According to research, I should wait until 6:03 next week to start our joke exchange...
No connection here with getting home to dinner I'm sure:
"Laugh Lab researchers found that jokes are funniest at 6:03 PM around the middle of the month and least humorous at 1:30 AM at the end of the month."
And what were you doing calling me at 1:30 AM?
"The (Laugh Lab) also found that “people who laugh more … have healthier immune systems than others,” and they cite another researcher “who estimated that a good laugh produces an increase in heart rate that is equivalent to ten minutes on a rowing machine.”"

It's been long long rainy week...
so, heard any good jokes recently? Or any bad puns?
Here's the world's funniest joke (or possibly not, as per Monty Python), joke most rated 65% or over by people all over the world who got snookered into rating jokes by the Laugh Lab, I mean, according to a study by the Laugh Lab at Hertfordshire University:
"A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice, says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "O.K., now what?""

Light bulb joke
How many film directors does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one, but he wants to do it thirty-two times and when he's done, everyone says that his last light bulb was much better.

What's the difference between ignorance, apathy and ambivalence?

A lawyer with an international practice
used to entertain his clients at his cabin in the woods. One weekend, a client from Prague was visiting and the lawyer took him to the cabin.
In the morning, they decided to pick berries for their breakfast cereal and headed to the berry patch about the same time two bears - a large male and a smaller female - decided to do the same thing.
The male bear grabbed the client from Prague with his paws and began to devour him. The lawyer decided to run for help.
When the lawyer reached the highway, he managed to flag down a passing deputy sherrif, who grabbed his rifle and followed the attorney back to the berry patch.
The bears were still filling themselves with berries, but the client was nowhere to be seen. The lawyer pointed to the large male and told the deputy, "That male - that's the one that at my client from Prague."
The deputy drew a bead, pulled the trigger, and dropped the female bear.
"Why'd you do that?" screamed the lawyer. "I told you it was the big male!"
The deputy replied, "I've learned to never believe a lawyer who says the Czech is in the male."
walks into a bar...
A man walks into a bar with a chunk of asphalt.
"I'll have a beer please and one for the road."
Good one badger!
shaggy bears and all "...the Czech is in the male..." --nice.
Where we live
people who visit always ask (somewhat nervously) about bears, which are common around here. If I can keep a straight face while telling this, some people don't catch it's a joke until the punch line.
But then some people don't think it's a joke after the punch line.

“I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat.” - Will Rogers
Ole (from Minnesota) needs a new milk cow,
and he sees an ad for one cheap in nearby North Dakota.
When he gets to North Dakota to look at the cow, he asks the farmer why he's selling it so cheap. The farmer gets a bucket and stool and begins milking the cow. Every time he pulls a teat, the cow screams ecstatically and shivers. Ole thinks this is just fine at any price and buys the cow.
When he gets the cow back to Minnesota, he calls his neighbor Sven over to see the cow. Ole gets a bucket and stool and begins to milk the cow, and every time he pulls a teat, the cow screams in shivering ecstasy.
Sven is not particularly impressed. "You got that there cow in Nord Dakoder, din you?", Sven asks.
"How'd you know?", asks Ole.
"My wife, she's from Nord Dakoder too."
Another bear story
That's funny about telling the bear joke, Badger.
A relative of mine used to live in Alaska, where the forest rangers will tell you to ward off one type of bear by making noise. He had a class and they gave him some bells to shake and pepper spray for one bear, the black, and told him the other kind of bear, the grizzly, you scare away by pretending to be bigger; they give you a big red wool poncho to put over your backpack and everything so you'll look bigger.
So, then, a few days later, my relative meets a bear tracker and asks, "How do you tell the difference between the two kinds of bears?"
The tracker says, "You can tell by their scat--I guess grizzly bears like jingle bells."
Sure, myiq2xu
What do you got?
Bear repellant
I love the "jingle bells ...".
That's almost the same as what really happened to us. We were camping in Alberta when a bear walked into our camp site and ate all of the dog's food that was out in a small pail. We waited in the car.
While I drove to the ranger station down the road to report it, the bear came back. My wife, having nothing but a tent, went over to a nearby camper til the bear left. The woman there told her moth balls keep bears away and gave my wife some to spread around the tent (why anyone takes moth balls camping is beyond me).
When the ranger showed up with the trap, I asked him about the moth balls, and he didn't think much of the idea, so we picked them up and put them in a baggy. We hung the baggy on the antenna of the car because we didn't want to stink up the tent or the car.
The bear came back later that night - the dog and I slept through it, but my wife heard it walking around. When we got up in the morning, there were partly chewed mothballs spread around and a paw print and dent on the hood of the car where the bear climbed up to get the baggy full of mothballs.
(And the next night, 200 miles away, just before we went into the tent for the night, the dog picked up the dog food pail by the handle and hid it behind a rock).
A cruise ship sinks
and three politicians make it to an island. The first person is a Green, and she says, "We saved this island from being destroyed and now we can eat fresh fruit until we're rescued." The second person is a Democrat and he says, "I took a class in solar power and we can use the sun's energy to help us."
And the Republican says, "I voted for warrantless surveillance. The phone company should find us anytime now."
very good one!

Great story
Bears are so powerful.
What a great dog.
Does anybody know the joke whose punchline is...

How many art directors does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Does it have to be a light bulb?
How many copy editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
The last time this question was asked it involved art directors. Is the difference intentional? Should one or the other instance be changed? It seems inconsistent.
that's my office every day, TP

Lawyer joke
A lawyer just woke up from an operation, and he notices that the room is totally dark.
So he asks the nurse what's going on, and she says, "I pulled the shades because there's a big fire next door and I didn't want you to think the operation had been a failure."
Judge joke
So this judge calls two opposing lawyers on a case into his chambers. "Now the Defense was paid me $10,000 to win the case," he says, and the defense lawyer looks all embarrassed. The judge goes on, "The Prosecution has paid me $15,000. Now, I've thought about it, and I'm returning $5,000 to the Prosecution and we'll decide this case on its merits."
circus jokes
Why don't cannibals eat clowns?
They taste funny.

Ole "Pretty long time. I'm building a house."
Have you been an organ donor?
No but I once gave an old piano to GoodWill.
My grandmother started walking 5 miles a day when she was sixty.
She's 99 today and we don't know where the heck she is.
A fellow walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
A few minutes later a nurse's aid came out and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room.
Ten minutes later a nurse came in and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
Fifteen minutes later the doctor came in and asked him what he had.
He said, "Shingles."
The doctor said, "Where?"
He said, "Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?"
Any last minute joke requests?
In the next fifteen minutes? Because I'm off to watch the Olympics then (think they are streaming it live on NBC.com as well as TV)--feel free to go crazy with jokes while I'm gone...

A winemaker, a cranberry farmer and a doctor
are lost in the desert.
The winemaker says, "I'm tired, I'm thirsty, I must have wine." The cranberry farmer says, "I'm tired, I'm thirsty, I must have cranberry juice." The doctor says, "I'm tired, I'm thirsty, I must have diabetes."
The only Olympic joke I can think of (do you know any?):
Lena was competing for Norway in the breaststroke.
She came in last by a very long way.
Getting out of the pool, she says to the judges, "I'm sorry but I think those other girls were using their arms too."

political NASCAR joke--

I liked the nature parts
when things and people looked like flowers and trees, the water, and the depiction of writing "the artist is the art" and the visual depiction of chi as light.
Did you like those parts?
not really--
i was impressed by the technical/graphic stuff overall--esp that video floor and globe thing--but it all seemed meaningless to me.
I never really saw an overall theme to take from it--just a bunch of set pieces with tons of people in unison for the most part. I don't know what i was supposed to get from it, and usually they have themes, and/or are narratives or chronological things.
I guess all i took away was -- "boy, that's a lot of people, who must have all been rehearsing for months and months to do everything in unison and to the music like that (and i can see that anywhere)". The pics of kids from around the world seemed thrown in, and not at all connected to anything else i had seen, too. Plus, the whole drum/yelling thing in the beginning struck me as very regimented, martial and military/football-ish, which is kinda not appealing.
(i think it's cool tho, that they didn't use the western alphabet for the parade of athletes/countries)
name the three new events at the Beijing Olympics:
sychronized beating of tibetan monks
the smog-o-thon (running around the city w/o a breathing mask)
speed-squishing protesters with tanks
(ha ha, not so funny)
the smog/pollution thing
is terrible--i betcha some athletes collapse or something--and it'll prevent world records too, i think.
They say the sky is almost always grey there, and that's it's actually noteworthy when there is a blue sky.
