The Classic Meigel Joke
Deep in Cascades of the Pacific Northwest, A cracker in snowshoes and a
wallaby in moon-boots are leaning on a snow fence. The cracker pulls icicles
out of his moustache, remembering; Hey wallaby, I just recalled seeing a

The wallaby pats a mound of snow with his tail.
Have you ever....
Snorted the scent of an Adirondack Fall?

mound, he tugged for a second, then, uh,

and I did it for you.
The wallaby was now frozen solid up to his waist. There was no possibility
of his walking home. The cracker, with a shell of ice extending down from
his moustache was finding it difficult to speak.
You’re beginning to look like an....
astronaut The cracker interjected. Stop muffthin mevethin....
Yes, a beautiful globe of ice is developing from your nose.

Seeing as how I’m not moving, and you can’t interrupt anymore, I wanted to
explain to you in detail the punchline I started earlier.
