"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 chocolates (the winner’s choice).
Winner for December
Rob Yohe, Stillwater, Kansas
RobYohe is a 20 year veteran in the financial services industry working for General Electric Credit Corporation, Westinghouse Credit Corp. and Denrich Leasing. Ten years ago, he started his consulting work in the leasing industry. Basically consisting of the placement of lease portfolio paper and development of funding relationships.
He has developed a very loyal client base and more importantly friends for life. On the personal side, Rob was born and raised in the Kansas City area (the Kansas side of the line) and while he has had the opportunity to move around the country he's remained steadfast in staying in Kansas City. He currently resides south of the Kansas City metro in Stilwell, Kansas with his wife of 17 plus years and 14-year-old son. He has a wonderful stepdaughter, son-in law and a 15-month-old grandbaby girl, whom everyone will tell you are his top priority.
Some might consider Rob that has been rather unfortunate the last 8 years suffering from degenerative disc disease, which after 7 surgeries over the years has caused him and still causes him great pain. He considers himself very fortunate to have the ability to continue to grow his company and maintain a positive attitude through it all. He is very grateful to all his friends and clients who have shown great compassion and support throughout. Due to his condition his physical activities have been limited far more than he would like but still enjoys watching Kansas Jayhawk Basketball games, his son's sporting events, an annual fishing trip to Montana and of course spending time with his granddaughter
He can be contacted at 913-851-8372 or e-mail at MLOST@aol.com
Bald Eagle
A guy is caught by a ranger eating a bald eagle and is consequently put in jail for the crime. On the day of his trial, the conversation went something like this:
Judge: "Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal offense?"
Man: "Yes I did. But if you let me argue my case, I'll explain what happened."
Judge: "Proceed."
Man: "I got lost in the woods. I hadn't had anything to eat for two weeks. I was so hungry. Next thing I see is a Bald Eagle swooping down at the lake for some fish. I knew that if I followed the Eagle I could maybe steal the fish. Unfortunately, in the process of taking the fish I killed the Eagle. I figured that since I killed the Eagle I might as well eat it since it would be more disgraceful to let it rot on the ground."
Judge: "The court will take a recess while we analyze your testimony." 15 minutes goes by and the judge returns.
Judge: "Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and because you didn't intend to kill the Eagle, the court will dismiss the charges. But if you don't mind the court asking, what does a Bald Eagle taste like?"
Man:
"Well your honor, it is hard to explain. The best I can describe it is maybe a
combination between a California Condor and a Spotted Owl."
