Here it is Monday, and I’m thinking of Tuesdays. For reasons I could no doubt Google but would prefer to make up myself, Tuesdays are the traditional days for elections. Many states are holding their primaries this month, a secondary sort of election. All of which makes a convenient lead-up to today’s Old JokeContinue reading “Office Supply”

Children’s Corner
We gave you a Monday off for Memorial Day, which we hope you enjoyed traditionally, at the graveyard and the grill. But now we must get back to excerpts from this Old Joke Quiz Book, in which you supply the punchlines to these vintage japes. We are starting to run out of the originalContinue reading “Children’s Corner”
Eyes On Your Own Paper
Hello and welcome to Monday Morning again. I assume, even in this bizarre decade of this wild new century that there are still a few million people for whom Monday is about to make a major shift. For it is May, and people are reaching the end of a school year. In recognition ofContinue reading “Eyes On Your Own Paper”
Matrimonday
Ah, a Monday in the middle of May: what could be more…alliterative. (Okay, a Saturday in the center of September. WILL you stop footnoting my introductions?) What subject would be more suitable for the latest Old Joke Quiz than Marriage? (You’d prefer Sex on a Saturday in the Center of September? Well, so wouldContinue reading “Matrimonday”
On the Road Some More
A recent expert on the subject discussed the use of postcards by our ancestors as documentary proof of travel. Your postcard of Dundee, Iowa, postmarked in Dundee, showed you had actually visited that metropolis. It was a signal to your relatives of your rich experience. I hope that doesn’t make you think I’veContinue reading “On the Road Some More”
Takin’ What They’re Givin’

Hooray for not having to loaf around at home in pajamasContinue reading “Takin’ What They’re Givin’”
Eat, Drink, and Be Harried
Ah, Monday: the dawn of a new week, a time for new beginnings, new challenges, new opportunities! And old jokes.

Moldy Miscellany
And here we are again, on another Monday, preparing to face the week. What is the one thing you need to be fully prepared? A good breakfast? Aspirin? A few red jellybeans? No, what we need is another old joke quiz? (If you knew the answer already, you are ready for both theContinue reading “Moldy Miscellany”
Hard Thinking
It is Monday, and time for another old joke quiz. The theme for this Monday is one which has perhaps changed its name with the new century. Once these were known as moron jokes, or dumbbell jokes, or some such. I prefer, as someone who has frequently decided to save time by washing theContinue reading “Hard Thinking”
The Animal Fair
Monday again already? That day of the week when this blog turns away from postcards I have for sale and reflects on a book I couldn’t sell? Why, yes! Yes, it is! Prepare for another quiz filled with old jokes devoid of punchlines, extracted from that quizbook I could not convince any publisher toContinue reading “The Animal Fair”
