So I’m having my first contest.
Here is the scoop. I just did a quick inventory, and there are currently 635 books in my house. I may read 200 books per year, but most of those are on my kindle or audio books. I rarely read more than 10 to 20 paper books per year. So why do I own 635 of them? Clearly, I need to give some of these books away to my wonderful blog followers.
Finding jokes to use for my “Joke of the Day” each day is a challenge. So my rules for this contest are simple. Post a joke in the comments section of today’s post. When I return from vacation, I’ll randomly select one of the jokers and mail them a book. If you want to tell your friends about this contest or post other comment about how much you love me, I’ll appreciate it. But jokes are the only thing that will help you win a book.
So what are you playing for? For this first contest, I’m going to have 5 books up for grabs. The winner can pick which one they want. And I’ll return the other 4 to the pot for my next contest.
The available titles:
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
Ordinary Ghosts by Eireann Corrigan
Eighth Grade Bites (The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod) by Heather Brewer
The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
Dramarama by E. Lockhart
Good Luck to you all.

I like jokes that the mass of the population finds wildly un-funny. So I probably won't win: Here's a few of my favorite:
What's brown and sticky?
A stick
Two muffins were baking in the oven, one muffin said to the other muffin, "Man, it's hot in here!" The other muffin exclaimed "Holy crap! A talking muffin!"
I know, so not funny...but I'm laughing.
I didn't know you had Vlad Tod books!
Um, I'll have to get back to you on the joke. I am just not funny.
vladimir tod is awesome. i only bought book on on paper then got the rest of the books on my kindle cause i couldn't handle waiting the 20 minutes it takes to drive to the book store. i read all four books in like 3 days. i can't wait until september when book 5 comes out.
My favorite joke stems from the first grade:
Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9.
My wife would love a copy of Eat Pray Love, but I'd be much more interested in the Vladimir Tod book.
OMG I know this AWESOME joke:
Two cows are out in a field. The first cow goes
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Have you heard about the mad cow disease?
The second cow goes MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why should I care? I'm a helicopter!
Okay, I have to come up with something here. I promise to get back to you with something better than the knock knock banana joke that my kids love.
From my boys' good friend:
Q: Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?
A: To get to the bottom.
I'm playing for the E. Lockhart book, because I already own or have read the others.
What did the one snowman say to the other snowman?
Do you smell carrots?
LOL!!
Give this joke a moment, and then laugh uproariously:
Q: If you're an American when you go into the bathroom, and you're an American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you while you're in the bathroom?
A: European!
Your coffee is shooting out of your nose right now, isn't it????
