Sam went to the doctor to find out about his recent tests.
“It’s really bad, I’m afraid,” said his doctor. “You’ve got a disease so new that it hasn’t even been given a name yet — we just call it ‘Blue 56.’

Three drunk guys climbed into a taxi. Noting their extreme state of intoxication, the taxi driver figured he could trick them and make an easy buck without any of them being the wiser.

When the big TIDBITS anniversary came up in February (20 years since my first one, 12 since my last) I was already creating three separate joke mailings: a general weekly one with a set number of installments that still had a year to go; a specialty one that came out fairly regularly; and a bonus humor mailing that came out sporadically.

I’d like to welcome a few new TIDBITS subscribers this week, and some others from the two weeks previous. We had a dry spot there for a while where we didn’t have anyone new signing up, so it’s nice to see some new names on the list.
Please invite your friends to check out our little humor newsletter, which I repost every week on my website, www.TrentPassey.com. I keep a “Subscribe” button high in the feed of posts, so it’s easy for someone to sign up.
