I hope these jokes bring a smile and a reminder that quitting smoking, while challenging, can also have moments of humour and triumph! 1.      Why did the guy trying to quit smoking start telling jokes?

In an unexpected turn of events, governments around the world have come together to address a looming global crisis — the shortage of workers. In a move that has left many in disbelief, retirement has been officially outlawed, effective immediately.

 This is a post that I posted a few years ago, but it was posted on another blog. The author said that he found it on the Internet, I found it via email but the reality is that these people walk among us and they vote. I was at the McDonald’s Drive Thru and gave […]
