zaphod,That wasn't nice for you to beat me out of 115! Just kidding.

@claudine I assure you that if I would have known that it was you with the 115 I wouild have rather eaten dirt than beat you. You are among the few who has a sense of humour and I always yield to those. By the way you never posted how succesful you were with the rugelach.

All I can say is,it was not a hit with my family,especially my husband.I thought it was pretty good myself.

We have now accumulated so many jokes that we could just number them and then if we wish to recall any one, we would just call out the number. That reminds me of an old story. Before the war there were travelling salesman who went from city to city promoting the products they were representing and taking orders. In Europe they travelled by train. Most were known to each other and thus they tended to congregate in a known part of the train. They passed the time telling jokes. After a while all jokes were known so they numbered them. If they wanted to tell a joke they just called out the allocated number. One day a new salesman joined them in their compartment. He noticed that one of the salesman calls out a number and then all laugh. When he asked what is going on they explained the process. So it continued. Later one calls out a number and all laugh but one laugh much heartier and longer. So he asks him: "Why did you laugh so much heartier?" The man responds: " This was the first time that I heard that joke!". And so it continues. One calls out a number and then all laugh. After a while a number is called, but nobody laughs. So he asks again: "Why did nobody laugh at that joke?". They respond: " Dont you see how he killed the punchline?"

That was a good one @zaphod, I will leave it in your capable hands to number the jokes...

HaHa. I give you @harleyman here # 106 and to @claudine, as she asked for it # 115, and hope that you both will like it HaHa

I am speechless !

Now how did I achieve that? Never before did I find you lacking for words.

Mummmmmmmmm

@harleyman: To help you to stop being speechless here are a few Paraprosdokians specially collected for you. Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous. Winston Churchill loved them. > 1. Where there is a will, I want to be in it. > 2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it is still on my list. > 3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. > 4. If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong. > 5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. > 6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. > 7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. > 8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. > 9. I did not say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. > 10. In filling out an application, where it says, - In case of emergency, Notify: - I put in A DOCTOR !. > 11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. > 12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. > 13. I used to be indecisive. Now I am not so sure. > 14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. > 15. Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. > 16. You are never too old to learn something stupid. > 17. I am supposed to respect my elders, but it is getting harder and harder for me to find one now. And by the way I give this joke number 2007.

LOL, I just fell outta my chair !!
