I just received two jokes about the Cleveland Browns. They're pretty funny.
The first one:
Subject: Tornado
FROM THE NORTHEAST OHIO WEATHER BUREAU located in Cleveland , Ohio .
NEW TORNADO POLICY
For Cleveland and nearby areas:
In case of possible tornadoes sweeping through the greater Cleveland metro area, we ask that all residents take shelter at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
We are certain that a TOUCHDOWN will not occur there.
Thank you for your cooperation.
National Weather Bureau
The second one:
Subject: beating
Subject: Unprecedented court ruling in Cleveland, Ohio
Hope you have your box of tissues around when you read this!
Cleveland, OH (AP) - A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Cleveland courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Cleveland Browns, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone.
