How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Posted by Jake @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

Dr: "Do you smoke or drink alcohol?
Patient: I drink it.

Reminds me of that running gag on The Addams Family where Morticia would ask Gomez, "Do you mind if I smoke?", and when he'd say "No", she'd cross her arms and smoke would start coming out from under her dress.

There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.
Only a fraction of people will understand this.

When hiking in grizzly country, never go alone and always carry a sedative dart gun because there's safety in numb bears.

How do get an A on everything? Commit adultery in a 17th century Puritan town.

How do you get an "A" on everything?

Talk to a Canadian, eh?

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 is some serious wisdom!
