Laugh, Why Don’t You
July 13, 2020 14
Two punch lines walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What is this, a setup?” I don’t hear you laughing. Maybe you’re not laughing because the joke isn’t that funny (I doubt that, but perhaps). Maybe you’re not laughing because the joke is funny but the punchline is a bit obscure (i.e. using an old […]

The following article was written in October 2001 after I was repeatedly asked about the appropriateness of humor after the 9/11 attacks. It also appeared in my first book, “Is Your Glass Laugh Full?” Since we are all going through a challenging time with the Coronavirus, I thought it might be helpful to share it […]

Since many of us are homebound and attempting household projects, I thought I’d share an article that originally appeared in the Herndon Observer Newspaper and then later in my book, If Not Now, When?

The word antenna is becoming one of those words that is only familiar to people over a certain age. I must be one of those people because when I was young, there was an antenna on everything—our car, our house, and our radio. Today, antennae are few and far between. But the purpose of those […]

One of the common questions funny people get asked is, “How does the lint get into my belly button?” This is a fair question. I’m not a doctor, but I believe it has something to do with our daily intake of fiber. The most common question funny people get asked is, “How did you get […]

Thanks to my friend Lisa Rochlin Novick for this hilarious story. I have friend who is a Catholic priest. His name is Father John. The other day he told me this story: He was asked to preside over a wedding and the groom’s name was Rusty. But Father John called him “Randy” during the ceremony. […]
