Hi everyone! This has been sort of a silly week on the list - with comments by Jethro, directions on how to get from Boston to Cambridge, reflections on the status of the "colonies", etc. Anyone venturing onto the Parkinsn list for the first time would be sure to think he had a major glitch in his system. Since I am an avid fan of anything silly and believe that laughter is good "medicine'. I'd like to add my favorite joke to this week's merriment. Warning! The subject matter is slightly bawdy (nothing that would get me kicked off the www but if you're easily offended, press delete here). _________________________________________ A man was celebrating his 100th birthday and his friends wanted to get him something really special to celebrate the occasion. But what does one get for a person so elderly? Finally one of his friends came up with an idea. " Let's pool all our money and hire the best, most expensive call girl we can find." All of his friends agreed. On the day of the birthday the old gentleman was sitting at home when the doorbell rang. He tottered to the door and there on the doorstep was the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen. She leaned close to him and whispered in a seductive way, "I've come to bring you SUPER sex." The old gentleman thought this over for a moment and then said, "I think I'll take the soup". ------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for all the laughs I've gotten on the list. I share all of the jokes with a good friend who has ALS. I try to bring her one funny item a week but sometimes can't find a new joke or story. Does anyone know if there's a site for humor on the web? Anyone have a good joke to share? It's good to know that PD doesn't affect the funny bone. Mary Sheehan
