Sorry, it's probably not funny because you don't know the persons or situation he is poking fun at.

I've always found Woody Allen to be a bit over rated on the funny meter. He has had a few good moments but isn't his 15 minutes up yet?

Answer 2

It's not a comedy. It's a tragedy; the lost generation was the nickname for a group of intellectuals who left America for France after being disillusioned by World War I (i.e. the Great War). That group included Hemingway, and was primarily writers who liked to drink (not a bad thing).

Answer 3

There was a gentleman living in a small village who unfortunately had a stomach disorder that required him to drink the milk of a nursing mother. Well there weren't too many women in the village nursing babies and even fewer who would agree to allow a grown man to suck on their breast. But low and behold, the poor man finally found a rather buxom young girl who recently had given birth who was willing to help him out -- for a price. The man was desperate because his condition was growing worse, so he agreed to pay the woman the amount of money she demanded. After all, the woman had a new born baby to care for and the father had abandoned them to their fate.

The first day was a bit awkward as the man showed up and, with a bit of anxiety and embarrassment, leaned over and began to suck on the woman's breast. Well weeks went by and the awkwardness began to fade.

One day, the woman realized that the man's sucking was beginning to arouse her sexually. It became almost unbearable and finally, in a sensuous voice,she said, "Is there anything else you'd like?"

The man paused in his sucking for a moment and looked up at her. "Yeah,"he said finally. "Can I have a cookie with my milk?"
