A joke is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation communicated with the intent of being humorous. These jokes will normally have a punchline that will end the sentence to make it humorous. A joke can also be a single phrase or statement that employs sarcasm. The word joke can also be used as a slang term for a person or thing which is not taken seriously by others in general. A practical joke or prank differs from a spoken one in that the major component of the humour is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl). Jokes are typically for the entertainment of friends and onlookers. The desired response is generally laughter; when this does not happen the joke is said to have "fallen flat". Jokes have been a part of human culture since at least 1900 BCE. A fart joke from ancient Sumer is currently believed to be the world's oldest known joke[1] A recent discovery of a document called Philogelos (The Laughter Lover) gives us an insight into ancient humour. Written in Greek by Hierocles and Philagrius, it dates to the third or fourth century AD, and contains some 260 jokes. Considering humour from our own culture as recent as the 19th century is at times baffling to us today, the humour is surprisingly familiar. They had different Stereotypes, the Absent-minded professor, the eunuch, and people with hernias or bad breath were favourites. A lot of the jokes play on the idea of knowing who you are

2. Love for New Jersey gifts
November 18, 2009
New Jersey is one of those states in the union that doesn't get a lot of respect, but for those in the know, it is a wonderful tourist destination and a great place to call home. Depictions in popular culture like The Sopranos and the emphasis on its nuclear power plants have saddled the state with negative stereotypes. It is the infamous New Jersey Turnpike that is the butt of many a joke such as "you're from Jersey? What exit?" Those who have actually spent time in New Jersey can attest to the wonderful destinations that the Garden State has to offer. New Jersey's popularity is steadily o... (read more)

5. Crash Diets And Its Downfall
November 16, 2009
To diet, as the joke goes, means to die with a 'T'. Such is the case of the vain who go on crash diets just because they think they're too fat; that their clothes no longer fit; or because their love handles are too big, even if in truth they are not fat at all.
Diet is often equated with nutrition. The dictionary defines it as the act of restricting food intake or at least intake of particular food. Diet as a collective is the amount of food a person eats or drinks during the course of a day. People do it for health reasons, some to simply lose weight, and some altogether for all t...

7. The Dangers of Indoor Air Pollution!
November 16, 2009
Here is a pre-recession, pre-cars-for-clunkers-government-stimulus-program joke about Detroit as the US city of car makers: “Detroit is one city that knows how to deal with air pollution. It pumps its air into the tires of the cars it manufactures and quietly ships it out of town.” Air pollution is a deadly reality in almost every city around the world. According to some news reports a few years ago, Tokyo policemen return regularly to headquarters to breathe oxygen.

8. Yogalates Weight Loss System for Women
November 13, 2009
Terms such as yogalates often seem to be a typical fitness con / fad designed to make a quick buck from poorly advised people looking to lose weight. At first, I thought that the term yogalates was a complete joke. To start with, many of the exercises in Pilates are taking directly from various schools Yoga. Yoga is essentially a form of stationary exercises and stretches aim at improving balance, strength and flexibility. Pilates was developed to help hospitalised patients to build strength while still bed-bound. So what does Yogalates have to offer, which traditional yoga, or Pilates, class... (read more)

13. How To Avoid Recurring Ovarian Cysts
November 11, 2009
Ovarian cysts are a very common problem among a lot of women and having to live with constant pain, bloating and feelings of nausea is no joke. The problem is that many women are not even aware that they have a cyst because there are not always symptoms, so whilst they may suffer some pain leading up to and during a period, they feel there is no cause for concern and so adopt a shut up and put up approach each month. For a large proportion of women, however, the symptoms can be very severe and may ultimately end in surgery, but even this does not guarantee the elimination of recurring ovaria... (read more)

The economy today has taken the shape of a very rough and tough economy where everything seems to be next to impossible.

Starting a home based business is not a joke. It takes real hard work and the right mental attitude. Sometimes, even these are not sufficient to manage risks.
