Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Tasteless Jokes!

We attended a wedding reception recently. Nice couple, they registered at BOTH Wal-Mart and Target. Words cannot express the soaring joy in my heart when I saw their registry location and the profound love I felt for them.

Anyway, I thought it was rather sweet that they requested several board games one of which was Monopoly. I won't play it anymore with my kids because one game can stretch into an all day event. So, I desperately wanted to send them the game anonymously and attach the following note:

We are sending you the game of Monopoly where each round takes an eternity to complete. This way we know we won't be receiving a baby shower invitation in the next year.

Hugs and Kisses,
The International Society For Alternative Birth Control Methods

My husband laughed, said I had a sick and twisted mind (like I didn't already know that), and convinced me that others might fail to see the humor in it. Darn, I hate it when values, morals, and righteous husbands get in the way of a fun joke.

Dear biotech goddess,

I'm a nerd and nobody likes me because of my sick and twisted mind.

Will you be my friend?

I promise I won't make you give me an at home bikini wax like my last friend who mysteriously disappeared screaming into the night. Please check yes or no.

YES NO
