Was asking around friends for their favorite jokes especially
original jokes but it seems that we have been pampered with
emailed jokes going around the internet... recycled, resent,
yes re-blogged a hundred times. And at times, you recognize
hey, this is my original joke, this really happened to me decades
ago and was sharing it to some friends.
I have jokes which never fail to amuse me whenever
I remember them.
And I have jokes which I really share only with some particular
friends, and we know that these jokes have a special bonding
among us like a secret code known only to the anointed in our clique.
Yesterday, my friend Bing forwarded me this email coming
from another hotmail add holder. I have tagged it following the
original title of the subject, Lost in Translation, and I added
jokes from bing.
If you have not received this forward, I would like to share them
with you as especial posting for today, April 1, April Fool's Day.
And if you know the original source of this collection, please do let me know.
Enjoy them! ( The jokes, I mean.)
