joke laughing foghorn

“Last Blog Standing” starts riiight….now!

Yes, it’s time to steal a few more jokes from my father-in-law (F.I.L.). His blog posts range from political comedy to humorous commentary on pop culture.

For those of you who might be new here, he used to write for Alan King, Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters, just to name a few. And all those Dean Martin Roasts,  too: Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Phyllis Diller, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc.

A tiny respite from all the frustrating events of the day:

Last week was “April Fool’s Day.” Is this a great country or what? Former Governor of Texas RICK PERRY hasn’t even declared he’s running for President and he already has his own national holiday.

Indiana’s Governor is coming under fire for signing a new law that people feel is anti-gay. Presidential hopefuls JEB BUSH, TED CRUZ and SCOTT WALKER have all come out in favor of it. Oops! I guess I shouldn’t have said “Come out.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA met with Afghan President, ASHRAF GHANI, and told him, “You’ve got to crackdown on corruption, kick backs and illegal spending.” If this works in Afghanistan, we’re going to try it here in the U.S..

The White House announced that PRESIDENT OBAMA will attend a summit in Kenya this July. When he heard, DONALD TRUMP said, “While your there pick up your birth certificate.”

By the way, TRUMP came in first in a poll asking people what Republican they want running for President. He shouldn’t get too excited. It was a poll of Democrats.

AL GORE is 67 years old. At his party they lit 67 candles on his birthday cake. There’s your global warming.

The ROLLING STONES have announced a new 15-city North American stadium tour. You’ll know if they’ll be in your city when you see the ramps being put up on the stadium entrance.

Although I shouldn’t say that, the band is still going strong. It’s the switch from using drugs to taking medication.

They have just learned that eating chocolate may have positive effects on the brain similar to exercising. This was discovered by an unbiased study taken in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

A 95-year-old man has officially become the world’s oldest pilot. You can tell it’s him at the controls. He’s the first pilot to fly at 25 miles per hour – With the turn signal flashing.

According to a new study, the marijuana in Colorado is almost twice as strong as it was. TACO BELL is replacing the “Waffle Taco” with its new “Biscuit Taco,” which is a taco-shaped biscuit filled with eggs, sausage, or chicken. It’s success was how they tested to see if the marijuana is twice as strong.

Speaking of testing, McDONALD’S is going to test all-day breakfast at some of their restaurants, which means stoners now have absolutely no reason to get out of bed before 10:30.

Once again it’s Income Tax Time. That’s when the government “OF the people,” “FOR the people” and “BY the people,” stick it “TO the people.”
