Did you know that the dictionary describes a comedian as an entrepreneur whose performance is designed to make people laugh.

I think it was Joel or Rich who have said that laughter is a key element in running your business...I thought it would be fun to have a place to come tell jokes/stories that will lift our spirits and give us a daily laugh.

Ok...here`s one of my favorites:  A New Yorker Magazine cartoon --

Two dogs are standing at the bar, dressed in business suits, one dog (A Labrador) turns to the other dog and says They call me a retriever, but I prefer the phrase `go getter.`

Ahahahaha

Isn`t that funny?  No?  Your turn...

OK, I`ll play along. My brother just shared this one with me ... he left it on my voicemail as I was driving back from Phoenix to Chicago (I highly recommend this type of traveling to anyone...like laughing it`s good for the soul)

Anyway.....

A gorilla walks into a bar. The bartender is surprised to see him promptly sit down at the bar and order a martini. Baffled by what he had just seen, the bartender prepares the martini and returns to find the gorilla waiting patiently and holding a 20 dollar bill which he hands to the bartender.  The bartender thought this would be a good opportunity to test the gorillas intelligence further by giving him back only 1 dollar in change..........the gorilla says nothing as he silently sips his martini................. breaking the silence, the bartender says..."Well......we don`t get gorillas in here too often......the gorilla sips again at his martini and looks up saying "At 19 dollars a drink,....I`m not surpised."

I got an e-mail about mechanics from Quantas airlines. I`m not sure if it`s legit or not, but, it`s funny.
Anyway. These mechanics apparently right smart a$$ answers to problems reported by pilots. Here`s one that made me laugh.

Problem: Aircraft handles funny.
Solution:Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

Matt,

No wonder you`re an inventor...you have a biz-ar-o sense of humor...lol

As my beautiful wife and daughter are both blondes, I present this joke in love and trepidation.

The Blonde Goes Fishing!

A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She`d seen many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the ice. After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole. Again from the heavens the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." The blonde, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end of the ice. She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut her hole. The voice came once more, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "IS THAT YOU LORD?" The voice replied, "NO, THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE HOCKEY RINK"

Very cute.

OK, you started it!

Since most of us will need help from several professions in our business activities, it might be good to explore exactly what these professional types are like:

I man goes to the doctor complaining of chest pains.  The doctor examines him and tells him he will need a heart transplant.  After the appropriate testing and screening, the local organ donation matching service reports to the man and his doctor that they found three donors that are a match. 

One is an 18 yr. old track and field athelete that died in a car accident, one is a 45 yr. old woman who lead mountain climbing expeditions and the third was a 60 yr. old accountant who drank and smoked.

The doctor asks the man which donor would he prefer?

The man replied, the 60 yr. old.

Shocked, the doctor asks why.

Reply: Because everyone knows that an accountant doesn`t use his heart!

 Ouch says the CPA.

Hey, I`ve got at least one for every profession out there, and lawyers are just tooooooo easy a target.

And then there`s the one about the software salesman who dies and goes to . . . . .
