Joe heard a rumor that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all walked on water on their 21st birthdays.
So, on his 21st birthday, Joe and his good friend Brian headed out to the lake. "If they did it, I can too!" he insisted.
When Joe and Brian arrived at the lake, they rented a boat and began paddling. When the got to the middle of the lake, Joe stepped off of the side of the boat... and damn near drowned.
Furious and somewhat shamed, he and Brian headed for home.
When Joe arrived back at the family farm, he asked his grandmother for an explanation. "Grandma, why can I not walk on water like my father, and his father, and his father before him?"
The feeble old grandmother took Joe by the hands, looked into his eyes, and explained, "That's because your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were born in January... you were born in July, dear."
I don't know if this counts as a joke, but based on the abby road joke I relate:
A few weeks ago I was in a clinic lab waiting room to get some labs done. There were over six different signs that said "No cell phone use!", "All cell phones must be turned off!" , etc.
There were 23 people in the room besides me and the staff. One was a young woman with a toddler all dressed up like spider man (mask included). She was preoccupied because the kid was re-enacting every stunt from the movies right there in her lap. All 21 other people were head bent down on their phone.
I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however.... to those of you who are placing Christmas lights and decorations in your yards, would you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together!!
Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police. I have to brake hard to slow down, I have to toss my beer out the window, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat. All this while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas.
Tom is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box.
The inspector decides to give Tom a pop quiz, asking: "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?"
Tom says: "I would switch one train to another track."
"What if the lever broke?" asks the inspector.
"Then I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever down there", answers Tom.
"What if that had been struck by lightning?" challenges the inspector.
"Then," Tom continued, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box."
"What if the phone was busy?"
"In that case," Tom argued, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station".
"What if that had been vandalized?"
"Oh well," said Tom, "in that case I would run into town and get my Uncle Leo".
This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?"
"Because he's never seen a train crash."

Subject: Christmas lights request.
Hello neighbor,
I don’t mean to be a Grinch, however.... to those of you who are placing Christmas lights and decorations in your yards, would you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together!!
Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police. I have to brake hard to slow down, I have to toss my beer out the window, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat. All this while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
