I used to do research in public records, giving me access to all sorts of odd or humorous names. I work in a different aspect of public records now,so I still get to see some interesting ones.<br />I only tell people who know me really well about this hobby...they already know that I'm a bit eccentric! So nice to meet someone else who not only does this but has taken it to a new level. I MUST look for your book!<br />My pastor incorporates really lame or sick jokes into his homilies. Most of them are too long to share here. He has even told jokes at funerals. As a family member of someone whose funeral he presided over, I would have been disappointed if he had delivered a serious eulogy! <br />Short Jokes - I subscribe to a daily joke newsletter: <br />Don't believe in horses?<br /><br />You're a neightheist!<br />..............<br />I can never make it to the end of the alphabet.<br /><br />I don't know Y.<br />Deb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-81222988194015989162013-01-03T12:01:44.148-05:002013-01-03T12:01:44.148-05:00Molly always makes me laugh and I wish I could rem...Molly always makes me laugh and I wish I could remember a joke to share here, but I can't ... because I'm laughing at those that were posted!Beth Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770840174293503835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-88177340227213839402013-01-03T10:47:31.375-05:002013-01-03T10:47:31.375-05:00"Back when grape jokes were popular.." ..."Back when grape jokes were popular.."
