The cartoons, jokes, pictures, videos, and music below are simply ones that have brought a smile to my face or even a good belly laugh. A couple have reduced me to tears! Others just make me say, "hmmm" and yet others just reflect who I am at the moment. They have mostly been gathered through the generosity of my social media friends, most of whom have the same bizarre sense of humor as I, but I have actually managed to find many myself as I surf the Internet. So sit back, enjoy and go ahead, laugh out loud. I did.

My husband and I enjoy watching AGT aka America's Got Talent on television. We enjoy the talent and bypass those who just need their 5 minutes of fame. One audition that left us speechless was Courtney Hadwin - a shy 13 year-old who sang "Too Hot to Handle."
It all begin with a sense of innocence ... but oh, my ... grandma's giggle is contagious as she reads this silly book to her grandson. 4.7M views on YouTube!
This isn't funny, but I wanted to share it anyway ...
I made this my profile picture today because I support marriage equality ... then I noticed my Facebook fans dropped by about 20 people ... yeah, no loss.
This is not a judgement, just an observation. Peace.
Update ... I have now 'lost' 46 friends, according to another friend who is, for some strange reason, monitoring my friends. LOL ... again ... no loss ... spare me from people who judge other people. Oh, is that judgment? Tough.

Tom's Lehrer's take on National Brotherhood Week is funny ... or as my mother would say, "seriously funny." This song says it all.
From Wikipedia: Brotherhood Week[edit]The NCCJ promoted a "National Brotherhood Day" in the 1930s, expanding to Brotherhood Week starting in 1936 with President Franklin D. Roosevelt named honorary chairman.[2] In 1944 the week included extensive radio programming, military and USO participation, and an "education program of nationwide scope" aimed at "extending good will and understanding among religious groups".[5] By the early 2000s the event had lost relevancy and was eventually canceled.[2]
Tom Lehrer satirized National Brotherhood Week in a 1965 song of the same name, recorded on his album That Was the Year That Was.[2]
