In those whom I like, I can find no common denominator; in those whom I love I can: they all make me laugh.
W.H. Auden

A hiker stumbles upon a golden lamp in the forest. He rubs it, and out pops a real-life genie.
“In return for freeing me,” says the genie, “I will grant you three wishes.”
“I want a million more wishes,” the hiker says immediately.
“Rule number one: No asking for more wishes.”
The hiker considers his options before replying, “In that case, I want a million more genies.”

Hear about the new restaurant called Karma?
There’s no menu—you get what you deserve.

The problem with math puns is that calculus jokes are all derivative, trigonometry jokes are too graphic, algebra jokes are usually formulaic, and arithmetic jokes are pretty basic. But I guess the occasional statistics joke is an outlier.

I Renamed my iPod The Titanic, so when I plug it in, it says, “The Titanic is syncing.”

A man vacations on a tropical island, and the first thing he hears is drums. He goes to the beach and hears the drums; he eats lunch, he hears the drums; he tries to sleep, he can’t—drums. Finally he storms over to the manager. “I’ve had it! Can’t you stop those drums?” he begs.
“No!” says the manager. “It’s very bad if the drums stop.”
“Why?”
“When the drums stop, the bass solo begins.”

Names For Groups You Never Knew
A pride of lions, a gaggle of geese … and here’s how we might classify these groups:
• A brat of boys
• A giggle of girls
• A stagger of drunks
• A tedium of accountants
• A stitch of doctors
• A whine of losers
• A jerk of politicians

I told the kids I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. So they unplugged my computer and threw out my wine.

Famous film quotes get the redneck treatment:
• “You had me at ‘Sooooey!’”
• “Use the horse, Luke.”
• “Are you crying? There’s no crying in NASCAR!”
• “Of all the trailer parks in Pine Cone County, she had to pull her ’68 Rambler into mine.”

A: We have a light-bulb here, and it works fine. Can you tell me what kind of bulb you have? OK. There could be four or five things wrong. Now, I need you to look at the light switch, and tell me if it is in the on position.

I think the expression “It’s a small world” is really a euphemism for “I keep running into people I can’t stand.”

Good morning everyboomie.
What a great day! I can't believe it's trash day already. Scary!
I still remember the good old days when I only had to take the trash out. Now I have to take the trash out
AND haul the trash container all the way out to the road once a week. BOY!
It's hard on an old man.
I used to tell people I don't mind getting older, I just hate having to act my age, but things have changed.
I hate them both now.
I still like sleeping though.
Some of my best memories came back to me while I was sleeping.
Have a happy day everyone.
