I haven’t had a proper laugh in a while. What with economic strife and a shitty time at work I need a good laugh. Make me laugh. ---

Worth a chuckle, I think…NSFW. Came in email; “My costume for Halloween, a retired Hooters girl.” http:/ / [i28.photobucket.com/albums/c222/rhythmace/Hootersgirlretired.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c222/rhythmace/Hootersgirlretired.jpg) ETA, while I’m in photobucket, this also: “Bet if this guy had known he would one day go to prison, he _never_ would have gotten this tattoo.” Also NSFW. http:/ / [i28.photobucket.com/albums/c222/rhythmace/tattoo.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c222/rhythmace/tattoo.jpg) ---

Fuck off and die! No, I’m kidding, but I thought maybe the unexpected juxtaposition of rudeness in a thread asking for humor might elicit a chuckle. Of course, explaining the joke kills it, but I don’t want to make it seem like I’m actually being a douche. OK I’ll stop talking now. ---

From my daughter, the soprano; How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to stand on a chair, and two to stand in the background and whisper - “It’s too high! She’ll never reach it!” ---

To prove to an armadillo that it could be done.\* \*I have friends here in Texas that have lived here all of their lives and have never seen an armadillo except dead on the side of the road. ---

Three old guys are sitting on a park bench. It’s cold and the wind is blowing, but none of them says a word. Finally, the wind blows one guy’s hat off. He says, “Sure is windy!” The guy sitting next to him says “Nope–it’s Thursday.” And the third guy replies “You’re right! Let’s go have a drink.” ---
