Penny For Your Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By: Nancy Whitaker <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you like to tell jokes or are you like me and it takes you a while to get the punchline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not really good at telling jokes or \u201cgetting\u201d a joke. Sometimes I will think of the joke days later, get the punchline and start laughing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently ran into something which I found was funny and since we are telling about jokes what better place to share it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subject is : VanGogh Family members and it seems as if he had many including;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dizzy aunt — Verti Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brother who ate prunes — Gotta Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brother who worked at a convenience store — Stop N Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grandfather from Yugoslavia — U Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His magician uncle — Where-Diddy Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Mexican cousin — A Mee Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican cousin\u2019s American half-brother — Gring Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nephew who drove a stage coach — Wells-Far Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The constipated uncle — Can\u2019t Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ballroom dancing aunt — Tang Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bird lover uncle — Flamin Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aunt who taught positive thinking — Way-to-Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little bouncy nephew — Poe Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sister who loved disco — Go Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And his niece who travels the country in an RV — Winnie Bay Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fruit loving cousin— Mane Gogh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course,  the above writing is on several different websites but I liked it. Did you? Of course, you did, I saw you smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think Van Gogh would like his relatives? Do you think he would have smiled? Let me know and I\u2019ll Give you a Penny for your Thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
