***Warning - this one is a real groaner!***

It was back in the old days and my friend was into this new age wisdom and spirituality and stuff. Well, one day he heard of this special guru who knew the meaning of life in the universe, so my friend drove from Blairstown to the airport in Newark and caught a plane to India.

When the plane landed in India he took a train. When the train got to the end of its track he got off and rented a jeep. He drove the jeep to the foothills of the mountains and borrowed a donkey. He rode the donkey until the donkey could go no further and then walked up the mountain to the guru's cave. He entered the cave and he told the guru that he had come to find the meaning of life in the universe.

The guru said that the meaning of life in the universe was mushrooms.

At first my friend was confused but the more the he thought about it the more of his questions were answered by mushrooms. My friend ran out of the cave and down the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain he got back on to the donkey and rode the donkey to the jeep.

He drove the jeep to the train and took the train to the plane. He took the plane to Newark and drove his car from Newark to Blairstown. My friend told all his friends that the meaning to life in the universe was mushrooms!

But they said no and he could not answer any of their other questions, so he decided that mushrooms were not the meaning of life in the universe. So he drove from Blairstown to Newark airport and caught a plane to India. When the plane landed in India he took a train as far as it would go.

When the train got to the end of its track he got off and rented a jeep and he drove the jeep to the foothills of the mountains and borrowed a donkey. He rode the donkey until the donkey could go no further and then walked up the mountain to the guru's cave.

He entered the cave and he told the guru that the meaning to life in the universe was NOT mushrooms.

The guru said, "Well then it must be turnips."
