It’s my blog-birthday. Laugh Quotes is One Year Old. Yes, I am a toddler now. Holy cow – I almost missed it. In honor of this auspicious day I have decided to start a meme, which would have to involve laughs.
Last week I told a joke. You laughed and I concluded that the Silly Sunday joke experiment was a success to be shared. So, with the goal of laughter in mind, I am pleased to announce . . .
Simple rules really. (And a promise from me to visit and comment on your joke)
- Post a joke
- Link Up with the URL to your joke (every Sunday, if you want)
- Read my joke
- Leave a comment to tell me how much you enjoyed my joke (and remember to tick comment luv so it will link back to your blog).
- Try and visit a few other participating jokes.

Italian Tomato Garden
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.
His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year.
I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.
I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.Love,
Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie
At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

Shout out to my friend Heather for sending that joke. (Heather, you should start a blog and do Silly Sunday!)
Now, a few questions because this was my first time. Be gentle. Like the meme idea? What did you think of my Silly Sunday banner? Any other thoughts, suggestions, compliments or votes on picket fence would be appreciated.
Happy Bloggy Birthday!

I don’t know good from bad, only what makes me laugh and what doesn’t. LOL. It is your upcoming birthday blogfest that got me thinking I should do something for mine, but it was sooner than I realized
Happy Blog-Birthday! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year, that’s been a lot of chuckling so thank you. I love that joke too, a great way to start my Sunday

I think it doesn’t feel like a year because the first few months sucked so bad. I didn’t really get into the current look until the beginning of the year. But I am glad you are laughing, and following. See you next Sunday with a new joke, and lots of fun in between.

Yay! Thanks for using the banner. I wanted to have a copy the banner button, but I couldn’t get it to work. Thanks for linking up, thanks for the birthday wishes, and thanks for your on-going support.
Looks good! Nice way to get the garden dug. Congrats on moving to spot two on the Picket Fence. My links on posts haven’t been working so I’ve slipped quite a bit.

Thanks Joyce. I was pretty surprised to see that I moved up on Picket Fence. There are four of us quite close together. I have your link on my iGoogle, so I vote from there everyday.
Thanks Rhonda. Sorry I’m not participating in your hop. It’s not good for me today.

No worries Joyce. Sorry to hear your news. This is what happens when you do a hop with no notice. Maybe next week will be better
