Introduction Page

The Great "gideon1.net" sites have no cookies, no popups,
no ads, no requests for money or anything,
nor does it try to collect any information about you or your source.
This site has become my "hobby," and I enjoy working
with it on my own time and at my own expense.
I only hope that you can enjoy all the effort I put into it. ---Lester

I know that every reader of this site has received at one time or other, lots of jokes, stories and cartoons over the internet by E-Mail from friends, or even by SPAM. Now I am sure most of you have passed them on, and probably all of you have at one time or other just erased them. We, like you then, do erase some, usually the really bad ones. But the cute ones, we have saved to another folder called "Jokes." One day I noted that there were over 400 in the folder. I figured it was time to clean them off to make room for newer ones. Then I got the idea to take the better ones (in my opinion) and put them on one of my web sites. This is not intended to be a site to show off these items. Rather it is a site reporting on showing those items, now at the time of listing, that are going around the web. So, here is my selection. You can start by clicking on the link below.

If you may be offended by jokes you consider too personal, ethnic, political or religious, then perhaps this site is not for you. We all laugh at ourselves, and within our groups. Yet, somehow we do not laugh when someone outside the group says something humorous about our group. So, please rest assured that this site may have some thoughts presented humorously about some things in your group. We have, however, found that the sources for those items are from within the groups discussed. So, please do not get mad at us. All statements and arguments are those of the authors. And, we do not necessarily agree or disagree with any arguments offered, or policy statements given in the name of "freedom." And, during the time coming up to elections, there will be an abundent of political stuff, and I will try to show them all while being neutral.

I know that some of you will want to send me your choice items also. If they fit my qualifications for inclusion, I will put them on in coming weeks. One of the greatest suppliers, since the start of these pages, is Reuben Borenstein, others include John Gideon and Eric & Rochelle. And there is a sprinking of others who keep sending in one or two periodically.

If perchance I have some on here that are copyrighted that should be removed, I will gladly remove them if notified about that fact, and requested to do so.

Another thing, you may not get the punch lines in some if you do not speak English well, nor if you do not understand how American English has double meanings. And, oh yes, please remember these are jokes and stories that are mostly fabricated. Be careful and do not believe anything you read as being gospel truth.

While some may be R rated, I do not think I have any that are X or XXX rated. However, I would suggest that if you are under 18, you should go elsewhere on the web for looking at such things.

Some items require that you have Power Point or Flash or Windows Media or equivalent viewers. Quite often the incoming messages have links to some story, or something. Therefore, some of these included pages have links back to that original source. Sometimes, these sites have closed or moved making their links unuseable. I would appreciate feedback if you notice this to be the case.

Feel free to copy any of the material for you own personal use.

And one more thing. Only when you see "Ed Notes:" will you read my own comments; otherwise all comments are those as received from the sender. And, if you wish to challenge the remarks of some of the so called referenced materials, as possibly false, go to snopes.com or truthorfiction.com and in the search block type in the name of the subject or key words in the article.
