I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The racy joke among my cousins was:

Knock-knock
Who's there?
Uncle Duncan's Underwear!

You'd sort of sing the last part. And why of all our relatives Uncle Duncan got it I cannot tell you.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

One of my best friends and I spend all of Elephant Appreciation Day (mid-Sept) sending these back and forth. We've got a million of 'em.

How do elephants hide? They paint their toenails red and hide in cherry trees.

Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree? Works don't it!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The jokes I remember from junior high were either racy:

Why did the snowman drop his pants? Because he saw the snowblower approaching.

Or they were really non-PC and inappropriate (a lot of Natalie Wood jokes right after her death, Helen Keller jokes, and "what do you call a man with no arms and no legs XXXX?").

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I remember all of those. Plus who was that teacher who died when the Space Shuttle disintegrated on launch in '86? There were a lot of jokes about her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bob! Eileen! Matt!

When I was a kid, we had a lot of inappropriate Challenger jokes.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Why did the squirrel cross the road? Because he was stapled to the chicken.

I promise not to post any dead baby jokes if no one else does....
