One day, two bees are buzzing around what's left of a rose bush.

"How's your summer been?" asks bee number one.

"Not too good," says bee two. "Lotta rain, lotta cold. There aren't enough flowers, therefore not enough pollen."

The first bee has an idea. "Hey, why don't you go down to the corner and hang a left? There's a bar mitzvah going on. Plenty of flowers and fruit."

Bee two buzzes, "Thanks!" and takes off. An hour later, the bees bump into each other again.

"How was the bar mitzvah?" asks the first bee.

"Great!" replies the second.

The first bee, however, notices a small circle on his friend's head, and inquires, "What's that on your head?"

"A yarmulke," is the answer. "I didn't want them to think I was a Wasp."

Late Night humor

  • According to a new study out of Harvard, it is easier for people to be moral in the morning.

What, if we wait it could go as high as seven? - Jay Leno
  • You have to turn your clocks back this weekend. You might think you're gaining an hour, but trying to get the clock back on that nail actually makes you lose an hour. - David Letterman
