If you feel that every day repeats itself and you rarely smile, …. fear not. That almost happened to me. I had forgotten how to laugh, … especially at myself. Laughter is one of the best things you can do for yourself, with your significant other, and most especially, with your children. There is almost nothing so wonderful as seeing someone heartily laugh. It’s almost de rigueur in today’s world to check our phones as soon as we wake up or right before we head to bed, but do we check to make sure we have had a hearty belly laugh at some point in the past twelve hours? … No? That is where this page comes in. Each month, I am going to try to get some hopefully halfway decent jokes put up to get those belly muscles moving. Because once you start laughing, you see the world in a better light and whatever problems you had previously, now seem just a bit smaller and the world seems a little warmer.
Jokes of the month:
Joke #1 – (A European and an American meet at a coffee house)
European: Wanna hear a joke?
American: Sure.
European: Free Healthcare.
American: I don’t get it.
European: I Know.
Joke #2 – (The difference between Europeans and Americans)
Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance.
Americans think 100 years is a long time.
Joke #3 – During a heated battle of the Peninsular Campaign (1808-14), the French by chance managed to capture alive a British colonel. He was brought in to see the commanding French general.
“Why do you silly English continue to wear those red coats? It makes it so easy for us to pick you off from 300 meters away.”
“We wear red Sir because if we are injured and begin to bleed, those under our command will not notice our wounds, and we can lead our men on to greater victory.”
The French general considered this for a moment.
“Henceforth, all men under my command will wear brown pants.”
Joke #4 – And the Lord said unto John, “Come forth and receive eternal life.” But John came fifth, and received a toaster.
Joke #5 – (Taken from a well known Yiddish joke)
Two Jews sat in a coffeehouse, discussing the fate of their people.
“How miserable is our history,” said one. “Pogroms, plagues, discrimination, Hitler, Neo-Nazis…Sometimes I think we’d be better off if we’d never been born.”
“Sure,” said his friend. “But who has that much luck — maybe one in 50,000?”
Joke #6 – What do you call a Canadian soap opera?
The Cold and the Beautiful.
