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 asked the gym instructor if he could teach me to do splits. He wanted to know how flexible I was. I told him,
"I couldn't make it on Tuesdays".

@covidstinks2023 I would have said, "Bananas are mandatory, but either chocolate, caramel, or strawberry is okay."

@loribmt, @hopeseeker22, my short-term memory is gone and so is part of my long-term memory, including most things Latin. So I have to say, "Valete." Heck, I don't even remember if that's a correct "bye bye."

“Tua memoria bona est!”
“Vale” is farewell said to one person. If there are more than one, it’s “válete”. Did u know the ancient Romans used no spaces in between written words? Nor for a long time did they have “lower case”letters. So, in Jan 49 BC, when Caesar crossed the Rubicon River with his legions (strictly forbidden by the Senate -> to have his army follow him in), it touched off civil was & led to end of Roman Republic, & eventual rise of the autocratic Roman Empire. to civil war. Caesar, pausing on the “legal” side of the river, tens of thousands of legionaries & cavalry anxiously behind him, the General thought long and hard about crossing with or without soldiers. Steadily, strongly he is supposed to have said: “Iacta alea est”, or literally “Thrown the die is”. Or maybe: “Alea iacta est”(Latin word order being flexible) “The die is cast.” Like in “There’s no turning back now guys!” But Roman scribes would have written his quote as: “IACTAALEAEST”. Sometimes “I” and “J” were interchangeable. Perhaps they did this because “paper” or even marble was expensive.
At that, all of Caesar’s legions crossed over; resulting in bloody civil war, an end to the Roman. Republic (like US), and the emergence of the Roman Empire. Are you asleep by now?

@hopeseeker22 I'm actually wide awake at 3 AM! Thanks for jogging my memory, it's been 75 years since I studied Latin and, no, I'm not going to write that in Roman Numerals, tee-hee.

A man said, he thought his wife was joking when she said she wanted to see a Monkees tribute band in Switzerland. Then I saw her face, now I'm in Geneva, he said.

A 6th grader in our Catholic parish’s elementary school, once a week our Pastor visited to talk about virtue, honesty, the Sacraments, charity, and the like - at a level we would understand. And he would ask us if we had any questions. (I swear my older brother put me up to this). What did I know? Anyway I raised my hand to ask my question. “Yes, young man,” the Cleric said. “What is your question.” I stood respectfully, swallowed and asked measuredly: “Why does it say in the Bible, ‘Call no man ‘Father’, Father?”
No Holy Card for me that day. [Mat
