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

ANOTHER POEM.
I love it when a storm is comin'
And all the little birds go runnin'
A strange cool breeze breaks up the air
Dust and leaves fly everywhere.
I might run to move some things
from harm's way, as storms will bring
A downpour--not just rain but things
that only summer storms can bring:
A heavy branch from up on high,
Bits of dust get in my eyes,
And plants that suffered yesterday
(dry as dust in pots of clay)
get drenched until they overflow
poor seedlings lost in sudden flow.
I quickly find a sheltered space--
a single, quiet guarded place
from which to watch the water stream
(It's like a humid, daytime dream)
Until my meditation stops
and suddenly there's no more drops.
I turn my head-- son of a gun!
I'm blinded by the blazing sun.

On Turbulent weather:

Id love it if a storm was comin'.
But I'm sittin' here and, man, I'm bummin'.
That'd be the height of melodrama.
Cuz I'm livin' in the Atacama.

That's how autocorrect describes any of the crashes at Kittyhawk.

What-on-earth was the asteroid doing in a nutrition store?
It spotted some extra large steroid containers in the display window of GNC (General Nutrition Center) and exclaimed: THIS is what I've have been looking for my troubles in this universe!

(Some say, it was a NASA scientist who guided him there, hoping to win a Nobel Prize for fixing wayward asteroids)

My wife arrived home one afternoon after being out for a few hours.

Me: I'm glad you got home. I've been experiencing severe chest pains since you left and think I might be having a heart attack.

Wife: Why didn't you call 911?

Me: I tried but I couldn't find the 11 button.

Asteroid joke (rudimentary):

Millions of large chondrite, stony and metallic space rocks walked into a bar and ordered a belt.
