Q: A suggestion for the "Big Cat", a new section

On this site, many come after a hard day at work, full of stress and frustrations, and tend to vent some steam here.  I do see a lot of it, and not enough humor to balance it out some.

A new section, maybe called "Latest Jokes" or "Smile Fountain" or whatever you like, where we can all post the last one we heard, could be a useful and very much visited section for those interested on venting off some steam and stress.  Maybe a "tab" to see it could be placed next to "latest answers", "latest questions", "most polular" and "need answers". 

And as an example of its contents, I offer you the last one I heard below:

Charlie was installing a new door and found that one of the hinges was missing.
He asked his wife, Mary, if she would go to the hardware store and pick up a hinge.
Mary agreed to go.
While she was waiting for the nice young man to finish serving a customer, her eye caught a beautiful bathroom vanity faucet set.
When the man finished with the other customer, Mary asked him, "How much is that vanity set?"
The young assistant manager replied, "That's a gold plated set and the price is $900.00."
"My goodness," Mary exclaimed, "that is very expensive. It's certainly out of my price bracket." She then proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy.

The manager said that he had them in stock and went into the storeroom to get one. From the storeroom he yelled, "Lady, do you wanna screw for the hinge?"

Mary paused for a moment and then shouted back, "No, but I will for the vanity set."

This is why you should never send a woman to the hardware store!

That's a good idea, but an open expat forum would work too.
Mr. Cat promised us one a while back but it has yet to materialize.
BTW...great joke!!

A horse walks into a bar.  The bartender looks up and says, "Why the long face?"

(My favorite joke of all time.)

Xpat.John:

Funny story about this joke. When I started my first company here I called all the staff together for a meeting. To break the ice, I told this joke and asked my translator to translate it for me. The conversation went something like this: Me: Tells joke.  Assistant:  ...  Me: Please translate the joke. Assistant: No. Me: Why? Don't you understand it? Assistant: Yes, I understand it. But I won't translate it because it is a stupid joke. Me: Helllooooo, you assistant, me boss. Now translate. Assistant: Sigh. She then translates the joke. Staff: .... Assistant: Told you it was a stupid joke. Then says, "Laowai humor" in Chinese.  Staff: Huge laugh. Me: Sigh.

A pirate walks into a bar with a ship's steering wheel hanging out of the fly of his pants.

The bartender asks, "Hey, why do you have a steering wheel hanging out of your fly?" and the pirate replies:

"Arrrrr, I have no idea but it's driving me nuts!"

Writing this here - nice and inconspicuous.

Soooo, as you've noticed it's still not up. Our programmers are finishing it as we speak. Once they're done, there'll be some testing done for bugs and the like. It'll either be coming up at the end of this week, or at the end of this month.

Here is another one from the Old Wild West !

The Wisdom of Experience

An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.

He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whisky in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to."

A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.

The old prospector --not wanting to get a toe blown off-- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.

The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.

The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's arse?"

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I've always wanted to."

There are a few lessons for us all here:

Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whisky makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.

I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the lady. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my husband's mule stumbled. My husband quietly said 'That's once.' We proceeded a little farther when the mule stumbled again. Once more my husband quietly said, 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled a third time. My husband took a pistol from his pocket and shot him.

I started to protest over his treatment of the mule when he looked at me and quietly said 'That's once.'"

Willie Nelson's ode celebrating his 75 birthdate........

"I have outlived my pecker."

The Penis Poem
My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out.
What used to be my [CENSORED] appeal,
Is now my water spout.
Time was when, on its own accord,
From my trousers it would spring.
But now I've got a full time job,
To find the f***in' thing.
It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave.
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me shave.
Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues.
To see it hang its little head,
And watch me tie my shoes!!

My Chinese girlfriend came to me and said "Can I ask you a simple question? Just answer yes or no."

Thinking this was very unusual for a Chinese person, I agreed.

Her question: "Why do you make so many jokes about Chinese people?"
