March 24, 2017 Recycling
Like many of you,
I'm a true believer of recycling. I'm quite the hoarder. I see the pecking
order of one's junk turning into another one's treasure. That's why I
love going to Thrift Shops and yard sales.
In the early years
of the internet, there was a joke website that declared that you had reached
the end of the internet superhighway. Some weeks I feel as if I
had reached the end of the joke superhighway because I could not
find any new jokes to share. I've noticed that recently many of the jokes
that are submitted have been recycled they've been around
forever. I think 80% of the jokes in a week are "oldies but goodies."
In fact, a couple of jokes that I've illustrated and sent out have returned
to me full circle without the sender realizing that I was the one who
illustrated the joke. Wild isn't it?
So with this issue
I want to start recycling some of my early editions of my TGIF jokes.
One reason I want
to do this is because several readers have told me that they collect my
emails in a special folder. (That's very flattering.) I realized that
they wouldn't need to save those emails if they were readily available
online.
In case you didn't
know, all my emails starting in April 2014 are now preserved in TravelingBoy.com.
Sometimes, when I have time, I even share some of the feedback I get and
respond. Last week's topic for example was really heavy stuff and I didn't
expect so many interesting comments. You might want to look into it. CLICK

Don't be surprised
if I give you credit for a joke submission in the coming weeks
you really did send it but it may have been years ago. After all, I started
TGIF Jokes in 2003 that's a lot of jokes.
You may also notice
that my cartoon style has changed since then. I now use brush pen and
ink sketches more often than not.... whereas before it was more felt tip
pens.
Don't let this discourage
you from sending me your jokes and videos. If they're new or if I haven't
used them yet, it may still be chosen as the joke or video of the week.
TGIF people!
After
Life Contributed by

(originally shared on Aug 2006)

Martha and John were
deeply into spiritualism and reincarnation. They vowed that if either
died, the other one remaining would try to contact the partner in the
other world exactly 30 days after their death.
Unfortunately, a few
weeks later, John died in a car wreck. True to her word, Martha tried
to contact him in the spirit world exactly 30 days later.
At the séance,
she called out, "John, John, this is Martha.
Do you hear me?"

A ghostly voice answered
her, "Yes Martha, this is John. I can hear
you."
Martha tearfully asked,
"Oh John! What is it like, and where are
you?"
"It's
beautiful. There are azure skies, a soft breeze and sunshine most of the
time."
"What
do you do all day?"
asked Martha.
"Well,
Martha, we get up before sunrise, eat some good breakfast, and there's
nothing but copulating until noon."
"After
lunch, we nap until 2 p.m. and then make love again until about 5 p.m.
After dinner, we do it again until we fall asleep about 11 p.m."
Martha was somewhat
taken aback. "Is that what heaven really
is like?"
"Heaven?
I'm not in heaven, Martha."
"Well,
then, where are you?"

"I'm
a rabbit in Arizona!"

I laughed so
hard at this video. I was in tears. The more clueless the "victim"
was, the harder I laughed.

This lesson
has been going around for a while but it's still a good reminder.
And if this is the 1st time for you to see this, this will be really
good.

Fishing
Foibles Sent by by Tom of Pasadena, CA
I love fish.
Especially now that I need to eat healthy. But I never got into
fishing. Only tried it once. However, I can appreciate what fishermen
go through.
