| Santa: `I have one of the most intelligent cats in the world.` Banta: `What does it do?` Santa: `Watch me pretend to shoot it. Bang! You are dead!` Banta: `But the cat did not do anything- he is still just licking his paws.` Santa: `That is what I mean about him being intelligent: he knew he was not dead." |
| Banta showed his palm to a palmist. He examined the lines on Banta`s hand and said, `A beautiful girl will come into your life, but be very careful.` `Why should I have to be careful?` Banta retorted. She should be careful of her life. I drive a Redline bus!.` |
| Santa & Banta were sitting on the bank of a river in Africa, dangling their feet in the water. Suddenly Banta let out a yell and the Santa said: `What is the matter?` The Banta replied: `A crocodile has just bitten off one of my feet!` `Which one?` Santa asked. `What does it matter?` Banta replied, `those crocodiles all look alike to me.` |
| A man passing an orchard noticed Banta with a herd of pigs gathered around his feet. Banta was holding a pig up above his shoulder so it could bite off an apple. Then, he put the pig down and raised another, then another. The passerby shouted to Banta: "Why don`t you just shake the tree and let the apples fall on the ground? That would save a lot of time." Banta responded, "What do pigs care about time?" |
