Do you train your friends to not send you internet humor? I do, or at least I discourage most of it but leave a couple of avenues open because several of my friends and relatives have very strange and entertaining funny bones. The other day someone not on my 'humor allowed' list sent me a list of 50 one-liners and a note that said "I'll bet that you wouldn't be ashamed to put at least a dozen of these on your blog." Let's see, remember he said a dozen. [added comments are mine]
3. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die [along with emptying the contents of 'that' drawer or in the case of certain friends 'that' closet]
9. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong [the measure of wisdom is what you say next]
16. There is great need for a sarcasm font [if only so people we are trying to insult would get it and visa versa]
21. Google maps really needs to start directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure by now I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
29. Bad decisions make good stories [and great blogs]
31. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call [Yep, I have two]
38. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still don't understand a word they are saying? [I did this once on a date, I was shocked when I later discovered what I had agreed to]
42. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important [I like juxtapositional humor. Two contortionists walk into a bar . . .]

So, 8 out of 50 not bad but not a dozen either.
Let me leave you with a blond joke from one of my unblocked sources.
A short, thin heavily spectacled middle-aged guy shuffles into a bar, sits down in front of the bartender and orders a shot. The bartenders smirks, assumes he didn't notice he had walked into a bar called the Dyke's Den, she serves him his drink. The man downs the shot and says:
"You wanna hear a blond joke?"
The bartender says: "Maybe you want to look up here first."
The guy looks up at the six foot two blond bartender as she says:
"Wendy here is our waitress."
Wendy has more tattoos than the guy has ever seen and she too is blond.
"Joyce at the door is our bouncer."
The guy swivels in his chair to see golden haired Joyce in full motorcycle leathers and a nasty look on her face.
"and Mary over there is the owner."
Mary seems to fill the door of the office near the back of the bar, she has to go 250 and, of course, platinum hair.
"You sure you want to tell a blond joke?" asked the bartender.
"Well hell no," said the guy "not if I am going to have to repeat it four times."
