Feel free to browse the collection of tall tales, yarns and downright lies. They are all family safe - the test I apply is "would I tell this to someone's grandmother?" If no, I don't use it. (That doesn't mean i don't appreciate a dirty joke, but I don't think they're appropriate for broadcast on the radio - you never know who is listening or how old they are or what their attitudes to dirty jokes amounts to. )
One day I noticed a wonderful old lady sitting on her front steps, so I walked up to her and said, "Ma'am, I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret for such a long, happy life?"
"I smoke ten stogies a day," she said.
"Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. All my life I've eaten only junk food, and I put away at least a fifth of Jack Daniels every week. I avoid vegetables, on weekends I pop pills, and I never do any exercise at all. My love life supplies my every need!"
Positively, absolutely amazing, I thought, and asked , "How old are you?"
"Twenty-four, next month" she replied.
