Steven, great link.

I loved the one with the cave man/artist and his wife telling her friend that she has had to be both hunter and gatherer. It reminds me of my wife.

Michael, I'm afraid the one that would resonate with my spouse would be that in which the wife asks the husband (both standing before an incomprehensible gallery piece),

For several reasons... it's nice to put this thread on top again.

Painting has a fun side also.

I wanted to bring this link back up, both because the earlier version had expired and because we've had so many new members since this was first posted. It's too much fun not to keep sharing.

Merry Christmas, and so on.

What about jokes?
 
I'm resurrecting this topic to add some verbal jokes.
For your enjoyment:

A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the painter of the commission, "Paint me wearing diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby brooch, and a gold Rolex."
"But you aren't wearing any of those things," the painter replied.
"I know," the woman said. "It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away, and I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelry."

In that case, this is how it's done...
 
A matchmaker goes to see a poor artist and says, "I want to arrange a marriage for your son."
The poor artist replies, "I never interfere in my son's life."
The matchmaker responds, "But the girl is Lord Rothschild's daughter."
"Well, in that case..."

Next, the matchmaker approaches Lord Rothschild. "I have a husband for your daughter."
"But my daughter is too young to marry."
"But this young man is already a vice president of the World Bank."
"Ah, in that case..."

Finally, the matchmaker goes to see the president of the World Bank. "I have a young man to recommend to you as a vice president."
"But I already have more vice presidents than I need."
"But this young man is Lord Rothschild's son-in-law."
"Ah, in that case...."
