JOKES! That’s it! I love jokes. I love joking…..I’m always joking. A joker, that’s me.
In fact, I come from a long line of folks who joke.
Here’s one my brother always used to tell when he was a kid:
“Two little boys were sitting on a fence and one said to the other one, ‘Oh, you’re so dumb you don’t even know George Washington is dead,’ and the other one said ‘Dead? I didn’t even know he was sick.'” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA……..hilarious! He told that joke about a kajillion times.
Jokes can be good, bad, corny, dirty, pithy, long or short. Here’s a one-liner: A mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says, hey get outta here, we don’t serve mushrooms and the mushroom says Why not, I’m a fungi.
Jokes and jokers have been around for thousands of years. The Emperor Augustus, for instance, was quite the funster. Here’s one of his: a nervous man was trying to give him a petition and kept drawing his hand back. So Augustus quipped, “Do you think you’re giving a penny to an elephant?” I don’t get it but who would NOT laugh at Caesar Augustus, right?
What goes Ha, ha, thump? A guy laughing his head off.
You got your blonde jokes, your knock knock jokes, your political jokes…..well, that’s a no brainer.
Stay joking, my friends! And I’m not kidding!
Joyful….thinking of when I gave birth to my kids, the birth of a grandchild (my middle daughter due any day 🙂 and “Joyful, Joyful we adore Thee”, “Joy to the world”. And the Joy of seeing friends and loved ones. On the topic of jokes, I happened to open to #1997 from the book “2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said” and this quote is from Roseanne Barr “Women are cursed, and men are the proof” and whoever Jules Feiffer is #1991 “I grew up to have my father’s looks, my father’s speech patterns, my father’s posture, my father’s opinions, and my mother’s contempt for my father” LOL and #1818 “I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception” by Groucho Marx

My favorite joke remains, “Why was 6 afraid of 7? …Because 7 8 9! 😀 ” I try to tell this one to my students but they don’t get it. And when I explain it I get some uneasy chuckles, and that’s it. 😦
