Today's Jokes by Wendel Potter

________


The U.S. ambassador to Syria is criticizing leaders there for their bloody crackdown against anti-government rebels.   Syria says it got the idea from President Nixon back in 1970 when he sent troops to Kent State.


A 5.8 earthquake hit Washington DC yesterday. It's the first time C-Span's camera has ever moved.


Over at the Smithsonian, visitors were amazed at the realism of the San Francisco Earthquake exhibit.


When the quake hit New York City, David Letterman was thinking,  What comes next?


The quake hit so hard it moved Conan O'Brien back to NBC.


You know New Yorkers.  They just thought their phones were vibrating.


NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg took cover under his desk during the quake.  Imagine his surprise to find Monica Lewinsky under there.


This was a powerful quake.  People on Wall Street said they hadn't seen things shaken up like this since Monday.




This was the biggest earthquake to hit the east coast since World War II.  It was so big, it jolted FDR out of his grave.  He was asking,  "How we doing with Japan, Harry?"




The quake had a big impact over at Kraft Foods.  The good folks in the Jello test kitchen were screaming, "It's alive!  It's alive!"


Very little damage was reported in New Jersey.  Oh come on, Jersey, this is your big chance to get some fix-er-up money from the insurance company!


The earthquake was felt in 22 states.  Or as Sarah Palin said, "In over half the nation."


.........all for now and thanks for reading!
