  • American Independence - The True Story  By : Roy Thomsitt
    It was late in 1775, and King George III was at Buckingham Palace, sitting in reflective mood on his commode. His 13 year old son Prince George (yes, they were very imaginative with their names, those royal types), was sitting on the floor nearby, otherwise occupied with the 18th century equivalent of Game Boy: a model soldier with a rifle sat on a model elephant, shooting at a model tiger two planks of wood away.

  • Political Humor: Are You A Dittohead?  By : Britt Gillette
    Years ago, Rush Limbaugh coined the term "adult beverages" to refer to alcoholic drinks. Yet millions of dittoheads across the Fruited Plain lacked a guide for making the best adult beverages. So I created The Dittohead's Guide to Adult Beverages, a collection of humorous dittohead recipes such as the Rio Linda Rouser, EIB Ecstasy Elixir, Club G'itmo Guzzler, and many more!

    Just try out these great recipes:

  • You Love Them Because They're Funny!  By : Heather Diodati
    For years I heard woman after woman say after obviously falling in love, "He's so funny! I just love that about him."

    Often after someone has lost a family member, they'll say "I'll always remember her smile, the way she laughed, the little jokes she would tell to lighten the mood."

    Could it be we love people who have a great sense of humor? I've always thought so. And now we have scientific proof of what many of us long suspected. Humor is one of the things we enjoy mo...

  • A Lawyers Favorite Lawyer Jokes  By : San Diego Lawyer

  • Compromised Positions  By : J Square Humboldt
    Words and sports often make strange bedfellows. This can even be evident when those in the game think they’re making sense. However, sense is one thing, context is another.
  • Eternal Wit  By : J Square Humboldt
    Whoever said, "You can't take it with you" was obviously not referring to a sense of humor. Here is a list of actual epitaphs from departed souls who clearly had more to say than the time to say it, or from their next of kin, who wanted to be sure they literally had the last word.
  • Misspelled Scriptures  By : J Square Humboldt
    The English language can be an effective tool, but it’s definitely a learning process that many in cyberspace haven’t bothered to complete. Could those writers have spent more time paying attention to detail when they were young? Probably. However, this did allow a few of them to pen an array of unintentional witticisms.

    Good News! Those pesky glaciers are finally melting off. At first, news of devastating global climate change might seem a bit of a bummer. Relax. Your faith is about to be restored.
  • Cashing the Czech  By : J Square Humboldt
    Virtually every captain of industry is a stickler for detail. That should have been the first clue that the late Robert "Cap'n Bob" Maxwell wasn't qualified for the title, even though he thought he was. An innocuous incident occurred in the mid-80s that underscored this point, and in the process, symbolized why the demise of his fraudulent publishing empire was inevitable.
  • It's No Joke, Laughter Is Awesome Medicine!  By : Chad Ferguson

  • Malice In "I Wonder Who I Am" Land  By : Godspenman

  • Montana People: Weird In Their Own Special Way  By : Jenny Harker
    We have all heard tales of strange people living in Montana; the Unabomber, the freedom militias, the poor sods stuck in the Federal Witness Protection Program.

    I assure you the majority of people living in Montana are friendly, polite, are reasonably sane, and will go out of their way to lend a hand to strangers.

    Now, I am a cynical Californian transplanted in Montana. I cannot help but feel suspicious of helpful strangers.

    Oh, the clerk wants to volunteer the use o...
  • A Silent Night — Not At My House  By : Godspenman
    People say, as they get older their hearing is not what it used to be. I have found this to be true for myself. The older I get, and I plan to get as old as I can, the more I hear noises in the middle of the night. Noises, I might add, that I have never heard before.
  • Dead to the World Man Walking  By : Godspenman
    One morning this week, I woke up with a black eye. How I got it still baffles me. I have my suspicions, of course, but some things are better left to themselves no matter how lonely they may get.
  • Rush Limbaugh Humor: 2 Adult Beverage Recipes Any Dittohead Will Love  By : Britt Gillette
    During the course of his celebrated career, Rush Limbaugh invented the term "adult beverages" to refer to alcoholic drinks so as not to offend mothers with young children listening to the show. But no insight was given on where to find the best dittohead adult beverages. That's why I created The Dittohead's Guide to Adult Beverages, a political humor book fans of the show will love.

    Just try out these great recipes:

  • Senior Ticked For Walking Too Slow; Others Try Roller Skates  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    An 82-year-old woman was recently issued a ticket in California for crossing a street too slowly. A police officer, who arrived on a motorcycle, told her she was obstructing traffic – and issued her a summons for $114.

    Responding to the uproar caused by the curious traffic ticket, the municipality has begun to wonder if it should work out ways to help seniors cross streets without fear of incurring a penalty.

    It is, of course, much too optimistic to hope that the munici...
  • Conversation In An Age Of Confusion  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    What do people talk about when they all believe different things and nobody is sure what the other person believes?

    Then you add to that the usual courtesy that most people don’t want to offend other people, especially when it comes to the topics people disagree about with the most intensity, such as politics and religion, which all but the most foolhardy consider way off limits, at least, in what is referred to as polite conversation.

    Actually, the silence of the times...
  • Rumsfeld Appoints Self Retired General; Rushes To Own Defense  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    Donald Rumsfeld, under fire from a platoon of retired generals who have called for his resignation, went on the offensive by appointing himself a retired general.

    Accompanied by a currently employed general, who, as the head of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, is his usual sidekick, he stated, “As The Secretary of Defense, I think I should at least be on an equal footing with a retired general, and, after careful consideration, I decided to become one.”

    A reporter then asked,...
  • The Illogical Puppet Of Iran: Any Chance Of Getting The Little Guy A Better Script?  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    First, we learned to say and spell the puppet’s name: Armadinejad. Not exactly Smith. Then we watched him perform upon a crafty mullah’s knee. We have been patient, like any fair-minded audience, but the more we listen, the more we realize that the puppet has a script that just doesn’t make sense.

    He raises one hand and, without the mullah appearing to move his own lips, practiced ventriloquist that he is, little Armadinejad threatens to “wipe Israel off the map” and blust...
  • Saddam Hussein Seeks Mcdonald's Francise  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    Saddam Hussein, in his latest bid to escape execution for crimes against his own people, has applied to McDonald’s for a franchise. The application is widely regarded as a move by his defense team to convince the court that, if his life is spared, he will be a model citizen in the Iraq of the future.

    In his application, Hussein states that he has a great deal of fast-food experience from his months on the run. He also states that, if granted the franchise, he will cease an...
  • The Headless Horseman Of Mass Media: Information Everywhere, Philosophy Nowhere  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh
    Did you ever notice that we’re surrounded by information but hardly ever come across an idea in the media that might help us lead sane and happy lives? Oh, not the usual self-help drivel about how to lose weight or enjoy sex, but answers to the really big questions, like what to think about when you wake up in the morning and how to drink water out of a plastic bottle without burping.

    Try this experiment. Next time you go up to your favorite newsstand, scan all the overwro...
  • A Page From Betty Crocker's Cookbook  By : Godspenman
    Recently, while sitting in my chair drinking the last of my breakfast coffee, a thought staggered into my mind. I must confess most thoughts are quite lonely once they enter my mind, but this one had a nagging element to it.
  • Gas Prices Go "Gas-Tronomical!"  By : Tom Attea
    Recently, the price of gas has gone up approximately three or four times a day, depending on how energetic the person is who climbs up and changes the prices at your favorite filling station, until the only word for the skyrocketing astonishment is "gas-tronomical!”

    President Bush took a bold stance on the issue, saying, ““Americans understand the price of crude oil is going up but they will not accept manipulation of the market. And neither will I!”

    Proud words, perhap...
  • France Attacks Iran: U. S. And Britain Object  By : Tom Attea
    France, casting aside its usual insistence on diplomacy, even when it’s obvious to every person who happens to be alert that it can’t work, finally grew impatient with Iran’s centrifuge-rattling behavior and launched a unilateral attack on it.

    As French mirage jets swooped down on Iran’s nuclear facilities and French troops launched a land assault from warships in the Persian Gulf, the United States and Britain voiced immediate objections.

    President Bush said, “I just d...
  • Russia Defends Iranian Nuke Program; Considers Position Good Customer Service  By : Tom Attea
    While the civilized world has reacted with horror at Iran’s plan to harness the energy of the atom, as in bombs away, Russia has steadfastly defended the menacing mullahdom’s nuclear ambitions.

    At first, any person distinguished for responsible behavior is taken back by such apparently reckless advocacy, not only because it seems wildly risky, if not outright self-destructive, but also because one does not expect it from people who have decided to present themselves as suc...
  • U.S. Ends Oil Dependency; Turns B.S. Into Fuel  By : Tom Attea
    While America is experiencing a gasoline shortage, the nation’s dependence on foreign oil is about to end.

    A researcher at The Department of Energy, from which breakthrough ideas emanate on a regular basis, noticed that Americans, along with most people who ever lived, have a virtually unlimited and renewable supply of B. S. He wondered if it might be turned into fuel.

    The hypothesis proved so promising that his work produced a marvelous result in as short a time as it ...
