in ThoughtsThis seems like a joke day. An old man was fishing on the bank of his favorite fishing hole when suddenly, he heard a voice say, “Hey, you!”. Somewhat startled, the man looked around, but didn’t see anyone. A few minutes later, he heard the voice again, but this time it said, “Hey, I’m talking…

in ThoughtsWe’ve been talking about a lot of heavy stuff lately, so I think it’s time for a joke. A man was driving down a country road and saw a farmhouse with a sign out front that said, “Talking Dog for Sale”. Intrigued, the man pulled over, went up to the farmhouse, and asked the farmer…

Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsAre you getting tired of jokes yet? I hope not because we have a few more days. Besides, who doesn’t like a good joke? Let me rephrase that: Who doesn’t like a joke (emphasis on “good” being removed). I never promised the jokes would be good. Here’s today’s joke: A man goes to the doctor…

Laughter – Part 6
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsToday’s joke in our Laughter series may sound familiar to those of us with Myasthenia Gravis or any other chronic or life-threatening condition. A man is hiking through the mountains when he suddenly slips and begins sliding off a steep cliff. As he’s falling, he manages to grab hold of a small branch protruding out…

When she nears him, he says, “Welcome to heaven. Before I can let you inside, I need you to spell a word.” “Which…

Laughter – Part 3
Greg Olsen
in My JourneyI promised you a joke a day for the remaining days of August, so here’s one I wrote about Myasthenia Gravis. An older man with Myasthenia Gravis was sitting in a chair. On his lap was his 5-year-old grandson, Jack. Jack looked up at his grandfather and said, “Pappy, why are your eyes half closed?”…
