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

Funny but true story: our teenage nephew visited from Austria years ago. Our whole family went to a steak house, and of course the server asked each person how they wanted their steak prepared. All of us chose medium, and after a short hesitation, the nephew decided, he wanted his “large”!.

During World War I, due to concerns that the American public would reject a product with a German name, American sauerkraut makers relabeled their product “Liberty Cabbage.”

Sauerkraut originated nearly 2,000 years ago in ancient China. In summer, slaves building the Great Wall of China lived on cabbage and rice. In winter, the cabbage was preserved with rice wine which soured the cabbage to keep thousands of laborers healthy in the worst of conditions.

Well. flight from Munich to to New York... stunning blonde walks up into first class after take off, takes a seat. Stewardess asks for seat ticket, tells the women she belongs in economy and must leave. OH no, she says. I’m beautiful, young, on my way to New York, and I surely belong in this seat. Cabin Steward tries to argue - Lady, you need to leave. Your tiicket does not entitle you to sit here. “But, don’t you see, I’m destined to be great once I get to New York, as georgious as I look!.” Consternation, but co-pilot happens to step out of the cokpit. Informed of the situaltion, he says: no problem. I speak blond. Whispers to the women, who smiles at him, and gets up and goes back to her assigned seat. Stunned, the stewardess asks what he did... “ I simply told her that today first class does not stop in New York.

I thought this joke was funny but when I posted it on a neighborhood site most analyzed it saying things like “My husband always carried a knife” why people just can’t see the humor in things I’ll never know. Anyway here it is.

When I see lovers' names carved in a tree, I don't think it's sweet. I just think it's surprising how many people bring a knife on a date.

@jakedduck1 Well, I carry a knife everyday. A knife has been daily part of my life since age 10, when my dad allowed me to get my first folding Case knife at Thrifty Drug Store [funny how some moments stay in your memory].

I managed to lose my rifle when I was in the army. I had to pay $855 to cover the loss. I’m starting to understand why a Navy captain always goes down with his ship.

@jakedduck1 :does one dare to inquire how you lost the rifle? Might be interesting, funny, terrifying, or lost to memory?

@ellerbracke
It didn’t really happen, just a joke. I thought it was funny. I suppose they could have added to it and make it more interesting but they didn’t. I wish I had a better imagination so I could make up jokes and/or add a little more to them but I don’t.
Do you know any good jokes you could add?
