Well... I used to be involved in the Bulletin Board System (BBS) scene before the Internet became big (aka a time before everyone had a use for modems), and actually, for a few months ran one myself (before my parents shut it down for getting a C on a progress report...big whoop... oh well, I rant about this more elsewhere). During that time, I discovered a messaging network between BBS's called FidoNet. It's sort of like the modern Usenet newsgroups, except that messages were distributed by BBS's calling one another.
Enough of the historical/technical background... one of the message echoes that was my favorite was the JOKES echo (or was it HUMOR, can't remember anymore...AHHH! I'm getting old and losing my memory!). Over about 1½ years, I collected many joke files which struck me as funny and interesting. I collected over 200 of these, ranging from mildly humorous, to laugh out loud funny, to downright disgusting, and I might as well share the laughter! (^_^)
Some of these are obviously dated a few years, but many still hold true today! Apologies in advance for any copyrights on some of these; I'm willing to remove them on request if they infringe on any! Also apologies in advance if you find these jokes offensive, but sorry, I find them funny!
Sorry about the disorganization, this will be sorted someday!

Another thing dating back from the BBS days were taglines. Taglines were little one line jokes that get automatically attached to any messages you send. I really wish they would make a comeback... oh well. As soon as a FREE program is made that can do taglines from Netscape Mail, I'll be using it! (Maybe I'll have to program it...) So here's my tagline collection!
