It might be more fun as well for those who know music theory, but it's still hard to learn.

A man hits a dog with his car. He reads the dog's collar to find the address of the owner, and he goes and knocks on her door. When the owner opens it, he says "I'm sorry, but I was driving and I hit your dog". Seeing the owner's reaction, he hastened to add, "and I take full responsi...

Because that is not the question. Yes, there are other questions to be asked, but not all at once. Ultimately, we do not choose because the choice we are making is better than the alternative, but because it is better than not choosing.

Some of them see eye contact as a threat. Won't masks make that even scarier?

They're not used to seeing so many visitors now, and they don't even remember seeing masked people.

I think that's only kids. Although there is always some competition about whose worse off, like old ladies saying how much worse their medical conditions they have than the others. But with discussions about who's worse off, there are no undertones of "look at me, I'm superhuman". Sometim...

Are you sure everyone wasn't just being polite?

In the United States, it seems that people are expected to put most of their focus on their careers. A career is not just a way of making money to live on.

Yes, their food will not taste as good.

That's not what an allergy is.

Good point.

My wife: I went to buy cheese to make pizza today, but they were out of shredded cheese, so I bought a block.
Me: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
My wife: Well, it isn't grate.


Post more truly awful jokes here!

There are people who say that they smell okay, taste good, and are worth the sugar.

Yes, I am aware of the existence of liars.

How would that work? People should be forced to own two homes? Why would this force people to own two homes? Do people own two homes for summer camp? You mean we should have boarding schools.
