July 29, 200520 yr Ah, I thought it was going to end with the Cubs fan coming back in the morning and saying, "That wasn't so bad; no different than every home game." Or something along those lines. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The punch line is that the Cub fan is a bigger slob than the hog I agree it needs some work
August 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) Similar joke: Cub fan walking on the beach, rubs a lantern, genie pops out and will grant him one wish. The Cub fans ponders for a moment and tells the genie, I'd like to do something that all of mankind could benefit from. Here is a map of the middle east, there is so much war there, I'd like to see peace for all in the region. The genie thinks for a moment and says, this is beyond what a humble genie can do. They have been at war for generations, it would take the biggest miracle. I can't. How about something else? Well I've been a Cub fan for a long time and I'd like to see them win a World Series? The genie thinks for a second and says, "Where's that map again?" Ryne Sandburg used this joke in his HOF speech... He told a joke about a guy who hands a map to a genie in a bottle and asks her to make peace between "the Israelis and the Palestinians'' in the Middle East. When the genie calls the task impossible, he asks her to help the Cubs win a World Series. Said Ryno Leno: "The genie looks at him, reaches out her hand and says, 'Let me have another look at that map.' '' Yes, Sandberg always will ache with the rest of Cubdom because he never reached the Series.
