Agnew" and all the pages are blank. lolol That still cracks me up. One of our liberal cousins gave it to him back in the early 70's, when Agnew was Nixon's VP.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-36663247854032118032011-01-07T23:51:30.075-05:002011-01-07T23:51:30.075-05:00interesting.

It's like nobody has any self esteem anymore or something. <br /><br />You will think this is funny. My dad had a musical comedy group called The Richie Brothers, back in the day. Him and his two brothers. All they did was play ethnic music and tell ethnic jokes!! They used to change the lyrics to songs to make them funny, etc... <br /><br />I'll leave you with this "When Irish eyes are laughing, all the world is bright and gay, but when Irish eyes are smiliiiiing, it takes a dego to make 'em that way!"Petit fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626110471501778855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-90846599187756607532011-01-07T17:02:46.370-05:002011-01-07T17:02:46.370-05:00hey, you get no argument outta me...i still make j...hey, you get no argument outta me...i still make jokes about how i'm the only jewish person who lives SOUTH of 8 mile road. <>fenwayspalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114597014268136933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-16347421961943322412011-01-07T15:16:35.976-05:002011-01-07T15:16:35.976-05:00Excellent points, Jo.

The punishments we got were appropriate then, but abusive now. They give awards to all kids on a team or in a class instead of those that have worked to earn them. I guess all older generations have to get used to the changes that the new generations have created.Betteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743198173438709890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-10809799756668296022011-01-07T14:20:22.517-05:002011-01-07T14:20:22.517-05:00I think we live in a different time now, JoJo.

Also, there is the matter of racial profiling and being sensitive to the ethnicities of others that has abolished all joking. My father was "Archie Bunker" to be sure...I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-67838864109184510512011-01-06T14:02:20.580-05:002011-01-06T14:02:20.580-05:00There was a comment on a Family Guy episode that w...There was a comment on a Family Guy episode that was showing on TV the other morning, which my student's mother and nurse were watching while finishing off getting him ready for school for me. All our jaws dropped simultaneously, and I can't remember the whole thing, but it was about stereotypes, and something about dads, and if this dad had left, he'd have been black, or if he'd been black, he'd have left.<br /><br />After the initial shock we laughed, but mostly from shock, I think. I don't think any of us had any idea how it was allowed on!<br /><br />I remember there used to be a few versions of "the shortest book on earth" which included The Italian Book of Heroes and the Belgian Book of Culture. Anyone remember the others? The German Book of Humour, maybe?valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-45771772124384208892011-01-06T13:52:50.645-05:002011-01-06T13:52:50.645-05:00Gosh, the only joke I get nowadays are the ones pa...Gosh, the only joke I get nowadays are the ones passed by my co-workers through email.

For several minutes they sat silently.<br />Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus."<br />"Well, uh, I was thinkin'...perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."<br />The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.<br />Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.<br />Minutes passed and the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus." "Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's noo time aboot time for a wee cuddle."<br />The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds.<br />Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.<br />After a while, she again said, "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."<br />"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time you let me put my hand<br />on your leg."<br />The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. The the two turned once again to gaze out over the lock before the girl spoke again.<br />"Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."<br />The young man glanced down with a furled brow. "Well,noo," he said, "my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time."<br />"Really?" said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation.<br />"Aye," said the lad, nodding.<br />The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.<br />Then he said, "Dae ye nae think it's aboot time ye paid me the first<br />three pennies?"Dirty Soaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401161081617655732noreply@blogger.com
