Pasadena Husker Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Might not belong here, but a little light humor that is appropriate for today and the season. Only Nebraskans will truly understand the humor here. The year is 2024 and the United States has just elected the first woman as President of the United States. A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father in Omaha and asks, "So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration? "I don't think so. It's a long drive; your mom isn't as young as she used to be, we'll have the dog with us, and my arthritis is acting up in my knee." "Don't worry about it, Dad, I'll send Air Force One or another support aircraft to pick you up and take you home, and a limousine will pick you up at your door," she said. "I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?" "Oh, Dad," she replied, "I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by one of the best designers in New York ." "Honey," Dad complained, "You know we can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat." The President-elect responded, "Don't worry, Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in D.C. And I'll ensure your meals are salt-free. Dad, I really want you to come." So her parents reluctantly agreed, and on January 20, 2024 arrived to see their daughter sworn in as President of the United States. The parents of the new President are seated in the front row. The President's dad sees that a Senator is sitting next to him and leans over and whispers, "You see that woman up there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?" The Senator whispered in reply, "Yes, sir, I sure do." Dad says proudly, "Her brother played football at Nebraska". 6 Quote Link to comment

huskerstuckinmichigan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 That's awesome!!! My wife and I got married in 97, she wanted a fall wedding so I gave her two dates to choose from. Of course, they were Nebraska's bye weeks, got to have priorities. My mother in law has never forgiven me for that, of course they are from Michigan. Quote Link to comment

funhusker Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Interesting question: 'would you rather have your son(s) start 4 years for the Huskers, or be President for 4 years?' Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Interesting question: 'would you rather have your son(s) start 4 years for the Huskers, or be President for 4 years?' That's tough. Football would run the risk of him getting brain damage, for the other, brain damage seems to be a prerequisite. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. 2 Quote Link to comment
