Ah, here comes Monday once again, the day when people wake with foreboding to face the daily commute on a crowded thoroughfare or smelly train to get to the office. Don’t you wish you could drop it all and set up shop in rural America, where a person can WALK to the office (throughContinue reading “Back to the Cornfield”

Doctor, Doctor
Today, we find ourselves in the doctor’s waiting room, waiting for a laugh. Ah, for the pre-pandemic days, when the waiting room might be filled with Reader’s Digest, Highlights for Children, and Boys’ Life, all magazines which included joke columns, helping to preserve the traditional gags of our nation! Now we must rely onContinue reading “Doctor, Doctor”
All Rise
I know it is Valentine’s Day, and I know that half of you had a really good Super Sunday (while the other half of you ran out of spinach dip in the third quarter.) But it is Monday, and once again time for our Old Joke Quiz. (Look at it this way: how willContinue reading “All Rise”
The Course of True Love
Well, here it is Monday again, and do you know what it’s time for, Chocolate Lasagna? No, not getting to sit next to that lady with the mask-dislodging sneeze on your commute. It’s time for another installment of our old joke quiz. You say you prefer the lady with the sneeze? Well, there’sContinue reading “The Course of True Love”
Class Act
Ah, ‘tis Monday, our weekly Old Joke Day. Fear not: some day I will run out of the jokes from this joke quizbook I wrote in the 1990s, and will have to find something else to do. (And reflect that if some enterprising publisher had actually published this book in the 1990s, you wouldContinue reading “Class Act”
Interpreting Artifacts
It has been a while since we delved into the archaeology of humor as reflected in postcard art of the past (as opposed to our rather shallow digs every Monday.) More postcards come in all the time, and some of the jokes are moderately obscure unless you’re old enough, or are thoroughly obscure despiteContinue reading “Interpreting Artifacts”
Have Another
It is Old Joke Monday again, and I find that we are back into the chapter on bars and drinking jokes, which gives me an excuse to use up a couple of postcards I found too late to include in one of my postcards blogs a while back. You remember the rules: these areContinue reading “Have Another”
More On Your Plate
Ah, the first Monday of 2022, and our first official old joke day. (For newcomers, old jokes told the rest of the week are a matter of chance. Don’t think yourself safe just because it’s Wednesday.) As mentioned last Monday, we start again at the beginning of my brilliant but somehow unpublished oldContinue reading “More On Your Plate”
Jest Jumble
This Monday old joke quiz comes from the dainties offered in the Miscellaneous chapter of the original quiz book, which was the LAST chapter. But do not rush to a cliff’s edge, Shortbread Lasagna, I did not use up all the jokes in each of the previous subjects, so we may have whole Mondays devotedContinue reading “Jest Jumble”
Oops!
Ah, the Monday before Christmas, and what can you expect as a surprise gift from your Uncle Blogsy? Old Jokes? Not much of a surprise. Was it? The selection of gags from the Old Joke Quizbook comes from the section covering mishaps, faux-pas, and straight accidents, the sort of thing life tosses at youContinue reading “Oops!”
