Thanks for the poem, Guy
It was a golden oldie that bears out my belief that good old jokes never die, they are simply rediscovered. I appreciate the memory jog, and I agree with your summation on jokes. If anything your estimate might have been on the conservative side.

Thanks, auslander
I'm always happy to oblige. Sorry it took me so long to reply. As noted in a post to my blog in Everything Else, I've been out of touch for a while.

Horse jokes
Notapoet,
It seems to me, that there are so many jokes written about horses, race horses, and Adam and Eve, that they must constitute at least a quarter of all the jokes every written.
When I was just a young sage, one of the first jokes I learned, was about the race horse that in the last turn, sped to the finish line, passing all the other horses at the last moment. The horse's owner asked the jockey how he had motivated the horse to win the race. The jockey confided that he, (being a poet) leaned down and yelled into the horse's ear,
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Horses that lose,
Are made into GLUE!
