Two spacemen landed on a planet, left their vehicle and searched for signs of life. Suddenly there appeared what looked like a ball of weeds--but with an eye within, staring at them. "Can you speak?" they asked. "Yes," it replied."I am a FURRY." Take us to your leader, "they asked." Into a cave they went, seeing within hundreds of these
"furrys>" All looked alike except one, twice the size of the others, sitting on a pillow,with a hypodermic needle-shaped item on its top.
"Are you the leader?" the men asked.
"No" replied the odd "furry."
"I'M THE FURRY WITH THE SYRINGE ON TOP."

Two guys from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan die and wake up in Hell. The next day the Devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats warming themselves around the fire. The Devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?" The guys reply,"Vell, ya know, we're from nordern Michigan, the land and of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, ya know." The Devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat.The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still dressed in parkas, hats and mittens. The Devil asks them again, "Its awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel that?"
Again the two guys reply, "Vell, like we told you yesterday, we're from nordern Michigan, the land of snow and ice ! and cold.We're just happy for a chance to warm up a vee bit, ya know."
This gets the Devil quite steamed so he decides to fix the two guys.He cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The people are wailing and screaming every where. He stops by the room with the two guys from Michigan and finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling walleye and drinking beer. The Devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in abject misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourself."
The two Michiganders reply, "Vell, ya know, we don't get too much varm weather up dere in da UP, we've just got to have a fish fry when the veather's this nice."

Years later, the woman began a search for her sons and learned one of them was living with a family in Madrid and the other had been adopted by a family in Cairo. The woman then met a man who knew both boys and was able to provide addresses. But she became distraught when she realized the price of passage to the two cities would be far beyond her means; she could only afford the trip to Spain. But the man comforted her. "Not to worry," he said. "If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amahl."
