Tell us a joke! Knock-knock joke, long story with an unexpected punchline, great zinger — all jokes are welcome!
I finally have to admit defeat with the prompts. This one is just too difficult for me.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I would love to hear from you!

Sorry; that post was for my regular readers; an in-joke. I have told a minimum of 820 jokes in the past 820 days. Plus, I always joke in my regular posts; especially the ones where I answer the Daily Prompts.
Hope you stick around long enough to learn to like my humour 🙂

Can’t imagine you at a loss for words… Not sure where you were going to post, but if you like, you can use this:
In the beginning
When God made the first creation, placing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he loved to sit and watch how their lives progressed. As they had children, he saw that there were going to be problems.
Thinking ahead to all that could happen, he decided to create “the lever”. So he set in motion the inner workings of creation so that if the lever were pulled, it would simply wipe out all that had been created so that God could start over.
As time went along, God began to feel that he needed a protection for the lever, not wanting it to be pulled by the wrong person. So he created the serpent to guard the lever, calling him Nate. Life was good, Nate was able to enjoy his time in the sun as he guarded the lever. Leisurely days with not much to worry about. Any time there was a threat to the lever, Nate would make sure he was on the watch, even having to bite a few through the years to make his point that he was in charge.
Time passed and it wasn’t love before there was a path going by the lever, people would point and explain how dangerous it was, yet confident in the knowledge that Nate was always on guard. The path became a trail traversed by carts and wagons. The caravans that moved along knew the story of the lever and of faithful Nate.
The fateful day finally arrived when tragedy struck. The path, that became the trail, that became a dirt road, was finally paved. Civilization encroached upon the area and soon there were buildings along the road, leaving only a patch of ground for Nate and the lever. As Nate was getting up in years, he truly enjoyed his time in the sun. He found that lying on the warm pavement soothed his bones and let him relax. On this day there was a careless teen driving down the road. He knew of the stories, yet he forgot to pay attention to his driving as he was sending a text. As he caught sight of Nate lying across the road, he had only seconds to choose his course, would he run over the serpent or try to squeeze past by the lever.
Thump…. thump.
When interviewed by the officer that responded to the call, he was asked why he had run over the snake… his response:
Better Nate than lever.

But it’s a funny one only if you’re American (or know the storyteller is American) because, if told by a Brit, it would be pronounced, Better Nate than leaver 🙂

I guess we Yanks do tend to make our own use of the English language.. Hope it still translated well..
I’ll give you a personal story. I met a Brit in Spain and became friends. We would always invite him over for breakfast, offering to make biscuits and gravy, one of our favorites. He always politely refused… Finally we made a date and insisted… homemade fluffy baking powder biscuits and rich sausage gravy…. He laughed… all that time he was thinking of the british meaning…. what we would call cookies and pudding.
