We need to get something going here on this web site before it gathers dust. How about let's see who can tell the best joke. A joke that is their favorite. Only rule is it has to be clean or mostly clean. Whatever.
Here's mine.
It turns out that Bob Hope told this at Purdue in 1957 when I was there and he was giving a talk. Hope was talking about how much he flies and how many close calls he had. He said that when the weather is bad or the plane is in trouble he gets no assurance from the stewardess coming over the sound system and saying how qualified the pilot is. Telling about his combat experience, and how many times he has crashed landed, and about his other exploits in the military. Hope said what he would like to hear her say is that the pilot's 65th birthday is today and that he recently married a 30 year old beauty queen and she just talked with him on the radio and told him she had a special birthday present for him when he landed. Hope said, "Now that guy is going to be careful."

Warren, can the joke be of a Kentucky origin? :-) Would that be breaking a rule?

Hey, Kentucky jokes are welcome. Where I live, right on the Ohio, it is a legal and most appropriate. Like, why did the Kentuckians drown crossing the Ohio River in their pickup? They couldn't get the tail gate down. Stuff like that.

There was a farmer and his wife out in the barnyard gathering up chickens. Everytime the Farmer's wife bent over to gather a chicken she would expel flatus. Now this happened several times. Finally the Farmer said to his wife..."That's ok honey...if you can't catch'em, then shoot'em!"

A Washington Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane leaving from Seattle when he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the total stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the congressman. 'How about global warming or universal health care'. and he smiles smugly.

OK, ' she said. 'Those could be interesting topics. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do yousuppose that is?'

The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming or universal health care when you don't know s***?

A man was charged with killing his wife. His lawyer visited him at jail to gather information. The following conversation occurred.

Attorney: Have you ever been charged with a crime.

Client: I was arrested twice before for murdering my first two wives, but the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.

Attorney: How did your first two wives die?

Client: From eating poison mushrooms.

Attorney: How did this wife die?

Client: She was hit in the head with a hammer.

Attorney: Did you hit her?

Client: I had a hammer in my hand, but it slipped. It hit her but it was an accident.

Attorney: Why were you standing next to her with a hammer to begin with?

Client: Well, you see, she wouldn't eat her mushrooms.

One day a florist went to a Barber for a haircut.

After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the Barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the Barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the Barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the Barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the Barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the Barber went to open up, there were a dozen
Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and the politicians who run it

Excersize for people over 40 - works for me

For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building your arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this Three days a week.

Begin by standing straight, with a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand.
Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can - try to reach a full minute. Relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB potato sacks, and then
50-LB potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-LB potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in the bags.

A young woman runs through the front door of the City General Hospital. She finds the duty nurse at the front desk and exclaims, “I need to see an Upturn!”

The dumbfounded nurse thinks over the request and replies, “Miss, you must want to see an Intern.”

The upset young woman then demands, “Well, I want to go to the fraternity ward!”

The harried nurse responds, “You must mean the maternity ward.”

The anxious young woman says, “Whatever, I need a contamination.”

The patient nurse is getting the hang of the verbal confusion and answers, “Madam, you want an examination.”

By this time the irritated young woman screams at the nurse, “Upturn or Intern, Fraternity or Maternity, Contamination or Examination!! All I know is that I haven’t demonstrated for three months and I think I’m stagnant!!”

This boy finally gets a date with this gorgous blond girl. They go to the amusement park, ride the Ferris wheel and the roller coaster. He buys her a hot dog and a Coke, and they sit and talk. Then he asks her what she wants to do next and she says "I want to get weighed." So, ok, thinks the boy and they go to the weighing machine and she gets weighed and the card says 110 pounds.

Next, they go on several more rides, and again sit down and he asks her what she wants to do next, and she says "I want to get weighed." Well, ok, thinks the boy again,and back to the weighing machine. She gets weighed. 110 lbs.

He now buys her some popcorn and a Coke and they go back and sit down on a bench. After awhile he asks her what she wants to do now. She says "I want to get weighed."

Now the boy thinks, she's weird, and takes her home.

The girl goes into her house and her Mother asks, "How was your evening?"

Girl: "Wousy!"

I am disappointed at the lack of follow-up on the "Ed Zachary Disease"... not everyone could have heard it... could they?
Anyway I went to my oriental doctor for a diagnosis of my serious physical-social disorder. His opinion was that my face looked "Ed Zachary" like my backside.

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
The day finally arrived.. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He
is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates
are
closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, 'Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We
have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is
filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination
for
everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can
get
into Heaven.'
Forrest responds, 'It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But
nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test
ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was.'
St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three
questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?'
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day
and
sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, 'Now that you have had a
chance
to think the questions over, tell me your answers.' Forrest replied,
'Well, the first one -- which two days in the week
begins with the letter 'T'? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be
Today and Tomorrow.'
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, 'Forrest, that is not
what
I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not
specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the
next
one?' asked St. Peter.
'How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder,' replied Forrest,
'but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be
twelve.' Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in
Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?'
Forrest
replied, 'Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd.... '
'Hold it,' interrupts St. Peter. 'I see where you are going with
this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in
mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us
go on
with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name'?
'Sure,' Forrest replied, 'it's Andy.' 'Andy?' exclaimed an exasperated
and frustrated St Peter. 'Ok, I can understand how you came up with
your
answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you
come
up with the name Andy as the first name of God?' 'Shucks, that was the
easiest one of all,' Forrest replied. 'I learnt it from the song,
ANDY
WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.' St.
Peter
opened the Pearly Gates, and said: 'Run, Forrest, run.'

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in Real distress.

One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'

The woman shakes her head no.

Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.

As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.

His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.

Glad you got a laugh or two Donna. Hey, we have to laugh once in awhile.
Two good Irishman, O'Riley and Callahan met every evening at the local pub for a drink of some good Irish whiskey. One evening they decided that when one of them died the other would pour the best Irish whiskey money could buy on the other's grave. So they bought a $300 bottle of Irish whiskey and gave it to the barkeep to keep. Well, sure enough it wasn't long after that that O'Riley died and Callahan came in and got the whiskey.
About a week later the barkeep asked Callahan if he did the deed and he replied, "Well, not exactly. You remember that whiskey cost $300 and I dina think O'Riley would be a mind'n if I run it through me kidneys first."
