Read The Joke Then Play The Audio File
Why didn’t the skeleton cross the road? He didn’t have the guts. He didn’t have the guts!

What do ghosts serve for dessert? Ice Scream - Ice Scream!
What did the skeleton order at the bar? A Beer and a Mop… A Beer and A Mop!

To get you ready for the Trivia Contest below, and the monthly Metro Quiz inside, here are some quick puzzles to sharpen your noggin.

1. A fireman is running to get a net under a lady who looks like she might jump off the balcony of her 20 story apartment building. There is nothing below her except a 20 story fall. The fireman is still 100 yards away when she falls and can't nearly get there in time. The woman is not hurt more than a bruise. How is that possible? Click Here
.
2. A man falls overboard and gets washed ashore on an island with nothing but sand. The island is 50 miles from the nearest land. He can't swim, the water's 100 feet deep, and the island has nothing to make a floatation device with. With no help from people, animals, fish, or machines he finds a way off the island. How does he do it? Click Here

Dearest Editor. You have saved our marriage! Have you ever considered marriage counseling on the side? If this ever happens again, can Mike come and live with you? I'll put your youngest two through college in return. It would be worth every penny. Thanks again! Your grateful sister-in-law, Karen
ED NOTE: Your very welcome Karen. But if it does happen again, please don't send us Mike. You can come stay with us instead.

Joke Of The Month

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me…I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started".

Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,

"First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger". He then sighed and said, "let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."
