I'll even go for a repeat...like waking up in her DHs underwear.

Marda---you are so right!

There was a nice lady, a minister's widow, who was a little old fashioned. She was planning a week's vacation in California at Skylake Yosemite campground (Bass Lake, to the uninitiated), but she wanted to make sure of the accommodations first. Uppermost in her mind were bathroom facilities, but she couldn't bring herself to write "toilet" in a letter. After considerable deliberation, she settled on "bathroom commode," but when she wrote that down, it still sounded too forward, so, after the first page of her letter, she referred to the bathroom commode as "BC." "Does the cabin where I will be staying have its own 'BC'? If not, where is the 'BC' located?" is what she actually wrote.

The campground owner took the first page of the letter and the lady's check and gave it to his secretary. He put the remainder of the letter on the desk of the senior member of his staff without noticing that the staffer would have no way of knowing what "BC" meant. Then the owner went off to town to run some errands.

The staff member came in after lunch, found the letter, and was baffled by the euphemism, so he showed the letter around to several counselors, but they couldn't decipher it either. The staff member's wife, who knew that the lady was the widow of a famous Baptist preacher, was sure that it must be a question about the local Baptist Church. "Of course," the first staffer exclaimed, "'BC' stands for 'Baptist Church.' " And he sat down and wrote:

Dear Madam,

I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure in informing you that the BC is located nine miles north of the campground and is capable of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people take their lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late.

The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to know that right now there is a supper planned to raise money to buy more seats. They are going to hold it in the basement of the 'BC.'

I would like to say that it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but it is surely no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort, particularly in cold weather. If you decide to come down to our campground, perhaps I could go with you the first time, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks. Remember, this is a friendly community."

A student was asked to make a sentence using the word "fascinate"

"My sister has a sweater with ten buttons, but she's so big in front that she can only fascinate."

(you have to read it aloud)(yeah, it's a groaner!)

And then there's the one about the engineer that goes into his boss' office. His boss is holding a tiny object up to the light. The engineer asks, "What is that you have?"

The boss says, "It looks like plastic but feels like rubber."
The engineer says, "Well, let me have a look at it." So the boss hands it over and the engineer rolls it around between this thumb and his fingers.
"Yes," says the engineer, "it's interesting. It's kind of viscous but also kind of solid. Where'd you get it?"
Boss says, "Out of my nose."

Jan, thank you so much! That was hilairious!!
Was she one of your relatives who met at 'Lil Abner's for the family get-together, perhaps? THAT one was CRAZY!!!!
If you get in the mood, you could always dig it out, for old time's sake---as Ed would say, "Iffen you want to."

Agnes, that last one got me good! ---Never suspected--gag!

I wish I had kept the one shoe post.
The older I get the harder it is to remember
all the details.

Maybe someone else here kept it..
Gotta go back to bed---folks, this is one nasty, scary storm. No lie.

Now I got coffee all over the place!

Went looking for One Shoe. Haven't found it yet but did find this...

Jan, that was very funny; Agnes, your "groaner" was good, but the engineer one was YUCKY!! However, I still laughed.

We're at 24" on the flat and counting.

Got so interested in looking for Jan's One Shoe forgot to mention the jokes already posted. Youse guys are really funny, thanks. Some new ones I have not heard before.
