I love to laugh ... is it any wonder my son would be on stage at the Follies making people happy. I love to hear jokes, so if you know a "good one" send it along. If they're not too naughty or I haven't already heard them, I'll tell my son to put your jokes in his Follies ... remember, laughter is the best medicine of all!

An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, "What is this, Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life. I don't know what it is".
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a large old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.
The father said quietly to his son .....
"Go get your mother."

Unexpected cold snaps had destroyed the buds on my father's young peach tree for two years in a row. This spring Dad was ready. He replanted the sapling in a large box, mounted it on wheels, and put the tree in the garage whenever the temperature dropped. One warm April day Dad was wheeling the tree out into the yard, and stopped to give our dog a drink from the garden hose. A neighbor watched the scene with amusement. "Frank," he finally commented, "you're the only man I know who walks his tree and waters his dog!"

NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected
a half-gallon of 2% milk,
a carton of eggs,
a quart of orange juice,
a head of romaine lettuce,
a 2 lb. bag of coffee,
and 1 lb. package of bacon.
As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single."
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said:
"Well, you know what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?"
The drunk replied, "'Cause you're ugly".

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.
His wife was really mad. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds, or less, AND IT BETTER BE THERE".
The next morning Ed got up early and left for work.
When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and there was a small gift-wrapped box in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Funeral services for Ed have been scheduled for next Friday.
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.
The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The second sees his family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eight weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week, and finally has his surgery scheduled for six weeks from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first is a Golden Retriever.
The second is a Senior Citizen.

"Why, Danny, that would be lovely. When I come I'll cook you a lovely home cooked meal, I expect you could use one."

A little old lady put a pink envelope into the collection plate at church one Sunday. When the priest opened it he found $1,000 in cash! He was very pleased. The next Sunday the same thing happened, there was the pink envelope and inside another $1,000! The third week the same thing happened.
The priest had taken careful note of the little old lady and saw that she was not expensively dressed, wearing carefully mended clothes and slightly down-at-heel shoes. He made sure to stop her as he stood at the doorway after the service.
"My dear lady", he said "I have been overwhelmed and grateful for your offerings to the church these past weeks but I can't help wondering if you can really afford to be so generous."
"Oh yes, Father," she responded. "You see, I have a wonderful son who sends me money each week."
"How wonderful", said the priest. "Your son must be very successful. Tell me, what does your son do?"
"My son is a veterinarian," said the little old lady, proudly.
"A veterinarian, I see...and where does he practice?"
"Oh, my son practices in Nevada. He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas and one in Reno!"

The youngest sister sits at the kitchen table, shaking her head and says to herself, "I hope I never get like that, knock on wood."
