Edited on Mon Nov-23-09 02:34 PM by Yavapai
HEADLINE: "Oakland Police are "cracking" down on speeders. For the first offense, they give you two Raiders tickets.
(If you get stopped a second time, they give you four Raider Tickets.)"
Q. What do you call 47 millionaires sitting around a TV watching the Super Bowl?
A. The Oakland Raiders.
Q. What do the Raiders and Billy Graham have in common?
A. They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell "Jesus Christ".
Q. How do you keep the Raiders out of your yard?
A. Put up a goal post.
Q. Where do you go in Oakland in case of a tornado?
A. To the Coliseum -- they never have a touchdown there!
Q. What do you call a Raider with a Super Bowl ring?
A. Senior Citizen
Q. What's the difference between the Raiders and a dollar bill?
A. You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.
Q. How many Raiders does it take to win a Super Bowl?
A. We may never find out in the 21st century.
Q. What do the Raiders and opossums have in common?
A. Both play dead at home and get killed on the road.
