The church was crowded to overflowing as people gathered for the funeral of a well-known and much beloved gentleman. Just before the service started, a friend of the family quietly asked the widow " May I say a word during the service?" "Yes, of course" she replied. At the appropriate time the friend went up and stood before the gathering. After a few moments, he said "Plethora" and returned toward his seat. The widow motioned him over and said "Thank you, that means a lot."This message has been edited. Last edited by: arfmel,

There was a crowd at this guy's funeral, but they were all quiet. The rabbi asked, "Doesn't anyone have anything nice to say about him?" Finally a voice in the back spoke up, "His brother was worse."

My funny bone must be broken. I don't get a lot of jokes.

We (mostly me) use that line "I can explain it to you...I just can't understand it for you," around the office. In jest of course. My other favorite (that I have used on my boys for 20 years) is "Well, you got the talkin' part done..."

Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is.
