Mideast Peace Hard Nut to Crack

    "C'mon, man," said the thumb, "take the damn thing!"

            "What is it?" the squirrel wondered. "Some kind of trick?"

            "No! It's a nut!"

            "I usually bury mine."

            "That's ridiculous!

            "Really? Where do you think this board came from?

            "I got it at the lumber store."

            "No, you fool, it came from the acorn I planted."

            "Wait a minute! I nailed it! You don't own it!"

            "This is my land. My people were here before you."

            "You're a squirrel! You don't have a deed!"

            "You're a big thumb! I could bite right now, if I wanted."

            "Go for it! I'll take the board back!"

            "You won't have a fence."

            "Neither will you."
