Happy Friday!
Also, happy day-before-International-Day-of-Happiness….day, haha!
In honor of tomorrow, I thought I’d do something a little different today, and share some of the jokes I turn to when I’m either looking to make others laugh or seeking to cheer myself up. Now of all times the world needs a bit more laughter and smiling, doesn’t it?
I’ll admit, one-liner jokes tend to be my favorite, simply because my memory is too bad to keep track of longer ones. Most the times that I try telling long jokes to people, they end up flopping because I’ve forgotten some crucial part of them. Still, I do appreciate them, and have included my favorites below.
Along with forgetting longer jokes, I’m sure I’ve forgotten to include all my favorite quips1 – but here are a bunch that I enjoy hearing over and over again. At the very least, these can always be counted on to draw a grin and a groan from me. I hope I can at least draw the same from you.
Be warned: great cheesiness lies ahead.
