In the spring of 2005, shortly after I began blogging, I began posting the jokes I had received in my previous week’s email under the title Too Bad It’s Monday (T.B.I.M.) as the reverse of T.G.I.F. (Thank God It’s Friday). So again I am going to share with you what I consider to be the best of the humor I have received in the past week. You may not agree with all of my choices, but if even one joke brings you a smile on T.B.I.M., my goal has been achieved.
Gandhi, when he was asked what he thought of 20th Century civilization, replied, I think it would be a very good idea.
Two men who haven't seen each other for many years meet on the street. One asks the other how things have been.
"Wonderful, for a while," the other says. "I had it all: money, a magnificent house, a fast car, the love of a beautiful woman. Then, one day, poof! It was all gone."
"What a shame," the friend says. "What on Earth happened?"
Says the other man: "My wife found out."

More Weird Thoughts
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
- It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
- I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. [OH yes! Guaranteed!]
- I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
- I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay jewelry.
During a practical exercise at a police academy, the instructor was giving the class instruction in unarmed self- defense.
After he presented a number of different situations in which they might find themselves, he asked a student, "What steps would you take if someone were coming at you with a large, sharp knife?"
The student replied, "BIG ones."
Friday night I attended a fish fry at the local Catholic monastery. As I walked down the line, having fish and French fried potatoes piled high on my plate, I said to one of the servers, “This smells so good that I can hardly wait to begin eating.”
The server replied, “Thank you, sir. I appreciated your compliment, for I am the fish friar.”
I repeated my words to the next server and asked, “Are you a fish friar, too?”
The server replied, “No, sir. I am a chip monk.”
