This is my first post. I want to record my thoughts as I work on my doctoral program at the Union Institute, where I am studying Humor, so I should probably tell a joke. This one is my favorite:

These two rednecks are sitting on the porch, looking out in the yard where they see a dog licking himself.

"I wish I could do that," said the one.

"I reckon you could, if you pet 'im first."

That joke never ceases to crack me up.
