Always good to know who you hang out with who get uptight over such 
innocence. . .

& why not? I'm okay with any words in the dictionary if used grammatically
correctly & not being used to hurt others.

They had no business condemning & censoring anyway!

There's the story Mark Twain told of how he avoids using "very" too much -- 
he substitutes "damn" for every use of "very" & the editor just deletes it. .

I've seen Darci before, but now looked her up & watching all her AGT

Hard to claim absolute first place when both got top honours (golden buzzer)

Have you heard they’re cleaning pigs with ham sanitizer?
That’s just hogwash!

Doc told me he has good news and bad news for me. Bad news is my organs are
shutting down from my eating only pepperoni, ham & salami.
Good news is, I’m cured!

Q: What should we be eating on Easter instead of Ham?
A: IHOP

That’s a nice ham you got there.
It’d be a shame if someone put an S in front of it and an E behind it.

Q: What do you call a radio after it blows up
A: A boom box

I'd tell you a Ham radio pun, but it's not always well received.

Car sticker - "Radio amateurs do it with frequency."

At my local club there is a sign that says "If your mast is still standing
after a storm, it probably didn't have enough antennas in it"

On our club's Monday Night Net, one gentleman, Gwynn, W8BY, now sadly SK, 
used to tell jokes. They were mostly not ham radio related, but here's one in
which amateur radio plays a part:

One Saturday morning, Sam held an antenna party at his house. About a half
dozen hams showed up, and the antenna went up pretty quick. At this point,
they all headed inside for lunch...except for Joe. Sam asked the other guys,
"Hey, where's Joe?" After getting a bunch of blank stares, Sam headed outside
to find Joe.

As it turned out, Joe was still up on the roof. Sam yelled up, "Hey, Joe. 
What are you still doing up there?" To which Joe replied, "Well, didn't you
say that the drinks were on the house?"

At this point, Gwynn would let out a low groan, and you could almost hear all
of the other hams who'd checked into the net let out a low groan, too.

George Washington and his father used Morse code! When young George chopped
down the cherry tree his father asked "Who di-dit?" and George replied "I di-
dit, da-dah"

HEARD ON 2O METERS
"Yesterday,  my XYL said she'd leave me if I didn't give up ham radio. Over."

An elderly ham driver was going down the interstate when suddenly his 2 meter
rig crackled his call...Answering...he heard a fellow ham's urgent
warning....."Hey Elmer, just heard on the news that there's a car going down
I-40 the wrong way, please be careful"!!  
Elmer replied,"Well I'll declare, it's not just one.......
there's hundreds of them'!!!!!!!!!

Is it true that "bandwidth" refers to a Ham's waist size?
