Arguably, lawyer jokes could be termed political jokes since in the 2004 presidential election one ticket is 100% lawyer and the other is 100% non-lawyer. So I will refrain from lawyer jokes just to keep my nose clean.

My father-in-law tells this one, which is funny to me since my generation must have been the last to have made marriage obligatory to fellas whose dalliances results in pregnancy. But it falls like a turd to a goodly portion of the current generation. Halfway through telling it to two people whom I dearly love and who gave me my only grandchild, I realized what I was doing. The joke dropped, they didn't get it, didn't think it was funny, and couldn't understand why I then apologized to them. So the real joke was on me.

Anyway, here goes. And I apologize once again to those of you who saw it when I posted it on the OTHER joke thread.


An 80 year old man went to the doctor.

Doc says: "You're in remarkably good shape for a man of your age. To what do you attribute your fine physical condition?"

Man says: "Turkey hunting."

Doc says: "That's amazing! Did your pa teach you to hunt turkeys?"

Man says: "Yep."

Doc says: "I'll bet he lived to a ripe old age. How old was he when he died?"

Man says: "Who says pap died?"

Doc says: "You mean he's still alive? Amazing! Does he still hunt turkeys?"

Man says: "Yep. Went huntin' today and got a nice tom."

Doc says: "There must be a genetic factor in this somewhere. Did your grandpa teach your pa to hunt turkeys?"

Man says: "Yep."

Doc says: "Amazing! How old was your grandpa when he died?"

Man says: "Who says grandpap is dead?"

Doc says: "You mean he's still alive? I suppose you're going to tell me that he went turkey hunting with you today.

Man says: "Nope."

Doc says: "Why not."

Man says: "He was in church gettin' married."

Doc says: "Gettin' married! How old IS he?"

Man says: "118."

Doc says: "Now why in God's name would a 118 year old man want to get married?"

Man says: "Who says he wanted to get married?"
