    If you’ve ever been to Washington DC, you’d know there’s no definition on how high a hill should be (Capitol Hill).

    A man gets pulled over by a cop for driving with a rhino in his car.

    “Sir, are you aware that driving with a rhino in your car is illegal?” The cop said.

    The man looks bewildered. “Really? I had no clue!”

    “I’ll let you off this time, but only if you promise to take it straight to the zoo.” said the cop.

    The man agrees and the cop lets him go.

    A week later the cop spots the same man driving with the same rhino in his car. “Didn’t I tell you to take this rhino straight to zoo?” asks the cop.

    “I sure did officer,” the man replies. “We had a great time, this week we’re going to the movies.”

    It’s a mountain if at the top you can look down at natural clouds. Don’t google that, I made it up. Let’s see how it flies.

    William Shatner took a short sub-orbital flight at the age of 90 October 13, 2021. I guess Jeff Bezos wanted to amuse Trekkies all around the world.

    If Jack and Jill can climb it, it’s a hill. If they can’t, it’s a mountain.

    In my youth I checked my dictionary for ‘Hill.’ It said “Low mountain.” I then looked up ‘Mountain.’ It said, “High hill.” True story but I don’t remember who printed the dictionary, Webster’s, Colliers, or Cunk & Wagner.

    Why are mountains so funny?

    To summit up: it’s because they’re always high. … They always have a solid base for their jokes and it’s hill-areas all around.

    In some languages there is only one word for “hill” or "mountain. They tend to be in rather flat countries.
