New forum proposal: Humor

[Digit]

Definition: a message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter.

Too many fantastically funny posts have since scrolled past and are now in the archives. Not only funny posts, but humorous videos, graphics, jokes, and songs.

A forum for Humor would allow posts and cross-posts that could remain to tickle the funny bone of new visitors.

It will be a place to get a laugh, and/or share a laugh with other DU'ers.

Anyone?

5. One of my favorite jokes...

George W Bush has a heart attack and dies.
He goes to hell where the Devil is waiting for him. "I don't know
what to do with you", says the Devil. "You're on my list but I don't have room for you, yet I can't send you back. So I'll tell you what I am going to do.
I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you so I will
let one of them go and you can take their place. I'll even let you decide who leaves".

George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The Devil
opened the first door to reveal Richard Nixon diving into a large pool of water, surfacing, getting out of the pool and then diving in again over and over and over - such was his fate in hell. "No" said George "I don't think so, because I'm not a very good swimmer and I couldn't be doing that day in and day out".

The Devil took him to the next door which, when opened, revealed
Lyndon B.Johnson with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks.
His fate was to swing the hammer and break the rocks for the rest of time.
"No" said George, "I've got this problem with my shoulder and I would be in constant agony if I had to break rocks all day".

The Devil opened the third door and George saw Bill Clinton lying
naked on a bed with his arms and legs spread eagled and tied to the
bedposts.
Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George
Bush stared at this in disbelief and finally said, "Yeah, I think I
could put up with this".
The Devil smiled and said.... "Monica, you're free to go!"

11. LOL, good one!

I am all for the Comedy Group or Sub-forum or whatever!

[UL_Approved]

6. Yes, but as a sub-forum in the lounge

This is a great idea. Consolidate the jokes, make it easier to browse the humor when we need it most.

8. I don't care where it would be placed.

I would imagine there would be categories under Humor such as:
'Splain'n DU Humor: (the Moran tale would go here)
Best OF DU Humor: Like to see the Butt Crack Smiley Thread here, etc
Jokes
Videos
General Guffaws: Just for general belly laughs.

[Catchawave]

[CatholicEdHead]

14. Should contain area for political cartoons

This humor area should contain an area for politcal cartoon placement.

[Digit]

15. Agreed, I would love that.

I love poli-tickle humor. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

[NinetySix]

16. Definitely. How about a special forum just for nostamj?

Nostamj always did post the best political cartoons, and will hopefully come back again soon.

18. More Jokes as I request the Humor Forum...my kick

1.Two vultures board an airplane; each is carrying two dead possums. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two boll weevils grew up in the deep South. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too.

4. A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root
canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing
in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to
disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the
competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but
they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him.... what?
A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to
friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them
laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
