What, my response wasn't funny?
I do need to use the emoticons more and remember we're not wise-cracking face to face. I'm not all that easily offended. I'm just not so good with the 'net.

My favorite joke:
An Irishman walked out of a bar.
Joe takes his visiting Scottish cousin to a baseball game. Baseball is new to the Scot, so Joe is explaining the game as it goes. The visiting team's pitcher throws four bad pitches, and the batter tosses his bat toward the dugout and strolls to first. The Scot jumps up and shouts: "Run, man, run!". Joe pulls him down and explains: "No, he gets to walk, he has four balls." The Scot jumps up and shouts: "Walk with pride, man, walk with pride!"

There was this couple who had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years." "Yeah," she replied, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago." "Well," Granny snickered, "What do you say... should we get naked?" Where upon the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table. "You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied,"My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago." "I wouldn't be surprised," replied Gramps. "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal!!!!

This guy was lonely so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face against the centipedes house and started shouting, "Hey in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?
A little voice came out of the box:
"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my berkeleying shoes."
I only have two jokes that I can ever remember. A clean one and a dirty one.
Clean:
There is a woman that prides herself greatly in how she looks. Everyday before work she spends several hours working out and putting on makeup, etc. She walks to work to get the extra exercise and every day she passes by a pet store. One day there was a parrot outside and she was surprised and somewhat angry when the parrot proclaimed "your ugly!". She decided it was just a fluke and went on to work. The next day she gets ready for work again and thinks to herself that the parrot better not be there again today. Sure enough, the parrot looks straight at her and says "your ugly!" This time the woman goes inside the store and tells the manager that he better do something about the bird. The manager assures her the problem will be fixed by the next day. The next day the woman starts heading to work and notices the bird is still outside. She's a little bit angry about this but thinks surely something has been done. As she gets closer to the bird it looks her right in the eyes and says "you know"

On a balmy summer day, three friends go into a pub: an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman. Each orders a pint of beer. Because it's so hot, there are quite a few flies in the air, and one lands in each of the men's beers.
The Englishman primly pushes the beer back across the bar and asks for another.
The Scotsman picks out the fly, throws it onto the floor, and proceeds to drink his beer.
The Irishman lifts the fly out of the beer, holds it above the glass, shakes it, and commands: "Spit it out! Spit it out!"

A man is walking down the beach and comes across an old bottle. He picks it up, pulls out the cork and out pops a genie. The genie says "Thank you for freeing me from the bottle. In return I will grant you three wishes." The man says "Great. I always dreamed of this and I know exactly what I want. First, I want 1 Billion dollars in a Swiss bank account." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a piece of paper with account numbers appears in his hand. He continues, "Next, I want a brand new red Ferrari right here." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a bright red brand-new Ferrari appears right next to him. He continues, "Finally, I want to be irresistible to women." Phoof! There is a flash of light and he turns into a box of chocolates.
