I said that that other was the last post but wait there's more! Another Friday! Tough times require laughing every chance we get. Enjoy every minute!

Alabama Joke (my little dog Coco came from a shelter in Alabama - not sure if she had a banjo on her knee)
When a visitor to a town in Alabama spotted a dog attacking a boy, he grabbed the animal and throttled it with his bare hands. An impressed reporter saw the incident and told him the next day's headline would scream "Valiant Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal.""I'm not from this town," said the hero."Then," the reporter said, "it will say 'Alabama Man Saves Child by Killing Dog.'""Actually," said the man, "I'm from New Hampshire.""In that case," the reporter grumbled, "the headline will be 'Yankee Kills Family Pet.'"

Illinois Joke (I'll send this one out for John and Melissa)
This is how Chicago got started. A bunch of people in New York said, "Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough."
