Sta hi, share your favourite joke, rated PG-14, where you're from,. & why that place is funny; maybe a funny childhood story from your own childhood or someone you were close to,growing up? Jump in, have fun; reply to any post you read in here, should you feel the urge -- nothing you see is private. Do include funny content n every post, though, please (we call that an Obligatory Joke(ObJoke for short), when you add in an extra bit of funny to make up for off-topic chat content)

#1: Have fun or GTFO

#1: don't be a jackass; you're a guest in other people's home.

#1: every post must contain funny content (text)

#1: English(UK+CAN) is the natural language of the fully evolved human being, thus English is the echo's official language. Americanis American & English users may feel free to humorously(key) poke fun at Americanisms

Q: Why are there no knock knock jokes about the Fourth of July? A: Because freedom rings.

I was watching Mysteries at the Museum with my 8-year old daughter when they showed the quills used to write the Declaration of Independence, Constitution & Bill or Rights.

My daughter said, "that makes them the founding feathers, dad." I've never been so proud.

#1: don't be a jackass; you're a guest in other people's home.

#1: every post must contain funny content (text)

#1: English(UK+CAN) is the natural language of the fully evolved human being, thus English is the echo's official language. American English is American & true English<TM> users may feel free to humorously(key) poke fun at Americanisms

#1: grammar & punctuation is probably important -- mis-use opens yourself up to funny or punny ridicule.

#1: leave the moderating to the moderator(s); you may not see it being done, but we work behind the scenes often. If you have a complaint, echomail or email your mods; do NOT post into the echo (unless you're following rule#1 of course,
& being funny)

#1: This echo is rated PG-16; i.e. content should not be overly shocking to the average 16 year old (boy or girl); no porn -- that's elsewhere in cyberspace

#1: NO ads for products, services, echos, pages, or ANYTHING, except as you've sent to the mod, with agreed upon payment, & the mod posts it for you, following all rules.

#1: NO auto-posting (bots); this echo is for humans; if you can fully understand these rules, you are likely human.

#1: the mods are not responsible for any damage to your connection devices (including modems & computer & monitor) perpetrated by a moderator's use of the Freister Device (detects your personal(not BBS, not your fido upline) source system & sends proprietary signals to cause your disks, CPU, mainboard, & modem to die ("fry" from Freister, the inventor, & my friend)

#1: You have been warned

#1 Swearing should be kept to a minimum -- & only as befits the joke/thread -- we're adults here & should act & talk like it. If you're mixing them in randomly like salt & pepper, you're too young to be in here.

#1: These rules should appear once a month, but regardless if you've seen or read them, you MUST follow all, or delist the echo &/or visit others (&/or make your own, even!)

#1: We only roast the ones we love

#1: The End (or is it?)

APPENDIX i:
Remember: Even if some jokes in here seem a bit "difficult" for you to enjoy, that humour is not universal; this echo is for everyone.

The most important thing is:

#1 Have fun
#1 Include a joke in every post/reply
#1 Keep it all PG-16


Oh, fine, I'll give you an ObJoke or two:

Apparently if you buy cabbage from coles supermarkets you are legally obligated to buy carrots and mayonnaise
They call it, Coles law

I also knew someone who felt morally obligated to drive an economy sized Honda She felt it was her Civic duty

First off, WELCOME if you're a newcomer, or anoldcomer, recently returned; I appreciate everyone in this echo -- you're why I bother for as little as they pay me! YOU are worth it! (sure, that counts as my objoke inclusion for this post, if I want it to be it ;) )

Say hi, share your favourite joke, rated PG-14, where you're from,. & why that place is funny; maybe a funny childhood story from your own childhood or someone you were close to,growing up? Jump in, have fun; reply to any post you read in here, should you feel the urge -- nothing you see is private. Do include funny content n every post, though, please (we call that an Obligatory Joke(ObJoke for short), when you add in an extra bit of funny to make up for off-topic chat content)

Even the mod follows the obligatory joke rule! So what's YOUR excuse? NONE!

Pst a fleepoing joke or funny story every time you reply or post, pleaes!

Let's keep this echo FUN!!!!

No, that's obviously not my obligatory bit of funny, here we go:

ObPunnies:

This September, IÆm determined to ôleafö all my worries behind.

Some people are ôautumn-maticallyö happier when September rolls around. [not me, I love my summers too much!]

Embrace the autumn, itÆs unbe-leaf-able.

Cozy up, September puns are sweater than you think.

September? More like PUN-tember!

September is a-maize-ing, especially when youÆre corny enough to love puns.

& because even I keep to the rule to include a joke or funny story with every post let's see what October leads to. . .

September, October, November, and December should have been the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month.
Whoever screwed this upù- I hope he got stabbed.

Celebrate the month now, before it's completely Oct-over!

I always carry a pebble with me to throw at people who sing Christmas songs in October.
I call it my jingle bell rock!

ItÆs FINALLY October...
This means all the cobwebs and dust in my home just became Halloween decorations.
