My husband has gotten on the email lists of some people who send him off-color jokes. Most of them have to do with putting women down. He usually deletes them. Why do people find that type of humor entertaining? I like surprise endings, plays on words or strange twists, for example: What do you say when a cat wins the dog show? Cat ‘as trophy. What does a lawyer wear to court? A lawsuit. Did you hear what happened when the red ship collided with the blue ship? All the sailors were marooned. I know these are silly kid jokes but they don’t poke fun at people or make others cringe when they hear them. They may groan about how ridiculous they are, but they usually get at least a smile. I like the story about the little boy in Sunday school who drew a picture of a scene from the bible and added an airplane to the scene. His teacher said, “There were no airplanes at the time.” The little boy said, “Oh, yes there were. What about Pontius Pilot?” (sic)
