It just occurred to me how terribly difficult it is to come up with a new joke. I'm not talking about coming up with something funny, I mean, you folks do that all the time (you are a funny funny bunch!). No, I'm talking about a honest-to-goodness joke. It's very hard. Watch, I'll show you:

So this guy walks into a bar, no wait, a guy walks into a bar with a parrot, no, a mongoose on his shoulder. Yeah, that's it - A guy, no wait, it's a woman. A woman walks into a bar with a mongoose on her shoulder. Or under her arm. Right, under her arm. Ok, let's start again.

A woman walks into a bar (or maybe a church) with a mongoose under her arm. The bartender, or priest, says to her, "Hey, I see....", no, that's no good. The bartender, or priest, looks at the woman and screams! No, actually he faints! No, he vomits! No, that's REALLY no good!

And sheesh! I'm already exhausted and I'm not even done yet. See what I mean? Coming up with a brand new joke is tough business! Now, I suppose you stand-up comics out there do it all the time and for that you have my undying admiration. Unless you're just re-hashing old jokes, in which case you still have my undying admiration. What can I say, I'm easily pleased.

So with all that said, anyone got any decent jokes to share? If so, please share them with the rest of the class. I, meanwhile, will be working on my soon-to-be-fabulous "woman with a mongoose" joke.
