Two birds were arguing whether a tree was a son of a beech or son of a birch. A woodpecker came along and being an expert would settle the argument. He pecked on the tree and said neither son of a beech or son of a birch. That's the sweetest piece of ash I ever stuck my pecker in.

Norman Conquest before you tell me that's an old one--I heard it in the 1950's.

I would not say a disparaging word; Heaven knows, I tell a lot of old ones myself.

Yes I know you tell some old ones. In the past you have pointed out that others are old.

I'm fixing to tell another.

The Humor forum is my daily fix for laughs. And then there is Saturday with The Week in Pictures. . . . . . .

It might be as old as me (I doubt any jokes are that old) but I've never heard it before and I found it very entertaining. Thanks carpetman1.

I'm challenging myself to tell it at least twice today.

As you know, there are very few 'new' jokes, mostly variations on a theme. A few years ago I started a subject, I think it was on the misc. Forum that said just to post the punchline of your joke. It got a great response + everybody knew the joke just from that. It was a hoot.
