Here is some humor from one of our TV late-night hosts. I think the last joke was particularly subtle land ironic.
The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
?-? Over the weekend, President Obama celebrated his 17th wedding anniversary. The President celebrated by going out for a romantic candlelit dinner with just his wife and Oprah.
?-? Forbes magazine is reporting that Oprah Winfrey lost $400 million last year. Oprah is claiming she didn’t “lose” the $400 million, she just forgot which jacket pocket it’s in.
?-? A new study ranks the best places in the world to live, and Afghanistan came in second to last. When they heard this, people in Afghanistan said, “Thank God for Newark.”
?-? The latest rumor is that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is actually Jewish. When they heard this, millions of Jewish women immediately asked, "Is he single?”
