"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 October

Jeff Wong,
San Francisco, CA.

A photographic mind of jokes, the Chinese Henny Youngman.

'Kit--

'Thanks for the honor. Twice. I would love the box of chocolates although I should go on a diet. I'm getting so fat that my shadow killed a dog. When I get my shoes shined, I have to take the guy's word for it. I went into Nordstrom the other day and said to the clerk, "I'd like to see a bathing suit in my size." The clerk said, "So would I." I'm so fat I had to give up my beeper...every time it went off people thought I was backing up. I was fat as a kid too...all I could play was "seek".'

Jeff Wong is a partner at the San Francisco law firm of Cooper, White & Cooper LLP where he specializes in equipment leasing and asset-based financing. He does both transactions and litigation.

Take my wife, please

What my father told me after my divorce was "Next time, find a woman you hate and buy her a house in advance, it'll be cheaper." My mother keeps asking me when I'm getting married again and I tell her I don't know because I can't find a woman I want to spend the next four years of my life with. My sex life has not been good lately. The other night after making love to my girlfriend I asked her if she was faking it. She replied, "No, I really was sleeep." We're into S&M now. She snores and I masturbate. We had to put a strobelight in our bedroom so that when we make love it look like were moving...
