The Good Clean Funnies List

In the summer of 1995, I changed jobs and there found my first computer with a thing on it called a "browser." It was NCSA's Mosaic, and DARPAnet had just been opened up to the public as the Internet. So. Cool.

Shortly thereafter, I have no idea how, I ran across a little site called the Good Clean Funnies List (GCFL): A web and email site that would send one good, clean, funny joke a day into my inbox. It's been part of our morning routine pretty much ever since. Here's today's:

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the wash outside.

"That laundry is not very clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

The funny part is, this thing originates from right where I used to live, near Huntsville, Alabama. But what a great example of shining some light into people's worlds, one day at a time. Oh, and the verse at the top of the website? Proverbs 17:22a: "A cheerful heart is good medicine..."
