As for clones in general, I think we need to clone Mel Gibson and Pierce Brosnan for starters. (Dibs)
Ladies?
Gentlemen?
Yeah we need to clone a few more of those, too. But it's meant as an invitation not a statement; all you literal-ies.

Actually, Betsy, one can make Eau de Clone by combining two identical hydrogen molecules with one oxygen molecule, and - bang! you've got water! Chemists invented cloning!

"Just say 'no' to okra"

I used to like okra in chicken gumbo soup, but haven't had it for years. My wife hated the slimy consistency of it. Is that what makes the rest of you dislike it?

Grits is just one more type of cooked cereal, OK, but not a gourmet treat.

The only thing I had trouble with was "Philadelphia scrapple" I had to force myself to remember what my mother taught me about being polite when served that.

Did you hear the one about the priest who had a clone made of himself? The clone, however, turned out to be completely evil. To make a long story short, the priest felt incredibly guilty and decided he had to rid the world of this clone, so he took the clone out to a cliff and pushed him off. He then turned himself in to the police and was charged with ... making an obscene clone fall!

I like these:

Are the pope and his clone both infallible? What if they disagree
about something?

Can you clone Alan Greenspan, or does it have to be LIVING tissue?

If Larry King clones himself and interviews himself on his show,
wouldn't that pretty much make nuclear war something we could all look
forward to?

If I have sex with my clone, will I go blind?

If the DNA from the bloody glove were cloned and produced a baby O.J.
Simpson, then could we maybe get an actual guilty verdict?

If Hare Krishnas start cloning themselves, how will the rest of us
find out?

If you cloned Henry IV, would he be Henry V or Henry IV Jr. or wait,
Henry IV part II?

If Michael Jackson is cloned, is it against the law for him to play
with himself as a child?

If I have sex with my clone, will I go blind?

Anna, you are one cool grits!

Hmmm.... Interesting that no men have chimed in. So much for the theory that men are visually stimulated more than women!

Now, for all us unattatched men, will one of you please start a clonely hearts club? I'll take poet Diane Ackerman or religious historian Elaine Pagels. At least with them, once the" whoopie" is done for the moment, we'll have something to say to each other.

At the moment?? Momentarily?

But since Bill never posted his joke in the previous context of a thread that had drifted onto "French" and "condoms", I do so here.

An American in Paris attempting to buy a black hat made the mistake of asking for "capottes noirs". The clerk asked him why he wanted black ones, he replied that his wife was dead.
"Ah", exclaimed the clerk, "Quelle delicatesse!"

I used to belong to an organization that advocated using bicycles as transportation, viewing bikes as the future, and cars as dinasaurs. The City of Portland was having a transportation fair, and asked the bike people to help park automobiles. One of our members then quipped, "We've been assigned to Jurassic parking."

And as for those remarks about having something to do besides the "whoopie" -- Harrison is an excellent carpenter -- he earned a good living at carpentry before hitting big in the movies. A very handy man to have around. And if you need a carpenter, well, Harrison Ford is a great choice for a "handy man!"
