There was a married couple that, upon retiring, scraped together their life savings and bought a meager vineyard to supplement their income.
The man loved to garden, but their space was limited, so along the rows of trellises he planted all sorts of greens. Mustard, turnip, etc.
And his dear wife, she loved flowers, so between the grapes, he planted rosebushes.

Now, as you can imagine, when it came time to harvest, this arrangement of plants gave the vintage a very…interesting bouquet.

Still, they are very optimistic about its chances.

You might say they are selling…

There’s a country I’ve always wanted to visit, but it’s been under a cruel dictatorship for a while. Recently though, the rebels were able to overthrow the tyrant, and in celebration they are doing a big extravaganza in the palace. A famous ice sculptor will be doing a series of rebel figures throughout history. William Wallace, Arminius, and even a 10 foot tall Robert E Lee.

I’m really excited to be able to take the trip,




I can see clear Lee now, the reign has gone.

How do you track Will Smith in the snow?


You follow the fresh prints.

I had a Spanish girlfriend, heavy accent.

I made her an omelette one day, using only egg whites

She said she didn’t get the joke.

Its as if you think there should be some level of sophistication in order for something to be a good joke



Dude…I mean, yeah, jokes should have some modicum of cleverness, misdirection, something…that’s what makes them jokes. They have to present a twist, something that makes them something other than just a normal sentence.

But to suggest that I’m some ivory tower stickler…hardly.

I utilize crude, low humor as much or more than I use high level stuff.

An author read about an online contest to see who could come up with the best, most original pun. So that he would have the best chance possible, the author spent an entire month researching and crafting what he thought were 10 worthy submissions. After all his hard work, he was certain that at least one of his original puns would win at least something.

But alas, no pun in ten did.

I mean, those don’t really transfer to comedy because they are a sensory punchline of sorts. But as long as they aren’t overused a good fart joke can be hilarious, at least organically

Did you hear about the crawfish who got a degree from LSU and went to WAFB to be a weatherman?
Well wouldn’t you know it, he got the job, and he was all dressed in his little crawfish suit and tie, about to go on air, when a meteor fell out the sky onto the newsroom, flattening it.

Just goes to show


You can’t do the weather with a crushed station.

He says he is from the waist down.

No independent confirmation, nor do I care, just informational.

He does not care for the term “baw”, if that’s a clue.
