	There's the joke about the talking jackass. There was this guy
walking throught the desert with his talking jackass. The jackass was
getting very thirsty, but his master would never give him any water.
Every time they stopped at a watering hole the Jackass would say "Master,
when can I have some water?" and  the guy always says "Be patient Jackass,
be patient."
	Basically you keep repeating the bit about the watering hole until
someone finally asks you when the joke is going to end and you say
"Be patient, Jackass, be patient!"
