			<description><![CDATA[ I thought it would be fun to start a joke thread because we all know there are days when you can use a little laughter.  It has often been said that laughter
is the best medicine, and that keeping a sense of humor throughout life can be vitally important to a person&#39;s physical and emotional well-being.
<br>
<br>
Please keep all jokes suitable for all ages.  Keep them clean, and keep your sense of humor! :)
