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)
“People in therapy are often in therapy to deal with the people in their lives who won’t go to therapy.”
"I keep hearing it takes a village to care for an elderly person. Do they just show up or is there a number to call? I think they can't find me."
On the family trip to nirvana. A kid in the back:
“Are we there yet?”
A monk meditating and thinking:
“What the ****!##!! was I thinking about? Oh yeah, emptiness.”
HOW ENLIGHTENED ARE YOU?
IF....
If you can live without caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him or her,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics,
--Then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog!
A guy is seeking enlightenment, goes to a monastery and speaks to the head monk.
The monk says, "You must take a vow of silence and can only say two words every three years."
The man agrees and after the first three years, the head monk came to him and said, "What are your two words?"
"Still hungry" the man replied, and the monk granted him more food at supper.
Three more years had passed and the head monk came to the man and said, "What are your two words?" To which the man replied, "too cold". And the monk granted the man a thicker robe.
Three more years goes by and the head monk came up to the man and says, "What are your two words?"
"I quit!" Says the man, and the monk says "I'm not surprised, you've done nothing but complain since you got here!"

A shaolin disciple of several years seeks out his master as he is in deep meditation, seeking enlightenment:
"Master, forgive my intrusion. But I require your aid. I have not managed to progress at my techniques for months now!"
After a moment of silence, the wise master calmly speaks:
"Have you witnessed the blue moon light up the darkest depths of the ocean?"
"Yes, master!" said the disciple enthusiastically.
"Have you witnessed the wind mercilessly slash at the unfaltering tree, only to help it grow more resilient?"
"Yes, master!"
"And have you witnessed the chilling water break against an immovable stone, seemingly accomplishing nothing?"
"Yes, master!"
After another brief silence, the wise master slowly opens his eyes and exhales: "Well there's your problem... You keep looking at random nonsense instead of training!"
A Zen student went to a temple and asked how long it would take him to gain enlightenment if he joined the temple.
"Ten years," said the Zen master.
"Well, how about if I really work hard and double my effort?"
"Twenty years."
