LiteraryFeline – OK, another joke, and it’s book-related:

NEVER ARGUE WITH A WOMAN

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?’ ‘Reading a book,’ she replies, (thinking, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’).

‘You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,’ he informs her.

‘I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.’

‘Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.’

‘If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,’ says the woman. ‘But I haven’t even touched you,’ says the Game Warden.

‘That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.’

‘Have a nice day ma’am,’ and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.

Your bar book reminded me of when I first began cataloging my books. I came across one I didn’t remember seeing before. The title escapes me, but it was a book about what men know about women and it was completely blank inside.

Ocean Potions . . . I can see thumbing through that one just for kicks.

Meghan – maybe it’s also a privacy issue for me. Although I just posted a photo of myself with Samuel Shem at a book-reading, so I’m not going to remain anonymous!

I communicate the same way on LT, I don’t think that makes us snobs! I’m just hesitant to friend people without response, I think, and find it easier to get to know them through their blogs or posts as well as through their books.

koolaidmom- thanks for the jokes. Must be a sign that I was tired … I had to read the second one a few times before I got it!

kegsoccer – It’s especially cute coming from a 3-year-old! and he understands it. He’s “ringmaster” (his word) in my nephew’s wedding this weekend and can’t wait to have a captive audience to share his jokes with (wearing his “costume”; that’s the tux!)

Marie – I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s reluctant to make the LT connections official “friendships”. Maybe I just don’t know what that entails (besides showing up on a list of Friends)

No, I haven’t really done a lot of friending either. I tend to wait for other people to friend me first!

Bar jokes… hehehehe… I’ve got a couple:

A string hops into a bar, and ask the bartender for a drink. Bartender says, “Get outta here, I don’t serve strings!” So the string hops down and out the door. Outside, he jumps around and twist himself all up. He hops back in and onto the bar and says, “Bartender, get me a drink” Bartender says, “Hey, weren’t you the string I threw outta here a minute ago?” and he replies, “No, I’m KNOT.”

My second one is really short:

Two men walk into a bar, the third guy ducks. (Pah-dah-dat… ((-: )
