C'Mere...I wanna Tell You A joke

Do you want to hear a Joke?

What is a Shih Tzu?

A zoo with no animals!

A friend told me this joke a week or two ago. It is corny - but it works (made me giggle) it works because of  the way that you pronounce shih tzu. Here in Norn Ireland at any rate we pronounce it 'shit zoo'.

You can see how it works. Here is another one

A man goes into the barbers and the barber asks "How do you want your hair cut?"
The man replies "In Silence"

This is one of the oldest recorded jokes...and it still works. It harks from ancient Greece. Can you believe that? I suppose that's what is meant by universal concepts. In this case universal and timeless. Think about it, how many times have you sat in the hairdressers and just wished they'd shut up talking and just do your hair?

I've been thinking about humor this morning, how important a part of human nature it is, how our ability to laugh can carry us through the most difficult of times and every one has plenty of those. Have you never noticed that when you smile people automatically smile back.?

When you want to cry........that's a different story. It is as though it is not socially acceptable to be sad....Someone pass the happy pills...better still tell me a joke!
