Over the past couple of years since I have been posting Joel, many readers have sent me short stories and jokes. I resisted the admonition to resend them to ten people in my address book or terrible things will happen to me. Most of them I simply delete after I have read them. Some, however, I save because they either make me laugh or make me cry.

These are a few that I like well enough to save.  I did not keep records of the sender. If one of these belongs to you and you want it removed, please let me know. I'm sharing them with you with the hope that you enjoy them.
