Penny For Your Thoughts
By: Nancy Whitaker
Do you like to tell jokes or are you like me and it takes you a while to get the punchline?
I am not really good at telling jokes or “getting” a joke. Sometimes I will think of the joke days later, get the punchline and start laughing.
I used to play the keyboard with Harmonica John Wistner. We played many many shows and every at each show he told the same jokes. Plus I worked with John Wistner for 13 years.
The thing is, when I heard him tell the old jokes, I was to laugh as if it was my first time hearing it. It was a lot of fun and other people laughed which is the whole idea of a joke.
I love surfing the internet looking for recipes, music quotes and unusual topics. People are very clever and I know one thing though (I could never make it as a stand up comedian). I know I would get excited and probably tell the punchline first.
I recently ran into something which I found was funny and since we are telling about jokes what better place to share it?
