Defensive Humor: Jokes & One Liners

"He is sane man who can have Tragedy in his heart and Comedy in his head." - G.K. Chesterton 

I tend to "process" through "Defensive Humor" - (Psychologists' term for when I tell a dumb joke to change the subject). Occasionally I come up with some that are pretty decent. I also like to collect ones I hear in other places. I'll probably try to separate this into a General post and one with ongoing jokes related to the SSA struggle. It's important to laugh sometimes. ;) Please feel free to add to this in the comments section (I'll moderate to ensure everything is clean)
