I have set up a new JOKE BLOG called The Laugh Line. A coworker has provided the first few jokes and I am looking for some more submissions.

The way it works:

I have a Grand Central account for you to call 209-642-4112.

After my message, record your joke.

I will review the recorded jokes.

If I like them, I will post a link on The Laugh Line BLOG that you can click on to hear the joke in the voice of the person who submitted it.

By leaving a recording of your joke, the recording becomes my property, and you are giving me the right to post it on The Laugh Line BLOG or use the recording in any manner I may choose in the future.

Please keep the jokes fairly clean, as The Laugh Line BLOG is meant for an all ages audience.

If you have some Adult humor, I guess I could always start another Joke Blog with an adult rating.

Hope you have some good ones for me.

Mike
