Apparently I'm shivering and comatose and feeling less than my usual high-voltage self because I'm "overtrained", according to my trusty and trusted advisor. It seems that five gym workouts a week plus three to four Pilates sessions a week is a lot. Who knew?
I have been advised to get under blankets and watch really bad TV. That's where I will be, and that's what I'll be doing.
So would you please entertain me? Tell me a joke. Something stupid. Tell me why the chicken crossed the road. Or knock me out with a particularly hilarious knock-knock joke. Or tell me about the priest and the rabbi. Whatever.
Do not send in the clowns, though, no matter what.
Thank you.
fresh-baked at 09:51 AMWow... that's a lot of training. Take care of yourself, and watch all the ABC soaps!
Hmmm. A joke.
What vegetable to you get when an elephant walks through the garden?
Squash!
Where do bee's go to the restroom?
The BP station!
I'll send you some more later. But really, take care of yourself.
Ahem...

Offered by: aaron on August 27, 2002 10:17 AMThis guy goes into a posh eatery, when the waiter informs him that he has to have a jacket and tie to dine there.
The guy, a bit agitated, goes to his car and gets his jacket, but he can't find a tie anywhere. In desperation, he grabs the jumper cables and, after a few awkwards attempts, ties a perfect windsor knot.
The waiter looks him up and down, then reluctantly agrees to let him in. As the man moves forward, the waiter cautions him; "Now don't go starting anything, OK?"

Leroy makes an appointment, and as luck would have it, they are able to see him that very afternoon. Leroy doesn't come home that night, or the next, or the next. Finally, he pulls up in front of their apartment building in a brand new Cadillac. He emerges from the plush ride wearing a full length fox coat, a wide brimmed hat (with a peacock feather in the band) carrying a gold cane with an 8-ball handle. As he struts up the stairs, his wife asks exasperatedly, "Where's you been?!?"
Leroy smiles, revealing new gold teeth with diamonds set therein. "The doctor said I's im-PO-tent. So I's figured if I is im-PO-tent, I gots to LOOK im-PO-tent!"

A piece of string walks into a bar, sits down at the counter, and orders a beer. The bartender growls at him, "We don't serve pieces of string here. Get out!" Miffed, it huffs out.
The next day, the piece of string pauses before the bar, doubles and loops itself over in the middle, then unravels its ends. Then it goes back into the bar and sits down. "I'll have a beer," it says smugly.
"I TOLD you we don't serve pieces of string here," the bartender growls.
"I know," it answers, still smugly.
"Well, aren't you a piece of string?" the bartender demands.
"Nope," it replies, "I'm a frayed knot."
