Hey Donna I guess it is just you and I with the jokes. I had to laugh at the naked cowboy. Guess no one else knows any funny stuff.
Just came back from Chicago and on my way through Indy I cut off at the Rural Street exit and took Rural to 10th Street which is near where I grew up. Sure has changed since the 50's. Lots of boarded up buildings and houses. Went down Michigan and past Tech and looks like some building going on. Glad to see Tech surviving in these days of slash and burn. Went to Shirpiros (sp) for my favorite Corn Beef on Rye. Been a long time.

Hi Warren,

Glad you like the "blond cowboy" - my niece sure did, she sent it to me. Thought some might object to it.

My husband, Clayton (class of 1951 with me) lived on 17th St just off Rural, so I know that area fairly well. I'm from Dorman St, off Michigan. Growing up I never knew how close we were to downtown; I didn't even know it existed - just me and two blocks was all there was, and of course the drugstore.

Hey, am I going to win the prize for these jokes? (don't even drink, boo hoo). I think everyone else is on Facebook or Twitter (is that the other one?) I don't have a computer, don't want one, and do my husband's typing here at public libary.

Where do you live?
We live in Virginia, Stafford County, out in the country, well sort of, at least our place is pretty secluded.

I have another joke but can't seem to send it. My niece sent it to me as a video, I told her that wouldn't do so she then sent it as an attachment but that seems difficult to copy. Will work on it; it's pretty good.

A Bus on a busy street struck a Catholic man.

He was lying near death on the sidewalk as a crowd gathered.

"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasped.

Long seconds dragged on but no one stepped out of the crowd.

A policeman checked the crowd and finally yelled, "A PRIEST, PLEASE! Isn't there a priest in this crowd to give this man his
last rites?"

Finally, out of the crowd stepped a little old Jewish man in his 80s.

"Mr. Policeman," said the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Christian. But for 50 years now, I'm living behind the Catholic
Church on Second Avenue , and every night I'm overhearing their services. I can recall a lot of it, and maybe I can be of some comfort to this poor man."

The Policeman agreed, and cleared the crowd so the man could get through to where the injured man lay.

The old Jewish man knelt down, leaned over the man and said in a solemn voice:

B-5 .... I-19 ... N-38 ... G-54 .... O-72
