National Humor Month Funny Short Joke Number Four

I would have been impressed, too, Kelly, if she could have read that tape measure correctly. But actually, she saw '63' on the tape and said, "Funny, I didn't know I was so tall - 6 foot 3?" I didn't add that cause I thought it was too much over the top. Literally!

Yes, by all means, share that Happy Birthday trick for remembering names.

Hi, christopher, me, too. I've met people with similar traits. The clinical term is 'ding-a-ling.' Don't feel badly if you forget your name after too much to drink. As long as you don't forget your address.

Happy to provide a nice morning giggling fit and jokes tonic. Thank you for the kind words.

Hi, Rosemary. I try to forget my age, too, but I'm here to tell you it does get easier as you get older, m'dear. You forget what it was you didn't remember.

Delighted I could perk you up ... now what was I talking about?

Laila - you are much too young to suffer from this malady. But now you have the cure - just hum the Happy Birthday song. Thank you for the visit and the Up.

We must know some of the same blondes, Pamela. It's a pleasure to help you start the day with a laugh, m'dear. The only way to go.

Of course she got the job, Ruby. Her porch light may not have been lit but her double D, if you know what I mean, made a strong impression on the interviewer. Heh, heh. Thanks for the funny and loving it.

Yes, she got the job, bp. Thank you for your concern. See the reason why in my response to Ruby above. Thanks for the Up and funny, m'dear.

Docmo - If you are laughing at the 'dyed by her own hand' quote, then we may share the same skewed sense of humor. You are so right - the old ones are the good ones - whatever! Delighted you love the 'happy birthday to you' trick. Comes in handy, y'know.

Good idea, tireesstraveler, the happy birthday song does work. At least that's what I've been told! Heh, heh.

I love this joke, Will, one of the very few I have not heard before. Thanks for the treat. Tell you what. Can you take a sabbatical and we'll go on the road doing a standup comedy act. Whatcha think?

What a profound comment, teaches, and very true: 'Diversity makes for equal enjoyment in humor.' That's why everyone and everything is my target. Delighted to provide laughter in your day.

Oh, no, oh, no, mary. Woe is me! You mean using white-out on my computer screen will not remove mistakes in my copy. Now you tell me! That was funny, too, m'luv.

Yes, Amy, she did get the job. Why? Because it was a work of fiction, not the real world. I understand what you are saying because I spent a great deal of time coaching folks who were older when they were outplaced.

Interviewers will still try to hire younger people and those with unbroken work records. Have you considered taking temp positions? Very often, even in today's world, a competent temp worker who may be older but is extremely capable and appears enthusiastic and energetic, will be hired by a company when a full-time position opens up. I know you have those qualities - now you just have to display them. Good luck, my dear.

Speaking of dummies driving cars, Vincent, are drivers on cell phones a problem in your area? In south Florida as I drive on the expressways - there are many - if I look at the drivers on either side of me as we pass each other, 90% of them are on the phone. BIG problem.

Delighted you bumped into (literally) Madonna. She reminds me of the Energizer bunny. Long may she keep going and going.

What a clever idea - sending misfits to your competitors. I interviewed so many people in my lifetime, I gathered enough stories to fill a book. Some of the really funny answers I heard are in my hub, "How to Interview (Un) Successfully." I think you could relate to it. Thanks for stopping by, amigo.

Hi, Feline, Thanks for the Giggle and the big laugh. Always a pleasure to hear you giggle - even from so far away.

What a great idea, Eddy, to share these jokes with Dai. Now he can keep his passengers in 'stitches' without hitting other vehicles. Just kidding, of course. I'm certain he is a marvelous taxi driver. It's all those other drivers who are careless. :)

Thank you for the Up up and away, m'luv, have a marvelous weekend yourself.

Hi, Martie, I guess this silly joke reminded you of someone who sang that song to JFK - right? She played the part to perfection. But I always remember, she WAS an actress.

I know that blondes are often seen as less than capable, beautiful or not, but I did take pains not to use that appellation in my story so as not to further the stereotype. Although the cartoon does feature a blonde.

Thank you for finding this funny, m'luv, and the Up vote. Hope all is well in your part of the world and a very Happy Easter to you.

Queen of Puns? I love it!

Thank you, Karanda, it is my pleasure to post a blonde joke you have not heard before. And the laughs are on me. Promise.

Very funny, KKGals, 'she could get a job as a door stop!' But stop laughing. She did get the job. Remember I wrote that her principal attribute was her beauty? And the interviewer, you will recall, was male. Nuff said.

So, Paula, some of your favorite jokes are blonde jokes. Me, too, even though - now don't bruit this around - I am a blonde. You mentioned that you have blonde friends that crack you up. Do hope, m'dear, that I am one of them.

Thanks for finding this as funny as I do.

Oh, my, I do believe I heard you cackle at this one from here, dear ps. And never mind if people once laughed at blonde you. I don't. I figure it's better than having them throw heavy objects at me.

You are most welcome for the laughs; thank you for the Angels.
