Looking to Laugh

Can anybody tell me some Web sites that have humorous stories, jokes anything?  I want to send my sister-in- law some cheer (she's just found out she's got cancer).  She is amazing, when I talked to her she gave me inspiration instead of the other way around.  God help her and the rest of us.    

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law.  They say laughter is the best medicine.  Her positive spirit will probably be the thing that gets her through this very difficult time. http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/4908/laug hter1.htm

You can also send her ecards.  Hallmark has some great ones (I love Hoops & Yoyo) and they're free.

Sorry about your sister in law.

If you go to my Journal, I post daily jokes for all my CC friends.

You should look up "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey"... I'll post some here for you (cuz I feel like havin' a laugh too!):

Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.

It's easy to get some lumber, nails and a saw to try to build something.  Anybody can do that.  But what's hard to do is taking a nap while someone is hammering and sawing.

Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.

When I was seven, I told my friend Timmy Barker I would give him a million dollars if he would eat an earthworm. He ate the worm, but I never gave him the million dollars. As of last week, all I had given him was $9,840.

I thought a good way to get people to dig your flower beds for free would be to call the police and say you buried some bodies in your backyard. But here's the catch: They dig everywhere, not just where you tell them to.

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started.

So sorry to hear about that.  I have a friend who is dealing with lung cancer now and she keeps a blog about her experiences and she has an awesome sense of humor :) the result? her tumors are shrinking as of her last visit so laughter really does help.

This is a site started by a cancer patient and features cancer jokes it does have a sort of cautionary statement in bold on the main page that says you may not want to read them when you are first diagnosed... so maybe just point that out if you share it

and here is another one with information about humor therapy and how they actually use it to help in teh healing process.

Here you go

The Purina Diet

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow and was in line to
check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........ Duh!

I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her no, I was starting The
Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the
hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an
intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in
both arms. Her eyes about bugged out of her head.

I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I
told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is
to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two
every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally
complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now
enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her.

Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was
that why I ended up in the hospital. I said no.....I'd been sitting in the
street licking my butt when a car hit me.

I thought the tall guy at the back of the line was going to have to be
carried out the door.

Oh, Thank you so much every body and yes canadianchick I'll check out your daily jokes.  :)

This site really is the greatest!

Thanks Again

howtoprankatelemarketer.ytmnd is sooo hilarious! you need sound though. and its clean, but i wouldnt look at it at work. 

I am about to pee my pants laughing over the Purina Diet!!!!

I figured a little diet humor would go along way here.

Got a joke in my email that I thought funny enough to share:

Subject: Dog Food

Ask a stupid question.....get a stupid Answer!

I have 2 large dogs and was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out.

The woman behind me asked if I had a dog?  (Duh!)

On impulse, I told her, "No, I am starting The Purina Diet again.
lthough I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital the last time. But I lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms."

I told her, "It was essentially a perfect diet and that the way it
works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry."

I continued, "The food is nutritionally complete so I am going to
try it again."

(I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now
enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy who was standing
behind her.)

Horrified, she asked, "Did you end up in intensive care because the
dog food poisoned you?"

I told her, "No, I was sitting in the street licking my butt and a
car hit me."

I thought the guy standing behind her was going to need help as he staggered to the door laughing. Made my day too...!!!

amusement is twofold: that nomo restated #8...and that the joke is just as funny the 2nd time...

right you are kathy...

that's what I get for searching for a joke thread and then not reading it!
