Anyone have any good clean jokes (not about PD)? I could use a laugh.

[DaleD]

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish."

Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish; a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry; what they mean when they say 'nothing'; and how I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"

Hope that gives you a little smile. PM or email me if you need to talk to anyone, I've got a good shoulder.

Some short jokes:

Two peanuts walk into a bar.
One was a salted.

A jumper cable walks into a bar.
The barman says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

A sandwich walks into a bar.
The barman says "Sorry we don't serve food in here."

A Dyslexic man walks into a bra.

"Doc, I can't stop singing 'The green, green grass of home'." "That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome." "Is it common?"
"It's not unusual."

[maryfrances]

Wow! Thanks Tena! I really like the dyslexic one! It made me laugh out loud!

This isn't a joke, but it is still quite FUNNY ...and quite accurate!! as well as relevant so many decades after being uttered.

I found it in my Quote of the Day today:

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.'
