The Fools on the Desert

The Fools on the Desert

Three fools, fatty, skinny and john, were just getting put of prison. This jailhouse was located in the middle of a very hot, dry desert. As they were leaving, they were told they could bring one thing with them to help them cross the arid region.

“what would you like to take with you?” a guard asked John.

“I know the desert is very hot and dry, so i’d like a glass of water to drink when i get thirsty,” answered John

“That was a reasonable request.” The guard gave him a cool glass of water and then John walked out in to desert.

“And what would you like?” ask the guard.

“well,” replied Skinny, “I know the sun is very hot in the desert, so i’d like an umbrella to keep the sun off me.”

This wish was also granted. After that, Skinny walked out in to the desert with his umbrella.

It was now fatty’s turn to be questioned. When the guard asked him what he wanted, Fatty said, “I’d like a car door, please”

“A car door! Why would you want a car door to carry across the desert?” the guard inquired.

“I believe it’s very hot in the desert. If it gets too hot, I’ll just open the Window!”.
