Humor - Give it your best shot!
Through the events of this morning, I figured a good joke is a great way to get someone out of a "mood", "funk", "the dumps", call it whatever. So rather than posting it on my board, I figured I'd put it here and let everyone join in.
Let's help pull each other up a bit and post a joke that makes you laugh. Try to keep it clean (oops, just lost many of you
)
A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
He picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero" The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The man said, "I'm a computer engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool!"

Borrowed from an MFP friend (sure hope she doesn't mind!) -
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and George Bush are in a plane. The pilot says that the passengers must lighten their load. so the three presidents decide to drop one item. George Washington drops a quarter Abe Lincoln drops a penny George Bush drops a grenade.
When the presidents land, they find someone holding their head and cursing.
George Washington asks the man what's wrong. "I was walking down the street when a quarter falls from the sky and hits my head!"
So the presidents continue down the road and find someone hopping on one foot, holding the other, cursing. Abe Lincoln asks "What happened?" "I was standing on my porch barefoot when a penny falls from the sky and hits it!"
The presidents continue once more and find a young boy laughing hysterically. George Bush asks "What's so funny?" The boy replies "I farted and my house exploded!!!0 -

Here's a real-life story from when I was 15 that people always find funny (and I'd say it's fairly clean):
A couple of coworkers and I were talking about getting in trouble as teenagers and the punishments we got. It reminded me of something that happened when I was fifteen or sixteen.
I wore braces for a couple of years, as many kids do. After about the first painful year, I had to start using those stupid rubber bands. I don't know what the reason for them was, but Dr. Everett said I should so I did. To be clear, they were the ones that connect between the top and bottom teeth, not the ones that you kids these days get that change the color of your braces to fit your mood or whatever.
Anyway...the rubber bands came in different sizes and the size of the rubber bands in each package was indicated by a different animal picture (i.e. monkey, sheep, dog, etc.). One fateful day, Dr. E gave me a package with a picture of a ram on it.
I guess I must have left them in the pocket of some jeans I put in the laundry because about three days later, my mom called me in her room and sat me down. She asked me what I had been up to lately. I, being the perfect son that I was, told her (most of) the things that I'd been doing at that point in my life. I only left out the pot I'd been smoking but no mom needs to hear that.
She told me she didn't believe that's all I'd been doing. I was starting to get paranoid that she had found a bag or a pipe or something. I asked her "what makes you say that, mom?"
She said "I know what you've been up to. You've been having SEX!"
I said "Um....no."
Slowly, for dramatic effect, she pulled out a laundry-beaten bag of my "ram" sized rubber bands and demanded to know what in the hell they were.
Again, being the perfect son, I told her the truth. "They're rubber bands for my braces, mom."
Mistaking the ram for the name brand "Ramses," she thought they were condoms. I started laughing my *kitten* off. "Mom...there's like 200 in there....and they're only a quarter inch wide!!"
My mom thought I had a small weiner. Thanks, Mom.
On the other hand, she apparently also thought I was a small-weinered-scoring-with-the-chicks machine that actually needed 200 tiny condoms. Thanks, Mom!!0 -
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door.
The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife..
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it's 3am in the morning and it's bloody pouring rain out there!"
"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us?
I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!
God loves drunk people too , you know.
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.
He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes," comes back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband..
"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.0 -
A man walks into a bedroom carrying a pig wearing a bow. His wife puts down her book, looks up exasperated and frowns at her husband.
"This is the cow I have to sleep with when you have a headache" he says.
"I think you'll find that's a pig" says his wife
to which her husband replies "I think you'll find I was talking to the pig"0 -

**disclaimer** This is not meant to offend anyone. A friend of mine and I often share jokes that are a little racial in nature (my friend is black) so that we can get a good laugh. We also compare slurs that we've heard.
**So again, don't read on if you offend easily** the OP only said to keep it clean. I have changed all the racial slurs to more appropriate terminology.
There's these three guys, a Mexican, a white guy and a black guy. and they walk along the beach, they see this pot, they rub it, genie comes out. Genie says, "You wish for anything you want."
So, he asks, Mexican what-what he wants, and he goes, "I want all my people in America to be happy and free and in Mexico." And so, genie goes - Poof! And, all the Mexicans are in Mexico.
And then he asks the black guy, "What do you want?" And he goes, "I want all my African-brothers in America to be back in Africa and happy." So, genie goes poof! And all the blacks in America are in Africa.
So the genie says to the white guy, "What's your one wish?" And the white guy goes, "You mean to tell me all the blacks and Mexicans are out of America?" Genie goes, "Yeah." He says, "Well, um, I'll have a Coke, then."0 -

Wife out of breath once said, "wow, if I could figure how to get this vibrator to bring home a check I wouldn't need a husband!"0

My wife was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the T-shirt she normally slept in
As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly, 'You've got to make love to me this very moment!'
My eyes lit up and I thought, 'I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!'
Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all right there on the kitchen table.
Afterwards she said, 'Thanks,' and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.
Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, 'What was that all about?'
She explained, 'The egg timer's broken.'0 -

This is a touching story. Just when you have lost faith in human kindness, someone who teaches at Kean Elementary in Wooster, Ohio forwards the following letter:
The letter was sent to the Principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
Dear Kean Elementary:
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Sprenger Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. Her distress over the broken radio touched me and I knew this was God's way of answering my prayers. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my *kitten*.
Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,

This is a touching story. Just when you have lost faith in human kindness, someone who teaches at Kean Elementary in Wooster, Ohio forwards the following letter:
The letter was sent to the Principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
Dear Kean Elementary:
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Sprenger Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. Her distress over the broken radio touched me and I knew this was God's way of answering my prayers. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my *kitten*.
Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Agnes Baker
