Making a woman laugh is the best way to get a date....

In high school and in later life.

Just want to show I agree with one thing Mrs. Romney said only I can't imagine Mitt Romney making anyone laugh.

When I was ernest, I struck out.

When I came out and took advantage of a situation and made a woman laugh, I knew my way was open to conversation and most likely a date.

I've inspired quite a few laughs in my time that made romance far *less* likely.

But seriously, I think this is one of 'connections without causation' things. If someone likes you, they're more likely to laugh at your jokes.

8. It's actually hard for me to believe that either Ann or Mitt Romney actually laugh. Ever.

She did the same sort of "fakey" laugh throughout her speech last night that her husband is known for.

I could use some romance in my life, or do the girls have to rely on the old cleavage display to get attention?

To do or even understand anything other than crude, bodily function type humor requires some intelligence, if you are looking for an intelligent man then a quirky sense of humor is probably a good way to attract them.

Looking for a liberal/progressive guy? Make some jokes at the expense of Republicans/conservatives and see who laughs and who gets mad.

This joke cracks up just about anyone who's not an asshole type of redneck, I've told it to plenty of rednecks and get a laugh most of the time and some rednecks think it's utterly hilarious..

Jesus is drinking in a bar.

An Irish guy limps into the bar and, with great difficulty, hoists his bad leg over the barstool and asks the bartender for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looks down the bar and says, "Is that Jesus down there?" The bartender nods yes, and the Irishman tells him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey too.

Next an ailing Italian with a hunched back comes into the bar. He shuffles up to the barstool and asks for a glass of chianti. He also looks down the bar and asks if that is Jesus sitting down there. The bartender nods, and the Italian says to give Him a glass of chianti, too.

The third patron, a redneck, swaggers in and hollers, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one. Hey is that God's Boy down there?" The barkeep nods, and the redneck tells him to give Jesus a cold one, too.

As Jesus gets up to leave, he walks over to the Irishman and touches him and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman feels the strength come back to his leg, and he gets up and dances a jig out the door.

Jesus touches the Italian and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian feels his back straighten, and he raises his hands above his head and does a flip out the door.

Jesus walks toward the redneck, and the redneck jumps back and yells, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability."
