I have been cleaning the den and going through old papers this week. Yesterday, I found a huge stack of cartoons and jokes, dating back to 1999. I have none of them online so I'm not going to paste them here.
But it did make me think about starting a new blog, just for jokes, and having it automatically publish a new joke every day. With Blogger, you can specify when you want the post to be published. Hypothetically, I could get all these jokes entered and publish them without manually publishing them. I could be a month or several months ahead of the current date and then magically, a new joke would be posted. It's kind of an intriguing idea.
But then I thought about how crazy my life already is, how I have a huge stack of CDs and DVDs to review, how the camping season is just a few days away (6/9), and how I start a new job (Yeah!!!!) on 5/31. Don't I already have enough going on in my life without adding another 'daily' type thing? But then I think about how I wouldn't really have to do much with it except type a few jokes. I could probably find the joke somewhere online and copy/paste it into this blog that would be only for jokes.
But who would read it? http://www.ajokeaday.com/, http://www.jokeemail.com/, http://www.freedailyjoke.com/, and http://www.emailajoke.com/mailinglist/join.asp already exist. Why enter into that competitive market?
I don't either. That's why that huge stack of jokes and cartoons just ended up in the recycle bin (blue trash can, not a Windows Recycle Bin) to be used for something more meaningful.
Except for this one from http://www.jokesonmobile.com/general-jokes/i-get-all-the-thanks-i-need-.php except this was one that was in my stack of jokes.
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft the skin from her body, so the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However, the only skin on his body that the doctor found suitable would have to come from his rear end. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before!
All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice.
She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied," think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
