  <description><![CDATA[Let's get this section going, guys.&nbsp; With the economy on the brink and all the sad news in the papers (and I'm not just talking obituaries), we could use a joke or two.&nbsp; How about it?&nbsp; If you pick up a joke from cyberspace or a book, please cite your source.&nbsp; But nothing is stopping you from inventing one. <img src="/WorkArea/threadeddisc/emoticons/happy.png" />

  <description><![CDATA[<P>Here's one I received by email yesterday: </P> <P>Fred was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.<BR>His wife was REALLY angry.<BR><BR>She told him, "Tomorrow morning I expect to find a<BR>gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6<BR>seconds AND IT BETTER BETHERE!!!"<BR>&nbsp;<BR>The next morning Fred got up early and left for work. When<BR>his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough<BR>there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.<BR>Confused, the wife put onher robe and ran out to the<BR>driveway, and brought the box back in thehouse. She opened<BR>it and found a brand new bathroom scale.<BR><BR>Fred has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.<FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR></SPAN></FONT></P>

  <description><![CDATA[That's great Madison! You're right, reality can be hilarious. Our teenager is constantly texting her friends and has even taken to talking in "text speak." Instead of "oh my gosh" we get "OMG" and instead of "I don't know," it's "IDK."&nbsp; The other day I was talking to her about whether or not her friends were on their way over. She replied, "IDK," to which I replied, "Well you could ASK." She stopped everything, stared at me for a moment, and responded, "What does that stand for?" She figured it out after I started laughing hysterically.

  <description><![CDATA[<P><FONT size=4>I received this one by email today: </FONT></P> <P><FONT size=4>Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through The&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>woman in the passenger seat thought to herself 'I must be losing it. I&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>could have sworn we just went through a red light.' </FONT></P> <P><FONT size=4>After a few more&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again.&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough,&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>woman and said, 'Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>lights in a row? You could have killed us&nbsp;both!'&nbsp; </FONT></P> <P><FONT size=4>Mildred turned to her&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=4>and said, 'Oh, crap, am I driving?' </FONT></P>

  <description><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone else find "The Big Bang Theory" as funny as I do?  Not the origin of the universe but the TV show!  So many sit coms are SO BAD you wonder if they actually hired any writers but Big Bang is so well written, and the actors are so good.  We all need to laugh and this one's guaranteed to make you laugh! </p>

  <description><![CDATA[I only watch a handful of TV shows but I do like Big Bang.  The one actor, the lead genius, has won the best actor award in the past at the Emmy's.  I like Two and a half men.  I made the mistake of turning my mom on to that one and now she's hooked.  She TIVO's it and watches the past shows every night!  Too bad Charlie Sheen is such a mess; his show is really good!

  <description><![CDATA[<p>I love Country Music; it makes me crack up and the cowboys are hot!  Here's more favorites:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My favorite verse because I definitely don't do windows! </p>
<p> I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer:</p>
<p>I aint much for mowin thick grass<br />
I'm too slow for workin' too fast<br />
I don't do windows so honey don't ask<br />
But I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ha, can we relate?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How 'bout, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our house"</p>
<p>"I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,<br />
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.<br />
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.<br />
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."<br />

Not me, I'm afraid of widths.<br /><br />I had a dog once. I spilled spot remover on him, and now he's gone.<br /><br />I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.<br /><br />I bought a dog the other day... I named him Stay. It's fun to call him... "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me and keeps typing. He's an East German Shepherd.<br /><br />Question and answer animal jokes<br />Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?<br />A: To show the armadillo that it was possible.<br /><br />Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?<br />A: To get away from Colonel Sanders!<br /><br />Q: Why did the chicken cross the road twice?<br />A: Because it was a double-crosser.<br /><br />Q: Why did the Iraqi chicken cross the road?<br />A: To take over the other side.<br /><br />Q: Why did the chicken cross the playground?<br />A: To get to the other slide.<br /><br />Q: Why did the chicken cross the beach?<br />A: To get to the other tide.<br /><br />Q: Why did the dinosaur cross the road?<br />A: Chickens hadn't evolved yet.</p>
