Love it! I enjoy your joke threads...sigh, jokes used to be an everyday part of life, but...now, it seems like everyone has completely lost the ability to tell or laugh at a joke.
(Could just be my joke-telling, though...:)
It did make me think of the now famous James O’Keefe caper (to prove a point about how idiotic politically correct speech is on campus) when he was in college, where he went into a campus administrator’s college to complain about St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and how it is offensive to his Irish heritage...that “people think I Irish people are short and wear green coats...and then went on to convince them to ban Lucky Charms from being served in the cafeteria!!!!
I make a point when I’m at library, estate, and/or yard sales of picking up every old joke book I see. Don’t care about the condition, topic etc. Most are related to ice breakers for speeches but some are just straight runs of jokes on various topics.
There are a fair number of repeats across the books, but without fail I always discover a few new ones in those old tomes that I just can’t stop picking up new ‘old’ ones.
