Admin Note:

A Humor List rule has always been no discussion on the mailings. This is as it should be. People who subscribe to a joke list expect jokes, not banter. But as an alternate, a Message Board is now available to ALL members (and guests) who wish to comment on previously posted jokes or those who enjoy a forum format: www.InsideTheWeb.com/mbs.cgi/mb212137

It is NOT intended as a site to leave messages or questions for the ListOwners, nor is it an alternate site to post jokes, but a place for messages intended for the entire membership's viewing.

Seems to me a "budget" is a way of spending all of your money without getting any fun out of it at all.

Overheard in the Mall: "But why can't we just pay our Master Card bill with our Visa Card."

Worried why her suitor hadn't even hinted at marriage, the girl finally asked him. He replied, "Sorry, there's no way I can support a wife, family and the Government on my income."

Any woman in the world will tell ya that one redeeming quality of an ideal husband is one who will insist that a wife buy something for herself against her will.

Our bank provides a sheet to balance our checkbook each month. Mrs JimJr always seems to come out perfect. I stole a peek at the last one, curious as to what her system was, & noticed one strange entry -- it said "ESP - $ 57.12".

I asked her what in the world "ESP" was -- she said, "Error Some Place".

When we moved into the home where we are now, both kids were still living with us. Mrs JimJr spent over two weeks working out a budget to include all of our expenses plus college for the kids. I told her that I was impressed, as I didn't think it was possible.

She said, "And for your part, all you have to do is figure out how to increase your salary to $237,000."
