Joke O’ the Day

Ransom (Oregon) volunteers to demonstrate how to be funny

I can’t tell a joke to save my life.

Really.

Every once in a while, my writing hits on gentle humor, but in person, I’m hopeless.

Which is too bad, because I love to laugh.

So I figured I’d share a few lame jokes, with the hope that you’ll jump in and save me - save us - by sharing something really funny.

For the grammar nerds (guilty!):

Q: Why do dogs like conjunctions?
A: They just love buts.

Finn (Oregon) demonstrating why you must have a sense of humor
if you want to hang around dogs…

Officer: Excuse me, sir, but are you aware your dog has been chasing a guy on his bike?

Dog Owner: Are you nuts? My dog can’t ride a bike!

“Outside of a dog, a book is a person’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”

Groucho Marx

I’ve been a lawyer, board president, preschool teacher and middle school teacher, friend, spouse, mother, and now grandmother, but one thing has never changed: from the time I could hold a pencil, I’ve been a writer of stories, a spinner of tales - often involving dragons (literal or metaphorical). I believe we are here to care for each other and this earth. Most of all, I believe in kindness and laughter. (And music and good books, and time spent with children and dogs. And chocolate.)
