This is a nice topic, one that I’ve toyed with for a long time, and I also have a set of cards to draw on, as I have terrible memory for jokes. At Friday night’s dance, when sound person was having a problem prior to start of a dance, I found no jokes came to mind, so asked the dancers. One came up with this: What do you call a cow that has just given birth? … pause … De-calf-inated (roars of laughter and groans) chuck _________________________ Charles (Chuck) Galt Petaluma, CA From: Isaac Banner via Callers Sent: Monday, September 24, 2018 12:50 PM To: Callers(a)Lists.Sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] A Call for Caller Jokes Hey everyone, Improbably, I've found that I've reached the bottom of my barrel of jokes to tell while calling! Part of it might be that I go through more than just 1 or 2 on some nights.... Regardless, I've found that I need to restock my box of dance-safe humor a bit if I'm going to keep up my infamous taste for humor. What are some of your favorite dance-safe jokes that are short enough to pepper in-between dances or before a walkthrough? Thanks, Isaac Banner

Hi All, The main band that I worked with years ago loved to pull “tricks” on me. The fiddler used to refer to “ring around the caller” whenever I taught a dance from the middle of the circle. John B. Freeman SFTPOCTJ.
