Laugh Letter - April 2006

Dear $$firstname$$,

Greetings from the Laugh Letter staff. May brings warmer air and sunnier days. With the ground having thawed, great gags are springing up all over the place. We hope this issue plants a few seeds of laughter. Some may come up rosy while others may get tossed to the compost pile!

Change of Heart

MORT WAS removing valves from his tractor engine when he spotted a famous heart doctor.

“Look at this work, Doc,“ Mort said. “I take out the valves, grind ‘em and put ‘em back. When I’m finished, this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks when you and I are basically doing the same work?“

The doctor answered, “Try doing your work with the engine running!“

Shedding Light on the Subject

TWO OLD FISHERMAN, Jack and Fred, were talking about their prize catches from the past week.

“I caught the biggest catfish I have ever seen,“ said Jack. “ It took me an hour to get it in the boat, and it weighed over 162 pounds!“

“Well, I didn’t catch any fish,“ said Fred. “ I threw my plug toward the bank of the mud flat. It hardly hit the water when something took it down, and I almost couldn’t reel it in. When I pulled it up beside the boat it was a big ball of mud.“

“That’s not surprising,“ said Jack with a laugh. “ You know there’s nothing out there but mud.“

“But when I stripped off the mud,“ said Fred, “t here was a lantern…and it was still lit.“

“Ah come on, Fred,“ said Jack. “ You don’t expect me to believe that, do you?“

“I’ll tell you what,“ said Fred. “ If you cut 100 pounds off that catfish of yours, I’ll blow out the light in that lantern of mine!“

Two for the Chops

TWO MEN went to a restaurant, and each ordered a pork chop. When the waitress brought out a single platter with their order, it had one big chop and one small chop.

The first man passed the platter to the second man, who helped himself to the bigger chop.

“If you had passed the platter to me,“ said the first man, “I would have taken the smaller chop.“

Said the second man, “I don’t understand why you’re complaining…that’s the one you got.“

Mixed-Up Signals

A NEIGHBOR asked Jed why he looked so down in the mouth. “It’s those two crazy mules of mine,“ he said. “I hitched ‘em up to harvest my field of popcorn yesterday. It was as hot as could be, and the temperature climbed so high that the corn started to pop right on the cob. Those two mules thought it was snowing—they layed right down in the field and froze to death.“
