"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).

A
man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid.
It
cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art."
"Really,"
answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."
