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!
