This section I wanted to add, to encourage people to lighten up in the midst of all the doom and gloom, and post non-harmful and non-sexist/ racist jokes about maybe themselves, or their culture or whatever. We all need to be able to take a joke, in good taste.
I'll start with one about me own kind, Aussies.
A young Japanese boy asked his master one day; "Master, What does 'IQ' mean?"
The master replied; "It is what determines someone's intelligence. A person with a very high IQ is a genius, while a person with very low IQ can't do even the most simple things, like tie their shoes."
The young boy replied; "Is that why Australians wear thongs?"
:-P

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar one day and sat down to drink a beer.
After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said,
"Who owns the big white horse outside?"
The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, "I do. Why?"
The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you would like to know that your horse is just about dead outside!"
The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough, Silver was about dead from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got him some water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.
The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better."
Tonto said, "Sure Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink.
A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and announces,
"Who owns that big white horse outside?"
The Lone Ranger stands again and claims, "I do. What is wrong with him this time?"
The cowboy says to him, "Nothing much, I just wanted you to know -
you left your Injun running..."
A pessimist's blood type is always b-negative.
I fired my masseuse today. She just rubbed me the wrong way.
I used to work in a blanket factory, but it folded.
Well today I found rest for my soul:
I looked around me and looked at the things around me that I never finished. So I decided to finish it all today!
So I started with the Vodka, then the Brandy, then the 4 bottles of red wine, the 2 bottles of white wine, then the Jack Daniels, then the "Mampoer", the M&M's, the Ice cream, the slab Chocolate, (mind all of them was half)
And you know what! You have NO idea just how calm I am right now. I frankly do not give a @#$! Cheeerchh!
