I bet I've read the jigsaw blonde joke on this thread about 10 times in the past year or two, but who's counting? 2-1 odds that it's been posted at least a half dozen times. 10-1 odds 4 times or more.... (I haven't done the search so I'm guessing. The results don't go back all that many months, do they?) But then again, nobody tells it better than E!! ;-) As for reading all the posts/jokes, I haven't read all of them, only about 95% of them since I became a member 4 years ago. I'd guess 1 out of 100 are both non-repeats and seem good enough to me to spam to friends....but I guess 1 out of 100 is enough for me to keep at it. OJ In 1910 Sammy Cohen is in line at immigration and Hymie Schwartz asks him for a good name to pick. Sammy tells him to try John Jones--that that's a good American name. Years later Sammy runs into Hymie and says, "Don't I know you from somewhere--oh yeah- you were in line at immigration. What's your name again?" "I'm Shane Fergusun." "Shane Ferguson? Now I remember-you were Hymie Schwartz and were supposed to pick John Jones as your name! How did it get to be Shane Ferguson?" "Well, when it got to be my turn, I couldn't for the life of me remember John Jones, so I hit myself on the forehead and yelled, "Shay en fergessen! ["I forget or forgot" in Yiddish]" and the clerk wrote it down as my name."

You make me feel better. But so as not to be OT, I'll post the other joke that came in my email with the frosted flakes one. Even though it's not particularly funny. A Texan, a Russian and a New Yorker go into a restaurant in London. The waiter says, "Excuse me, but if you wanted the steak you might not get one as there is a shortage." The Texan said, "What's a shortage?" The Russian said, "What's a steak?" The New Yorker said, "What's excuse me?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I searched for this one using steak, Russian and shortage, and it said it was okay, but it's hard to believe, since I'd heard it before.
