I suspect some of the others are urban myths as well. Doesn't stop them being amusing though.

1365093 2014-01-15 00:41:00 I thought Monday laughs were jokes.
Bogus lists are not jokes.

There is some humour in some of those on the list.

But surely it does not matter. Interesting the list is and interesting is great!

Thanks so much, Billy. Don't worry about the naysayers, just keep up the good work. The Monday Laughs are looked forward to by the majority - the majority have spoken by their silence. Only one complaint out of hundreds of views. Personally, I would not be worried by one voice in the wilderness. Good to see that you are not.

Little Doris went home from school and told her mum that the boys kept asking her to do cartwheels because she's very good at them.

Mum said, "You should say "No" - they only want to look at your knickers."

Doris said, "I know they do. That's why I hide them in my bag!"

Funny thing is, I've never looked at the number of views :blush: I just take it for granted that somebody somewhere out there would read it and maybe have a chuckle or two.

Good god, I may even have a following! If so, I hope they disseminate the laughs (and groans) far and wide!

Maybe I could start a Cult, or even a Movement......:D



Oh dear! I think I'm starting to feel the unbearable weight of performance anxiety..... :horrified
