    Longtime friends of The O.F.W.T.J. (Old Men Who Tell Jokes) Society know that I tend to intersperse jokes with true stories, with the occasional “could-be” anecdote thrown in here and there for good measure. I thus present the following probably-true story about an old hoofer/movie star/curmudgeon:Julius Marx, known to most of us as Groucho, loved his cigars, whether on stage, a movie set, or just out-and-about. One day, as he boarded an airplane, he asked the stewardess – this was decades before the term “flight attendant” was introduced, as well as a long time before smoking was banned on all flights – if he could smoke a cigar on the plane.“I suppose so, Sir, if you don’t annoy the ladies,” she replied.Groucho’s eyes lit up and his brows raised. “You mean I have my choice?”

    One time I got $6,000,001. Why not use that money to work on paying off the national debt instead?

    May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

    That’s why it so hard to hit a rabbit even with a rabbit swatter.

    Is there a way to get a bag or two of that compost? My garden might like it.

    There are some plants you can’t use that compost on. It’s too rich.
