Give Me Your Money and Mine, Too!

John Price started The Good Clean Funnies List in December of 1996. He sends out good clean jokes and stories once a day. Granted, the word clean can mean different things to different people. John defines “clean” as something appropriate for both sexes, and something family members and friends of all ages can enjoy together with zero foul language or subject matter.  John’s byline is taken from Proverbs 17:22, “A cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine”, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about where John stands.

If I’m describing the type of humor that you enjoy, please take a moment to subscribe to John’s mailing list. You can find him at GFL.net. It’s the Good Clean Funnies List and I heartily recommend it. I’ve been reading John’s funnies for years now. Today’s Southern Chuckle actually came to GCFL via a reader named John Turner. As soon as I read it, I emailed Mr. Price and requested permission to share this one with y’all. He has been gracious enough to give me his permission and I’m glad. Not only do I think it’s funny, I also find it nail-on-the-head timely. But, maybe that’s just me. I’ll let you decide for yourself.

The way the story goes, it was late one night in the big city when a mugger wearing a ski vest jumped out of the shadows and into the path of a well-dressed man. Sticking a gun in the man’s ribs, the mugger made his demands, “Give me your money!”

Obviously indignant, the affluent man replied, “You can’t do that to me. I’m a United States Congressman!”

In that case, replied the mugger, “Give me MY money!”
