My best off-the-cuff jokes

• Helen’s brother Tom and his son Paul were putting their stuff into Tom’s vehicle, stuff like luggage and Paul’s cello. There was a lot of stuff, and they weren’t sure everything was going to fit. Once most of the stuff was in, Tom said, “I don’t think the cello will fit.” I said, “There’s always room for cello!”
• A couple of years ago, Katrina had come down with something. She had been running a fever and had a runny nose. She was sitting on our couch when I asked how she was feeling, and for some reason she began to flap her arms. I turned to Helen and said, “I think she has bird flu.”
