Telling Jokes, It's Like an Addiction

I guess I'm suffering serious withdrawal symptoms from not performing stand-up on stage.

Today I went into Trader Joe's and was unable to resist the impulse to tell these:

A man was telling an acquaintance about his buying a Jack Russell Terrier. I walked over and said, "If your dog is too hyper, give it some booze. The Jack *Daniels* Terrier is much more mellow." Laughs.

Checking out, two relatively young employees were talking about current cultural things (bands, movies, etc.). I said, "Have you heard about that new vampire movie, where the vampire becomes a gardener? It's called Eclipse the Lawn." Laughs again.

The environment in which I'm living now, my mother-in-law's rumpus room, doesn't lend itself to inventing many jokes.

Oh, one left-over from the World Cup. Guess who defeated the USA? Ghana with the Win. I looked for it on Google and found several sports writers had used the same line. Oh well, nothing new under the sun.
