Old Glory and Grandfather Crucifix by Herschel Sternlieb
Old Glory and Grandfather Crucifix were in an emergency room at Saint Chauvinist Hospital awaiting treatment.
"What 's the matter with you?" asked Old Glory.
"I think I 'm coming down with Alzheimers, " answered Crucifix. "Can 't remember what I 'm supposed to stand for, smacking someone or turning the other cheek, believing in Jesus or believing what Jesus believed. And you?"
"Got the same problem," concurred Old Glory. " Can 't remember if I stand for capitalism or the Constitution, free enterprise or the four freedoms."
Immediately they were ushered in to be examined by Doctor Jingo who prescribed arch supports.
"You gotta be kidding,". they protested. "How 's that gonna help us?"
The doctor patted them both on the back as he escorted them to the door, "Just relax boys, no need for anxiety. It doesn 't matter what you stand for, so long as you keep standing."
