[cyberjoke3000] September 24, 2015



It's Al Lowe's CyberJoke 3000™

Have you ever noticed how restaurants and TV shows refrain from singing “Happy Birthday?” That's because for decades they've been forced to pay royalties if they did. But this week a U.S. District Judge in Los Angeles ruled that the song is in the public domain. He said the copyright filed in 1935 by the Summy-Birchard Company applied only to one specific arrangement and not to the song itself; that they never acquired the rights to the song's lyrics; and the defendant’s claims were “implausible and unreasonable.” So at your next birthday party, sing away, even if it's in public! (If you’re interested, the entire 43-page court case is here:)

"You look lovely, my dear!" gushed the wedding guest to the bride. She then whispered, "Whatever happened to that ditzy blonde your groom used to date?" The bride replied, "I dyed my hair."

A New Zealand man was on trial for fornicating with a sheep. The key witness was an old fella who testified, "Well, I saw this sheep just'a eatin' grass and then the defendant walked up from behind the sheep kinda quiet-like and he unbuckled his belt and he pulled that sheep close." "And then what?" "Well, they kinda shook around for a while. But, afterwards, that sheep turned around an' ...licked him!" One jury member leaned over to another and said, "Ya know, a good sheep'll do that!"
