey. I think it's Moore - "Yasser Moore Arafat"!

#27 - Posted by: chesspatzer on November 10, 2004 09:32 AM

I always thought his middle name was "That's mah baby! No, sir, I don't mean maybe!" It has a nice ring, no? Yassir That's mah baby! No, sir, I don't mean maybe! Arafat

#28 - Posted by: LCVRWC on November 10, 2004 10:38 AM
