Besides all that, this joke was circulating about Jeb Bush, George Bush and Air Force One way back in 2001. I quit telling it after 9/11, but I bet plenty of folks here have heard it.

1. I never heard it,

but if it's from Florida, it's suspect.

Say! Where are YOU from, rzemanfl?????

[rzemanfl]

4. I'm from Wisconsin. the fl in my screen name is short for

"flatulent." That's all. I bet you live in a Blue State.

5. Flatulent?

That sounds like one of those elite musical instruments, like the swinet* or the foomp**.

Now that you mention it, yes, a lot of the time, I'm kind of sad. Thank you for asking.

*Swinet - four strings stretched across a pig's ass - you play it with your teeth.

**Foomp - four strings stretched across a cow's ass - played as if it were a swinet.

7. They got away............

but if they're headed towards the pigsty, it's a whole different story.....................

8. If a pig gets an eye infection,

what does the pig farmer say?

"There's a sty in the sty'?

2. That.Is.Perfectly.Dreadful.

But heck, now, don't we always forward jokes before we finish reading them?
Sure.
I know I do.

3. Not a good joke.

If it was really funny or clever, you could get away with just about anything. Beware of jokes that contain the punch line in the setup.
