Please don't waste the thread's time with lame jokes. And if you insist, please make sure they are funny. To save space, and valuable reasearch time, we might try and institute a "Punchline Only" rule. For example, ending your post with JUST the punchline from whatever joke you think is so original that none of us has heard it a hundred times since the fifth grade. Or, limit humourous observational stuff to relevent current events. Examples: Opra is getting sued again. Apparently she made a remark the other day durring an interview where she said "I would'nt eat at Denny's either--the food tastes like crap." A defamation suit has been filed seeking damages of 100 million dollars...by the people who make crap. (You see what I did there? I wove humor into a current event. take a lesson.) This is like Mike Tyson always cries after sex. Why? The PEPPER SPRAY!!! LOL!!! Everyone has heard about the trial of "the military's top enlisted man" on trial for sexual harrassment. It was alleged, that " he verbally pressured females into having sex with him." And that worked? I'm gonna buy his book. What are they gonna charge him with next? Standing to pee? You see how this is done? Any joke that your dad used to tell you or the guy who lubes your car has to offer is probably the same stuff that couldnt make it into mainstream entertainment. Why? Because its not funny. So, instead of "little Johnny" jokes, lets limit our humor entries to just the punchlines--hell--we KNOW the set ups already! This will let everyone get nostalgic over those bygone days, and save reasearch time as well. Matt Black, professional comic & investor. P.S. ...so her Dad says to the guy: "thanks for bringing her home--the other guys just left her hanging in the tree!" LOL! (you see what I did there? Just trying to help.)
