Funny Friday...Friday Laugh...
A little humor to end the week
April 13, 2012
Today happens to be Friday the 13th and we will contribute this Friday Funny to the 13!!! While many people stay in its grip and truly
fear this day, there are others who just laugh it off and even make Friday the 13th jokes about it! While some people may be scared out of their wits on Friday the 13th, there are others who don't believe in this superstition and even laugh about it.
Many people come up with their Friday the 13th jokes and there are still other people who have such funny incidents that happen to them on Friday the 13th, that they become Friday the 13th jokes in themselves!
So, if you are one of those people who are not scared to death on Friday the 13th and actually find it amusing, then do share Dodge Park Friday the 13th jokes and experiences if you have any with us and your friends.
Continue Laughing
You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because
you stop laughing! Dodge Park Funny Friday GCFJ is an acronym for the
Good, Clean Funnies Jokes. We hope you will enjoy our Friday morning
jokes before the start of your day that you will want to share them with
your family and friends.
Hope to see you all at our upcoming events.

| The phobia |
Yes, there is an actual phobia of Friday the 13th! It's called, Friggatriskaidekaphobia, and the etymology is broken down as "Frigga" related to the Norse goddess (Njörun) associated with Friday and the Greek word "triskaídeka" referring to the number 13 (thirteen) and "phobia" meaning fear. Put it all together and you have Friggatriskaidekaphobia = The Fear of Friday the thirteenth (13).
Friggatriskaidekaphobia is an anxiety-prone day for some, filled with superstition and the wait for a black cat to cross their path or to step on a crack to break their mother's back. Why is it that there are always ladders around, just waiting for a person to walk under them or a mirror precariously positioned to fall and break when you walk near it?
These days, the superstition of Friday the 13th is diminished and more for amusement than anything else. There are still many that have trepidation over it and if you're one of them, you may find it helpful to try a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy called systematic desensitization or exposure therapy.
Go run under a ladder over and over again, jump on that crack, open an umbrella inside a building... Remember the expression "The only way to get over your fear is to face your fears." Better expressed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
Because of this, I will not push my luck and post a caricaturetoday. Just in case a Mental health hero has a bad day, I don't want them to blame me... | |

| Lost Bag |
A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of shopping at the mall. It was found by an honest little boy, who returned it to her. Looking in her purse, she commented, "Hmm, that's funny. When I lost my bag, there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."
The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward." | | |
| Missing wife..... | |
Roger left for work on Friday 13th morning. Friday was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay packet.
Finally, Roger appeared at home on Sunday night, and obviously he was confronted by his angry wife, Martha who castigated Roger for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally, Martha stopped the nagging and said to Roger, 'How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?'
Roger replied grimly, 'That would be fine with me.'
Monday went by and he didn't see his Martha. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.
On Thursday, the swelling went down just enough so that Roger he could see Martha a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Important things to remember on Friday the 13th: |
|
Never trust a rabbit that tries to sell you his foot. | |
Never walk under a mirror or break a black cat. | |
4-leaf clovers are lucky today -- but not if you smoke them. | |
The number "13" is very unlucky--especially if it's the only one you can get on the drugstore blood pressure machine. | |
| |
Walking under a ladder can be very unlucky today -- especially if it's at the drugstore the 16-year-old with zits is climbing down with a barbecue grill. | |
Stepping on a cricket can very extremely unlucky today -- especially for the cricket. | |
Wearing garlic around your neck today will ward off evil spirits. It will also ward off good spirits, indifferent spirits, and any other spirits with noses. | |
| |
Wearing a lucky penny between your toes means good luck and blisters. | |
For good luck, hang a horseshoe over your front door. For really good luck, hang the entire horse over your front door. | |
|
|
Horseshoes usually bring good luck today, but never trust a horse that wears high heels. | |
If you think walking under a step-ladder is unlucky, try walking under your step-mother. | |
A rabbit's foot can be lucky, unless the rabbit sets foot in your garden, in which case he'll probably eat your stringbeans. |
| | |
| Today is Friday the 13th, unluckiest day of the year, so don't take any unnecessary chances: |
|
Do not tell National Rifle Klan jokes at the Militia Expo. | |
Do not offer to give away your Beanie Baby at a soccer mom's convention. | |
Do not invest heavily in a product called Howard Stern's Ultra-Hold Flea Spray. | |
Do not give Sammy "The Bull" Gravano a lecture on family values. | |
If you're going out for Chinese, do not order the black-cat soup. | |
Do not tell doctor jokes during your prostate exam. |
| |

| The mood before Friday the 13th | |  |
| No ticket on Friday the 13th |
A man bought a new Mercedes to celebrate his wife leaving him and was out on the interstate for a nice evening drive.
The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him.
"There's no way they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100.....Then the reality of the situation hit him. "What am I doing?" he thought and pulled over.
The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car.
"It's been a long hard day, this is the end of my shift and it's Friday the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, I don't need the frustration or the overtime, so if you can give me a really good excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go."
The guy thinks about it for a second and says, "Last week my nagging wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back!"
"Have a nice weekend," said the officer. | | |
