Ok, I'm chiming in...
From my friend the psychologist --
Irritation, aggravation, and frustration
A boy asks his father to explain the differences among
irritation, aggravation, and frustration.
Dad picks up the phone and dials a number at random. When
the phone is answered he asks, "Can I speak to Alf, please?"
"No! There's no one called Alf here." The person hangs up.
"That's irritation," says Dad.
He picks up the phone again, dials the same number and asks
for Alf a second time.
"No -- there's no one here called Alf. Go away. If you call
again I shall telephone the police."
"That's aggravation."
"Then what's 'frustration'?" asks his son.
The father picks up the phone and dials a third time:
"Hello, this is Alf. Have I received any phone calls?"

Texan at Niagra Falls
A Texan, complete with boots and cowboy hat, was standing admiring the
beauty of the Niagra Falls. A fellow from New York sarcastically
commented, "I'll bet you don't have anything like this in Texas".
"No," drawled the Texan without even glancing at the arrogant New
Yorker, "but we've got plumbers who could fix it!"
****************************************************
Three elderly ladies are sitting in a diner, chatting about various
things.
One lady says, 'You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning,
I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down.'
The second lady says, 'You think that's bad? The other day, I was
sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to bed or had just woken up!'
The third lady smiles smugly. 'Well, my memory's just as good as it's
always been, knock on wood.' She raps the table.
With a startled look on her face, she asks, 'Who's there?'

The Summit
Current Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, goes by the nickname "Bibi". His wife, in contrast to most Israeli "first ladies", plans to take a more activist role in her country's affairs.
Thus, it would be appropriate when the first summit conference is held between Israel and the PLO to have Mrs. Netanyahu introduce her husband to the PLO leader Arafat by saying, "Yasir, that's my Bibi"
I know, I should have warned you!
