Joke of the Week: Gray Matters

June 12, 2017

It's Monday, which means it's time for your weekly dose of locavore levity: the Joke of the Week! This week's joke comes from Salisbury's Tony Bates. Take it away, Tony…

I've been reading a lot of online advice articles recently, but they're written for millennials. Articles like "Top 10 College Majors in the U. S." or "Top Five Sports Cars for 2017." Nothing I can use.

I need something written for my demographic. Articles like "How to Get Your 27-Year-Old the Hell Out of the House." Or "How to Get Your Wife to Have Sex With You Twice in the Same Winter." Or "Man-scaping: A Gray Area."

Something I can use.

About That Joke

Says Bates: I'm a middle-aged, middle-class white guy. Really easy to forget about.
