Jokes that make you groan

Who cares about Euell Gibbons? Spider Robinson was the real deal.
(Yet another old fogey. Check the prices on the spines.)


I salute your good taste; I know very few people who've even heard of Spider. My copy of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is signed. Not addressed to me alas but still great.

A woman looks unhappily at herself in the mirror while getting ready for bed. She exclaims "Just look at me!..My hair is grey, wrinkles under my eyes, my figure sags, and my legs are fat" She turns to her husband and says "Tell me something nice about me please!"
Her husband says "Well, your eyesight is perfect"
 
Mabel Jullup was a lady with taste. She bought a lovely vase at an auction and put it on her table. It was Ming, and it made the Grand Rapids furniture look very cheap. She was sad, so she sold the Grand Rapids and bought 'period'. That made her whole house look cheap. So she sold the house and took an exclusive apartment in town. But the apartment was so exclusive it made Mr. Jullup look cheap. Naturally she got a divorce and married a Mr. Preston Potter. But here she was stymied. Mr. Preston Potter made her look cheap.
 
The 60-year-old owner of a very successful chain of bargain stores throws a huge wedding reception for his friends to his marriage to his beautiful 23-year-old bride. The wedding is held at his 30-room mansion on his 75-acre estate. No expense is spared. A few of his closest friends cornered him for a few moments and asked him how he was able to land such a dazzling woman. "Simple," he said. "I told her I was 89."

Pretty sure this will elicit a few groans:

Until very recently a troop of killer monkeys lived undetected in Greenwich Village. It was not surprising that they had escaped notice for so long. They had extremely odd sleeping habits, hibernating for 364 days out of every year (365 in Leap Years) and emerging from the caverns of the Village sewers only on Christmas Day. Even so, one might have thought they could hardly help but cause talk, since they tended when awake to be enormous, ferocious, carnivorous, and extremely hungry. Yet in Greenwich Village of all places on Earth they went unnoticed until last year, when they were finally destroyed.
Everyone knows that Yule Gibbons ate only nuts and fruits.
