I decided to start a joke discussion because we as caregivers need our load lightened. We need to laugh at our own situations and those of others to take away the sting and pain we go through. If you have a joke that's racy then give a heads up at the beginning of your post for those who might not want to read your post. We need to avoid that kind of humor. Please don't come on this thread and berate anyone for their choices of humor. This is our place to let go of criticism. Thanks for sharing!!!! ;o)

Now I'm in hot water with the Japanese Mafia.
"Single black female seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl that loves to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping, fishing trips, and cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call XXX-XXX-XXXX and ask for Daisy."
Over 15,000 people found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black Labrador Retriever named Daisy.
“Don’t worry,” said the doc. “Those are just contractions.”
The cop stopped a speeding car, went to the driver:
"Papers, please."
"Sorry, officer, when I stole this car I found no documents."
"You what?!"
"Sure, I opened the glove compartiment to store my pistol, and saw nothing there"
"Pistol?!"
"How do you expected me to shoot the car owner with no gun?"
"You shoot the..."
"Yes, the body is at the trunk. Just be careful not to rip the cocaine bags also there."
The cop was nervous, called for back up, including the police chief.
They arrived in a flash. The commander was quickly asking:
"So, you have no documents?"
"No, officer, they are right here."
"And the gun on the glove compartment?"
"you can open it, there's only kleenex and candy there."
"And I imagine there's no body in the trunk"
The driver opened it, the cops saw it was empty. The chief turned to him.
"I don't understand. The first officer told me you stole a car, had a gun, drugs and a body on it."
"... and I bet he told you I was also speeding."
Here are a few aging (old?) jokes from my BIL.
60 may be the new 40, but 9:00 is the new midnight.
If you answer the phone with "Hello, you’re on the air!" most telemarketers will quickly hang up.
To me ‘drink responsibly’ means don’t spill it.
When someone asks what you did over the weekend, squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
