Today's Jokes for Friday April 16, 2010 by Wendel Potter

Yesterday all MLB players wore No. 42 on their jerseys to honor the baseball legend Jackie Robinson....or as Chad Ochocinco likes to call him,  "Jackie Cuarenta y dos".


On Tuesday, in Tracy City, Tennessee, a dead man was elected mayor.  Carl Geary died during the campaign, but on election day he still beat out his opponent by a wide margin of votes:

Coincidentally, services were held for Carl on Tuesday night after the polls closed.  He was cremated.  When the crowd that had gathered outside the funeral home saw a puff of white smoke, they shouted, "We have a mayor!"


Members of the Tracy City Tea Party Movement are upset with the election of the dead man.  They demand that he produce a U.S. death certificate.



Congress has sent President Obama an 18 billion dollar jobless benefits bill that will extend unemployment payments for Americans who are out of work.  Unemployed supporters of the Tea Party movement will rally in Washington today to oppose the bill, saying that it smacks of socialism, that the government has no business sticking its nose in the affairs of its jobless citizens, and that they and their families would rather go hungry than accept a dime from such outrageous spending.





They've already made a hit movie about how European airlines are dealing with the shutdown of flights caused by that volcano in Iceland.  The film, which opens this weekend, is called "Kick-Ash".


And a thought for the day.....in the 1960s pop culture girls were called "birds".  Guys who watched girls were called "bird watchers".  Would that make them horny-thologists?
