Legally Rambling (9/23/2009)
Ok, so I'm an over fortyish lawyer/accountant type with expansive interests who longs for the simple days of my youth. A youth filled with fun and laughter. Laughter whose origination often stemed from simple and often stupid jokes told by my grandfather, great uncles and other men of their generation. Knock Knock, Lawyer and Other Jokes, material that would instantly bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart.
So where have all the jokes gone? In an era where almost every joke is available on the internet no one is telling them. Well at least not in adult company. Why? In an era of the iphone and applications have we really forgotten how to tell a simple joke? Are we really too busy to enjoy them? Or as a society have we evolved so much that we can't appreciate them? I think not.
Over the last few weeks I have interjected Knock Knock jokes, Guy walks into a bar with ..... jokes, and Lawyer jokes into polite and professional conversations, e-mails, Facebook and frankly any where I can get them in. The kids love them. Tell me more, tell me more, I hear the kids say with glee. I almost feel bad when I run out of jokes. The adults, first smile, then resist and then say tell me the joke. You can really tell alot about a person in how they respond to a joke. Its all there. The good and the bad. Its a great test for future dates. We are all so serious today. But, hey, you get the smile. Its OK to tell and enjoy a joke. So go make people happy and tell a joke.
Knock, Knock
