Joke of the Month
We do not know who sent this in, but if the source would identify herself/himself, we will be pleased to send out the coveted Blue Ribbon. I did have to do some discreet editing here to get this one by our Commissioner of Good Taste, as well as a special Catholic Review Board.
Joke of the Month
We received a number of good jokes this month, but considering this issue’s religious humor theme, it was decided that a joke from Weeden’s Peter DeOteris should be anointed the May winner.
Joke of the Month
This comes from me. Yes, I know some will object to the self-serving unfairness of this month’s blue ribbon award. Nevertheless this very old joke (reworked) is timely. And, I have never before won the Blue Ribbon.
Joke of the Month
Last issue’s “View from the North Country” was entirely devoted to 1997’s Fearless Forecasts. Thus, no joke of the month. So, in this issue two blue ribbons will be awarded.
Joke of the Month
Three candidates are presented this month, with submissions from JRS in Carlsbad California and DG in Bellevue Washington being deposited in the Joke Bank.
Joke of the Month
The big Blue Ribbon this month goes to Jeanette Reddish Scollard, proprietor of SCS Marketing in La Jolla California and Forum Manager of SUCCESS on line. Yes, it is a long joke, but stay with it. It is a real winner.
Joke of the Month
We have two winners this month. The first winner comes from Michael D. Hirsch, who happens to be our only reader in Israel. The second winner comes from The Leuthold Group’s Connie Schultz.
Joke of the Month
We experienced good post Labor Day joke flow. It also should be noted that some cruel and heartless readers labeled my September short term stock market prediction as the “real joke of the month.” If you don’t recall that prediction....well, good!
Joke of the Month
The Blue Ribbon goes to Wils Robinson, but an assist goes to Walter Deemer who creatively sanitized it into borderline printable shape.
Back Again By Popular Request: More From “Dr. Science”
Our “Ask Dr. Science” excerpts in recent issues have generated a generally positive response.....“Much more valuable than your stock market stuff”…..“Dr. Science’s computer care advice got me a brand new computer at work”.
Joke of the Month
The winner comes from Dale Robinson, an old friend and former college roommate now living in Placentia, California. I am dedicating it to Pete Larson, an often hot stock picker with Fleet Investment in Hartford who also happens to be Swedish.
Jokes of the Month
A plethora of jokes this month. In the past, Floyd Norris (New York Times) has observed a correlation between Leuthold Group joke flow and the state of the stock market. Each of the following jokes received at least one first place vote and your editor has decided to award blue ribbons to all.
Joke of the Month
Good joke flow in April. Perhaps April Fool’s Day (National Economists Day) had something to do with this.
Joke of the Month
Walter Deemer strikes again with what just could be “The Joke of the Year.” Walter, unlike Uncle Miltie, admits he did steal the joke and indicates he will pass the Leuthold Blue Ribbon on to his source. Who says all investment strategists are waffling dishonest souls with no integrity?
College Student Light Bulb Jokes
Colonel Rollo Spaulding, ERP, is both a reader of and sometimes contributor to this publication. For security reasons, we have been instructed not to reveal his true identity, but I believe the ERP designation stands for Educated Renaissance Person.
Joke of the Month
Winner was a late entry from Bob Potter, host of Public Radio’s “Sound Money”. Thanks Bob. I was about to cancel the January joke competition.
Joke of the Month
For several years now it has been our policy to disqualify all Ole and Lena jokes from this Joke of the Month competition. But, in the spirit of the Lutefisk Season there will be a temporary suspension of this no Norwegian joke policy.
Joke of the Month
Last issue, joke flow had been so lame I was forced to declare myself the winner. October was better....in fact, we have a tie, two winners and two Blue Ribbon awards going out.
Norwegian Humor Section (Especially For “Perk”)
Norwegians delight in telling stupid jokes about themselves, and unlike other ethnic groups they even laugh when non-Norwegians tell a dumb Norwegian joke. (I might note that Swedes are sometimes less tolerant.)
Joke of the Month
It was necessary to call in The Leuthold Group joke jury this month, as this editor found the submissions to be (1) very old (2) multi offensive from a PC standpoint or (3) not funny.
