Newspaper Jokes for Timothy's 17th Birthday


Along with the discarded novella version of Bryony, the jokes below were part of the birthday package.
Yes, I know number four is missing, deleted on purpose, a bit insulting (aka Ed Calkins), not fit for print. 

Anyway, these are just another example of my re-entry into creativity after many decades, before I went completely to the dark side. ;)


1)      Q: On Sunday, why did Timothy stuff more papers than anyone else?
            A: He was on a roll.


2)      Knock. Knock.
Who’s there?
Sun Times.
Sun Times who?
Sun Times I just don’t want to deliver papers.


3)      Q: Why did the daily bags not mind papers being stuffed into them?
A: They were hooked.

 5)      Q: Why did Ron get old fast by delivering papers?

A: A paper buoy.


8)      Q: When business got bad for the newspaper company, what did it do?

Pastor to retire from active ministry

He came into a parish with financial difficulties and fixed them. He addressed the HIV/AIDS issue at a time when few would not. He offered a holistic philosophy before that term became chic. AND he's hanging onto one portion of his community service, one he feels is extremely important to the community's future.
