As the weather worsened at gravesite, temperatures plummeted, dark clouds hid the face of the sun; the last man approached the grieving widow and uttered one word:

"That covers everything", she murmured.

Did you hear about the kid in Florida who was asked what his favorite Florida fooball team was?

He responded, "Oh, I like them all... the [Miami] Dolphins, the [U of Miami] Hurricanes, the [U of Florida] Gators, the [Florida State U] Cinnamon Rolls..."

Apologies for repeating a joke I've told before on this website:

Someone stole my thesaurus. I'm lost for words!

You'd think a travel log would be about Riding Old Brown ...

On similar lines: What did Spock find in the Enterprise head?

I've been humming the chorus to "I'm a believer" all day. My wife eventually yelled at me to knock it off. That's pretty uncharacteristic of her, so I thought she was kidding. Then I saw her face...

I decided to get into bee keeping, so I went to a guy I know and asked to buy a dozen bees. He counted them out of the hive one by one, but he gave me thirteen. "I only asked for a dozen," I said. "Yes sir," he replied. "The last one's a freebie".

I'm not sure whether this joke is yet acceptable or already too mean, but as we are in the subject ...

"My wife ran away with my best friend Bob yesterday!"
"Since when is Bob your best friend?"
"Since yesterday."

Why do Marxists only drink herbal tea? Because proper tea is theft.

Edit: Apparently the quote is from Proudhon, and Marx initially agreed but later criticised the sentiment as self-refuting. But "Marxists" is snappier than "devotees of Proudhon".
