On the Lite Side

Welcome to the land of my alter ego.

Everyone needs a life goal or two. One of mine was to perform standup comedy. I don’t expect to make it to the Jay Leno show anytime soon—I can’t even stay up late enough to watch the show. But I do perform for various groups and clubs around town, and I thought you’d enjoy some of my original jokes.

I recently taught an online class: The Art of Writing Jokes. The students were incredibly clever and creative. They've agree to let me share the fun and their original jokes with you.

Come back often because we’ll be changing the jokes every couple of weeks.

My being a writer is sometimes hard on my husband. He almost had a stroke last week when he found me reading a baby naming book. He raced into the bathroom and flushed all his Viagra pills down the toilet. My being a writer is sometimes hard on my husband.

I don’t need to use Botox. I let my fat fill in the wrinkles for me. Besides, at my age, I don’t want to paralyze what few muscles I have left.
