Humor Monday Update 6/23/08

This Monday the Humor Gang is back to speed after Fathers Day. More than twenty essays, poems and cartoons to tickle your funny bone. Like clockwork, here we are: hoards of starving writers to help you start your week off on a happy note.


Not only are there plenty of posts here to get your week off to an amusing start, there is excellent prose and poetry as well.

Three articles are featured today Via Con BIOS, Old Friend  by Chris Carlisle There comes a time in every nerd's life when he has to say good-bye to an old friend. A Sea of Bureaucracy by Greg Schiller As a professional meeting facilitator, I can advise you never accept a bureaucratic assignment. and Blokes Shouldn't Cook by Pat M. Why men don't cook even though they could if they wanted to.
