Like @DRUNNER I too hope that this thread survives. There is some great, and generally pretty clean humor in here. @ricko probably takes the cake for the most, but there are a lot of great contributors.

I often copy and paste a joke or two, or a cartoon snapshot into my email and send it to my phone so I have a good funny ready if the opportunity arises.

I hope the moderators will recognize the benefit of this thread and not throw the bathwater out with the baby.

A wealthy man and his wife were having dinner at an upscale restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open mouthed kiss, then says she'll see him later and walks away.

The wife glares at her husband and says, 'Who the hell was that?'
'Oh,' replies the husband, 'she's my mistress.'
'Well, that's the last straw,' says the wife. 'I've had enough, I want a divorce!'

'I can understand that,' replies her husband, 'but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more BMW in the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours.'

Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.
'Who's that woman with George?' asks the wife.
'That's his mistress,' says her husband.
............. “Ours is prettier,' she replies.

Happy Labor Day all.

Billy-Bob walks into a bar and says, "Bartender, one round for everyone, on me!"
The bartender says, "Well, seems you're in a really good mood tonight?"
Billy-Bob says, "Oh, you can bet on it! I just got hired by the city to go around and remove all the money from parking meters. I start on Monday!" The bartender congratulates him and proceeds to pour the round.
Monday evening arrives. Billy-Bob comes back into the bar and says, "Bartender, two rounds for everyone, on me!"
The bartender says, "Well now! If you're so happy just over having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you'll be when you get your paycheck!"
Billy-Bob looks at the bartender with a wondrous look on his face, pulls out a handful of quarters from his pocket, and says, "You mean they'll PAY me too?"

Cheers, RickO

A Man Pulls Into a Gas Station in his Porsche, and a kid on a tricycle starts riding around him.
“Wanna race?” asks the kid.
“No thanks,” laughs the guy and drives off.

When he gets on the highway, the kid suddenly zooms past him. “Wow!” the guy says and floors it. He catches up and the kid disappears behind him. A minute later the kid flies past again. Astonished, the guy pulls over, only to see the kid come zooming backward, then forward again, until finally he comes to a stop next to the car.

The man opens the door to find the kid on his tricycle, wheels smoking. The kid pants, “Thanks for stopping mister. My suspenders got caught in your door.”

I am sure Heather knows how to handle this - I don't believe it will close.

This has helped many since Covid began - even if in a small way, it is worth the publicity even. Our hosts were smart in keeping it open here.

I had two different collectors mention to me separately they drop in here for everything from straight " soup to nuts numismatics and knowledge to a solid joke thread that started a few months ago".

It is a fact this forum is very much respected by many.

It is easier to remove a post or a poster that doesn't care about anyone else than just remove or close a popular thread.

A man needing a heart transplant is told by his doctor that the only heart available is that of a sheep. The man finally agrees and the doctor transplants the sheep heart into the man. A few days after the operation, the man comes in for a checkup. The doctor asks him "How are you feeling?" The man replies "Not BAAAAD!

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are raking the yard. The 6 year old asks, "You know what? I think it's about time we started learning to cuss. "The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues, "When we go in for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass." The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm. When their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios." WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!" She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?"
"I don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"

I nominate RickO for the Forum Comedian Prize.

A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night.

He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.

"What's with that big brass gong?" one of the guests asked.
"It's not a gong. It's a talking clock", the drunk replied.

"A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend.
"Yup", replied the drunk.

"How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it.
"Watch", the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet,
gave the gong an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back.

The three stood looking at one another for a moment.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed,
"You %$^&*%. It's three-fifteen in the morning!"

The first time I saw this classic sign was at a campground in Pine Island, FL;
