Laughter is Good for You

Leigh Moore is having a blogfest! A funny one. We're suppose to write a joke.

Well, because I'm a writer, one would think I'm fantastic at coming up with funny material. You couldn't be more wrong.

Here is my entry. It fit both medicine and writing and is incredibly stupid:

What did one Y Pestis say to the other?
Stop copying me, that's Plagurism!

(Some are asking me Y Pestis is, it's a bacteria that causes infections including the bubonic plague)

Go here for more entries: The Blogfest

  1. Clarissa - LOL! Oh, that's a great joke. Maybe it's the linguist in me, but I find that really funny. And of course, the writer in me loved the plagiarism reference. Thanks :-).

  6. Heehee! You're a smartie. I couldn't write one myself so I found a writer's joke online. This "play" on words is brilliant, though. :D

  11. I'm a dope and don't get the references but appear to be the only one! Could that be true? I'm not entering the contest but will give you a joke:

    A cowboy goes into a strange town. He stops at the saloon and notices that there's no one there but the old bartender. He asks the guy where everyone has gone.
    The bartender says, "Wellll, we had us a visitor. A guy came into the saloon earlier wearing a paper bag shirt, a paper bag pair of pants and a paper bag stetson. He has been hauled out by the sheriff and everyone is at the hanging."
    The cowboy asks, "Why are you hanging him?"
    The bartender replies, "Rustling."
