Laughter is the music of the soul
There was a tortoise called Joe
Whose progress was painfully slow.
He’d stop for a week,
Look around, take a peek,
Then unlike a shot, off he’d go.

Dear Lord of Hosts, Dear Lord Divine
Who turneth the water into wine,
Please bless this band of lesser men
Who can only turn it back again.

A laugh is just like sunshine,
It freshens all the day,
It tips the peak of life with light,
And drives the clouds away.
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong.
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music.
It lingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet:
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.
Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
THE SENILITY PRAYER
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

How can you possibly find your glasses without your glasses?
One evening in October, when I was one-third sober,
An’ taking home a ‘load’ with manly pride;
My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an’ lay down by my side;
Then we sang ‘It’s all fair weather when good fellows get together,’
Till a lady passing by was heard to say:
‘You can tell a man who “boozes” by the company he chooses’
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

To which the youngster replied, “Well, miss, you can’t say you weren’t warned!”
“Do you believe in life after death?” The boss asked one of his employees.
“Yes” replied the employee. “That’s OK then” said the boss. “Because while you were at your grandmother’s funeral yesterday, she popped in to see you.”
If all is not lost, where is it?
Kids in the back seats cause accidents and accidents in the back seats cause kids.

Eleanor Roosevelt
I just took a leaflet out of my mailbox, informing me that I can have love at 73. I’m so happy, because I live at number 68…so it’s not far to walk home afterwards.
A man is sitting at home on the verandah with his wife and he says, “I love you.”
She asks, “Is that you or the beer talking?”
He replies, “It’s me…talking to the beer.”
Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves fro they shall cease to be amused.
Due to current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off!
