Editor’s Note: With high gas prices, people losing their homes from decisions they made and the economy slowing down.

We as Americans have always used laughter to ease our pain. Recently, I read a book that was full of a lot of riddles and jokes. They were so funny that I couldn’t stop laughing and it helped me forgot something that was upsetting me that day.

I thought that we would share them with you the reader. The name of the book was: “Jokelopedia: The biggest, Best, Silliest, Dumbest Joke Book Ever”.

Each week, we will publish jokes that we hope will bring you lots of joy. We also hope you will send us your own jokes. That we can share with our readers.
