Finally I have my cat trained. When I give a signal she will do exactly what she wants to do whenever she wants to do it.

Of all the inventions in the last 100 years...

The dry erase board has to be the most remarkable!

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

A recent college grad does in a car wreck. He is told that he will have a choice between heaven and hell after he visits both places. He first enters hell. He is immediately handed a cold beer and shown around . There is a swimming pool with attractive girls. Everyone is having fun. He e en meets the devil who turns out to be a pretty nice guy. Then he goes to heaven where he is handed a harp and expected to sit on a cloud and sing. He end up deciding that heaven is a pretty boring place and chooses hell. This time he arrives in hell, everything is inflamed, people are dressed in rags, and everyone is picking up garbage. At his first opportunity he approaches the devil for an explanation. The devil tells him,
oh before we were recruiting you. Now you are staff.

A DEA stopped by a farm and insisted on inspecting it. The farmer agreed but told the agent not to go in the south paddock. The DEA agent exploded, pulled out his badge, and yelled at the farmer that his badge allows him to go anywhere he likes. The farmer apologized, and told the agent to look anywhere he wants. The agent marched off to the south paddock. A short time later the farmer hears a scream and sees his bull changing the DEA agent through the south paddock. The farmer runs to the fence and yells, " Show him your badge! Show him your badge!"

Not a joke, but thought the joke folks might be amused by what I did....
I have a nephew in the Navy, part of what we sent him for his birthday was a a package of 16 cards, open one a day.
To make the cards I went through this jokes thread, picked out about 350 good ones, and each card was just jokes, 8 - 20 jokes per card. They were printed on colored paper. I hope those things run around on his ship for the next few years!
Thank you all for adding to the silliness I sent to a ship out in the ocean someplace!!

My favorite of them all was:

I heard a report about a bad outbreak of the tummy bug, apparently 9 out of 10 people there suffered from diarrhea.
I can’t stop thinking about that tenth person who apparently enjoyed it.

I can't stop thinking about that visual either :D

A 50 year old man is walking along the beach. Depressed and alone he knows the fact that his efforts to embezzle from the bank
he works at will soon be discovered . As he walks through the sand, he kicks a brass lantern and a genie appears. He, of course, is granted 3 wishes. First, he wants to be royalty. A king would be too much. He decides to be a Duke. He wants to live in a grand home, and he wants an attractive wife appropriate to his age. The genie tell him all his wishes will be granted. The man goes to sleep on the sand. Morning comes and he awakes in a soft comfortable bed. An attractive woman is next to him. She turns, smiles, and says, " We had better get up now Franz. We have to go to Sarajevo today."

Re the last joke, someone said "I don't get it"

The lady: Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg

Franz: Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria was the heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary.[1] His assassination in Sarajevo is considered the most immediate cause of World War I.

Another old genie joke. Maybe not quite as old ...

A guy was walking along the beach & found a bottle with a genie inside. His first two wishes were granted immediately but then he told the genie he wanted to think about his third wish before asking. The genie agreed. It was a beautiful day so the guy started walking on the beach again. Then started singing "Ooooh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener." <poof>
