The Trifecta- Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your One-Liners Edition

Greetings, race fans! Time once again for the Trifecta. This week sees all three NASCAR series in action as well as IndyCar.

But first, the Beagle needs your help. Our church's puppet ministry is doing a show September 11. One of our acts is a Carnac the Magnificent type routine called The Great Paulini. Paulini (who is in 5th grade) needs new jokes (Hanny already provided us with several good ones via Facebook). Paulini's sidekick is an 8' anaconda puppet who goes into violent convulsions at the mere mention of Adam & Eve, the Garden of Eden, apples, or St. Patrick (paging Dr. Valus). So this week- along with your driver picks- hit me with your best question and answer type jokes- NO POLITICS PLEASE .

Example: The answer is Joan of Arc. The question is "What was the name of Noah's wife?"

Now back to business:
