Bill, you are dead right. Most of the jokes I hear, like the one you mentioned concerning the dog and the old woman are variations and not as funny as the original, but I've learned that most people just can't tell a joke, so ya hafta cut 'em some slack.

You should hear Sinsull tell the one about the guy with the chrome dentures.

Anyway, try this one:

Texas Honeymoon:

A cowboy and his wife had just got married and found a nice hotel for their wedding night.

The happy groom approached the front desk to ask for a room. He said, "We're on our honeymoon and we need a nice room with a good strong bed."

The clerk winked, "You want the 'Bridal'?" "No" said the Texan, "I'll just hang onto her ears until she gets used to it."
