Goal

32 Bits of Laughter! I'm going to help the world laugh by sharing 32 jokes!

- Vote for your favorite joke by noting the number in your donation. You can vote for as many jokes as you like (your $ will get distributed like points) The winning joke gets 2 tickets to a comedy show!

- Everyone that donates either a joke or money will receive a copy of all the jokes to impress friends.

- Anyone that donates $50 or more will get a personalized list of funny things to do in their town.

My 32nd birthday (March 1) truly snuck up on me so I'm extending my campaign again until April 1st.

I chose this goal because

From good times to bad, laughter instantly improves any situation! I'm a huge fan of comedy and I'm loving my new job planning comedy competitions at colleges. While working with my excited student comics, I often think of the ATC clients living on the SF streets and how they are similar in age, but have chosen very different paths.

I've decided that instead of walking the streets sharing my pathetic jokes with homeless youth, it'd be much more productive to generate funds so that the talented At The Crossroads team can continue to empower their clients to improve their situations and choose better paths.

I'm helping because

Everyday my heart breaks as I pass homeless people, especially the young ones, but I'm so conflicted with how to help. Give them a buck? Food?? The moment I walked into the positive and inviting ATC office and met the passionate team, I knew I had found my answer! I am confident that donating time and money to ATC is absolutely the most effective way to make a real difference for San Francisco's challenged homeless youth!

About At The Crossroads

ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.

Joke 28 (Donated by Barry)

A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door.

A boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is your dad or mom home?" said the farmer. "No, they went to town." said the boy.

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself."Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant".

The boy thought for a moment... "You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the pig, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. ''But why?'' they asked, as they moved off. ''because,'' he said ''I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.''

JOKE 18 (Donated by Sid)

A man was in the restaurant yesterday when he suddenly realized he desperately

needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so he timed his

gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, he started to feel better. He finished his coffee,

and noticed that everybody was staring at him....

Then he suddenly remembered that he was listening to his iPod.

A state trooper stopped a driver who was puttering along at 22 mph. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly ladies, wide-eyed and white as ghosts, riding with the driver. The driver says she was going the speed limit and he explains that 22 is the route number. "Before you go, Ma'm, is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken." "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer....We just got off Route 127."

JOKE 1 (Donated by Dan)

This guy goes to prison and is assigned a cell. While he was putting his stuff away, he hears someone way down the cellblock holler "25" and several people chuckle. A minute later, someone yells "92" and there is more laughter. Finally a couple of minutes goes by and someone hollers out "17" and the entire cellblock erupts in uncontrollable laughter, with guys rolling around on the floor laughing in tears.

The new prisoner asks what is going on and his cellmate says that since there is nothing much to do in prison, everyone just sits around all day long telling jokes.

The new prisoner asks what are all the numbers about and his cellmate tells him that since everyone there already knows all the jokes by heart, they gave them all numbers so it doesn't take so long to tell them.

The new prisoner thinks about it for a while and decides that's a pretty neat idea, so he hollers out "54".

Silence. You could have heard a pin drop. He looks over at his cellmate and says "What's with all the silence?"

His cellmate shrugs his shoulders, flicks his cigarette ash off on the floor and says "Well, I guess some people can tell a joke and some can't........"
