Sometimes, I hear a joke or read a funny story that makes me laugh out loud. It can be a funny greeting card, a comedian on the TV, or perhaps a comment from one of my many editors.
This being said, I have decided to spend the day telling you some of my favorite jokes, and to encourage readers to send in their favorites.
I say some, because I have a lot of favorite jokes, but some are not quite the cleanest…but here goes.
Since none of these are original. I’ll start with a Rodney Dangerfield line:
Normal people are just people you don’t know very well…
Or how about the obligatory insurance joke:
A woman was in the hospital after feeling very ill. The doctor says to her, "I have some bad news for you. You only have three months to live."
"Oh that's terrible," the woman sighs, "What am I going to do?"
The doctor replies, "Marry an insurance agent."
"Will I live longer?" asks the woman.
"No," replies the doctor, "but it will SEEM longer."
I like set-up jokes. For example, during the holidays, you find a lot of people talking about their weight. I will let these conversations go on for awhile and in a matter-of-fact way, I will interject:
‘Hey, I know how you can lose ten pounds of ugly fat…cut off your head.’
OR
You’re at work and the chatter turns to music. I will use this situation to fit in this little gem…
‘Hey, I was watching a special last night on Stevie Wonder. Do you know who he is?” (Yes)
What a great special. Have YOU ever seen his house? (No)
Neither has he…

Children were called upon in a classroom to make sentences with words chosen by the teacher. The teacher smiled when Jack raised his hand to participate. She gave him the words 'defeat,' 'deduct,' 'defense,' and 'detail.' Jack stood seriously for a while with all eyes focused on him awaiting his reply:
''Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail!''

Q: What is the difference between an orange?
A: A monkey, because a vest has no sleeves.
OK, I have lived in the land of Boeing (life surrounded by these left yet right brained aeronautical engineers) and they come up with stuff like that. Actually quite funny. Don't outthink the question...
best,
