Why They Are Single

Jimmy Fallon asked his audiences of single, widowed or divorced people (SWORD?) to tell him why they have not married.

Thousands of people responded.  Here are a couple of the responses:

I once paid for a dating site, and my ex came up as a 100% match.

My girlfriend texted me asking if she had gained weight.

I answered, "Nooo!"  But my autocorrection app changed it to "Mooo!" So I am single again.

Jokes?

The Joke Hall of Fame has collected a lot of jokes for consideration.  I'm surprised that some are just "one-liners" tossed out by television performers in their monologues. I consider a joke to be like a speech, with an opening, body and conclusion. Most "one-liners" do not have that format.

Anyway, here are a couple of "jokes" being looked at:

Emo Phillips

"At my lemonade stand, I used to give the first glass away free of charge.

I charged $5 for the second glass because the refill contained the antidote."

George Burns

"Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope!"

Loneliness

An Egyptian widow missed her husband so much after 4 years that she dug up his grave site.  The only remaining feature of her husband was his skull.

She was carrying the skull out of the graveyard with plans for a family picnic, when a policeman caught her and charged her with grave desecration.
