Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Gower Champion were sharing a limousine to MGM.

A short distance from the studio, however, they found to their dismay that a bridge they needed to cross had collapsed, leaving them across a fast-flowing river from the studio.

Undeterred, Fred declared, "We're dancers! We'll *dance* across!" Having spoken, he gathered himself, spun around a couple of times, and nimbly danced across the surface of the river.

Gene agreed, "Good idea Fred!" He jumped up, and also danced across the surface of the water.

Gower Champion said to himself, "What Fred and Gene can do, I can do too!" So he took a deep breath, and jumped out onto the water- and promptly sank. Not wanting to lose out, he climbed out, took another deep breath, leaped- and promptly sank again.

Across the river, Fred and Gene watched as Gower kept falling in and climbing out and falling in. Finally, Gene turned to Fred and said, "Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"

And Fred looked at Gene, puzzled, and said, "What stones?!"

A guy walks into a bar with an infant under one arm and a piece of pavement under the other.

The bartender looks at the guy, at his infant and at the pavement for a bit and then finally says, "What'll ya have?"
