Animals - aren't they great???

I know a few jokes: but most are not 'clean' enough for the site. I have a real problem with humor. It has to be REALLY FUNNY for me to laugh aloud. I get some funny things, but don't appreciate slapstick at all. Comedy movies I rarely find funny, humerous, maybe, but not really funny. I have collec...
