The Lighter Side! Keep any jokes clean. No video clips and you'll be fine.. If your humour is of a milder variety, please do not make an issue of the intensity of the jokes here. We do not all share the same values and standards, let alone the same humour. Just keep that in mind. Moderators: Admin-Gerald, eleni
