My thoughts

 I thought I should at least make some response since I joined the group ages ogo. I think your comments are informed, interesting and enjoyable reading. Your joke section brightens my day.

Here is one that you've probably all heard but I'll take a chance anyway.  

There are two pearly gates leading to heaven. Above the one gate in large letter reads the sign "Enter in this gate all ye men who have been nagged by your wives" There is a long line of men as far as the eye can see lining up to enter this gate. The next gate has the sign "Enter in this gate all ye men who have not been nagged by their wives". There is one little man standing outside this gate. So St Peter approaches him and asked why he is the only man standing there? "Please sir," the man stammers, "My wife told me to stand here."
