Unashamedly stolen from a forum I am known to haunt -
I used to tell my dad that I knew more than he did. His answer, "I hope so. I taught you everything I know. So all you had to do was learn one thing on your own."
My grandpa always told me, "Once is ignorance, twice is stupidity but it's always best not to be ignorant!"

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
True story, but I find hilarious being from NJ.
My best friend of 52 years, Mike has a co-worker that was relocated from TN.
After several months the co-worker says "NJ is not at all different from any other state".
Mike's response was "We don't take that as a compliment"

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
This reminded me of a time when I was sitting behind the pilot in a 7-seat Cessna that was landing in the Outback. Just before we were about to touch down a gust of wind hit from behind, and our speed increase to a level too high to safely land. The pilot said quite loudly "Oh s..t!"...
(Sequel: we hit very hard and he pulled us back into the air and just cleared the trees past the end of the runway. Hence I can tell the story!
