We love getting mail– especially because we receive so much joke mail! Thanks to all the readers who add to our humor repertoire.

“Readers’ Di-Jest” is a chance for you to do some networking and nutworking with other subscribers. Feel free to send in your own humorous gems and examples of how you’ve used humor in your life and work. Once we receive ’em, we’ll spread the positive contagion of laughter through “Readers’ Di-Jest.” Elliott Blauvelt, Sr. from Horseheads, New York has been horsing around with humor for quite a while. He passes along some words of wit and wisdom for our readers: Everyone would like to live a long life, but no one wants to be old.

“The day I call you ‘Hun’ we’re both in trouble,” I quipped. And he smiled. And tensions eased. And merriment instead reigned supreme.

Feel free to rain your humorous examples on us– the more, the merrier!
