My favorite Emo joke is written up in an article by Emo himsel about how it was voted the best religion joke of all time (the written version loses his magical sense of timing, but still good): http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2005/sep/29/comedy.religion
“I like to shop in downtown Downers Grove
It doesn’t take big bucks, and everyone there really is nice ….
I went to the pet shop, said, ‘I want a parrot’
The Guy said, ‘How ’bout a cockatoo?’
I said, ‘No thanks, just a bird’ …
I went into the clothing store and I made up my mind
I wasn’t going to let any pushy salesman pressure me into buying something I didn’t need…
So after I bought the kilts ….”
To my knowledge, the “cockatoo” joke was the only “potty humor” Laura ever would admit to laughing at 😉
“I was walking down the street, when something caught my eye…and dragged it fifteen feet.”
and, of course, another line that Laura had to explain to me:
“I went to the bakery just the other day
I said to the girl, “Do you have a zwieback?”
She said, “I always slouch this way”
This site is dedicated to the memory of Laura and is now mostly an archive of her 15-month struggle with cancer as told by her husband David and other family. A brief background of her case is found in the About section. Family photos dating back five years can be found in the main photos section. There are two slideshow retrospectives of Laura throughout her life. A collaborative tribute effort is woefully incomplete and I encourage your help.

I went to the gas station, said, “Fill ‘er up, Harry” The guy said “Regular?” I said, “No, put on a gorilla suit And dance like a fairy”
