My Favorite Jokes

Some people collect baseball cards; some people collect cars; some people collect dolls; some people collect bottles--Gene Crawford collects jokes. He has done this since he was in high school. He has written many jokes from memory (from hearing them years ago). Also, friends know he collects jokes, so, they send them to him now and then. Jokes he shares must clear a hurdle--they must be clean enough for his grandchildren to read (they are ages eleven to seventeen). He's tried carefully to follow this rule, even though, in about three jokes, he did put in a few dashes (finish the spelling carefully). He doesn't know how many jokes he has collected--maybe about three thousand. But here are some of his favorite jokes. Maybe there are some jokes in this file that will produce some belly laughs for you--they sure have for Gene Crawford... and for a long, long time.
