Let’s open the laughter jar and grab a generous spoonful with the joke of the day entitled, “The Healthiest City.”
Jake had lived all his life in a city of smog-spewing factories. His whole life, he had been frail and sickly. He decided to move to a healthier climate out West. So, he packed up and moved. He took advantage of the beautiful skies and clean air to go for a walk at a local park. There he sat down on a bench to enjoy the day. Soon, a very healthy and good-looking young man sat down beside him.
“Say, is this city really as healthful as it seems?”
“It sure is! Why when I arrived, I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed or to walk across a room.” “Goodness! How long have you been here?”
“Since I was born.”
