"JOKE OF THE MONTH"

The rules are simple to win: No "xxx" jokes, sorry. Kit Menkin cannot win  (relatives, friends and employees can enter and win). Please note, if in the decision of the judges there is no "best" joke, a previous month may be included, and like in horseshoes, there are no ties. Winners of previous months can also win a second or third time - There is no limit.

Please send me your favorite joke. The first one to send it, not only gets the credit, but a good bottle of wine or a box of chocolate (the winner’s choice).


Winner for August

Wally Lunny of San Francisco/Glen Elen, California
is the Winner of the Joke of the Month for August

This is the second time he has won. He won in May, 1998.
His prize for a second time winner:

A case of 1997 Chateau St. Julien Monterey Estate Merlot.

 

Joke of the Month

Little Old Lady from Belmont

A CHP officer pulls over a little old lady from Belmont driving a BMW going 22 mph on Highway 17.

Peering into the window, he asks the old lady, "Do you know you were going 22 mph on this freeway?"

The old lady from Belmont replies "Yes - the speed limit is 17. I didn't want to go more than five miles over the speed limit. We are on our way to Los Gatos. I thought it was safe to drive five miles over the limit."

The CHP officer states, "The speed limit is 65 mph. This highway is named Highway 17. Those are the signs you are seeing."

He then glances in the back seat and sees two more old ladies, just jittering with fear.

The CHP officer asks "What is the matter with them?"

The old lady from Belmont replies, "we just got off of Highway 101."
