How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Posted by Leonard @jakedduck1, Dec 31, 2018

I believe laughter is the best medicine. Laughter has actually been scientifically proven to help people with depression issues.
Let’s give it a try so we can all get happy and feel better. Many Epilepsy forums I’ve been on had joke sections. I was probably the biggest joke of all since I didn’t get a lot of the jokes. They said the jokes couldn’t be above 4th grade level for me to understand them so my jokes may be rather simplistic but let’s give it a try.
Have a lovely day everyone,
Jake

I think some people are determined to get insulted.
I just like finding the humor in a joke. Even Epilepsy (which I have) jokes.

What do you do when an Epileptic has a seizure in the bathtub?
Throw in your dirty clothes.

I posted the following joke on a neighborhood website and got all sorts of flack,

When I see lovers initials carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I just think it's surprising how many people bring a knive on a date.

Here's another joke I like,

A lady went into the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist, for some cyanide." The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady replied, "I need it to kill my husband." The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. You CANNOT have any cyanide!" The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."
Take care,
Jake

Love 'em!

My experience is that you're probably safe around here as long as you don't tell any blonde jokes.

It might take a bit longer if you get your jokes from The King of

My philosophy on jokes about tics, tremors, flinches, spasms and general perturbations:

Don't get apoplectic, if the spazz joke's eclectic.

I find jokes 'bout a spastic ... fantastic... long as they're not too drastic.

Jake, I am Cuban by birth and was raised around Cubans and other Hispanics and Caribbean folks and I’ve learned from a lot of them to create our funny things even if annoys someone just a little. Cubans are excellent at that but never hurtful and we all kinda take things in stride anyway. My Father was serious but Mom and her family never stopped laughing. Jamaicans tend to be the same and funny things to laugh at.

IMHO, humor isn't meant to cater exclusively to the faint of heart. It's a whole spectrum of categories. The key is to know your audience, which I've never been too good at.

Back in the 80s, one of my favorite standup artists, George Wallace, told a joke related to Chrysler's then-popular "K" car (I paraphrase):

"Everybody knows about Chrysler's K car, but have you heard about their new KKK car?

No matter what color you buy, the hood's always white"

That K care joke is hysterical and he would do it with that straight somber face.
