Vote a Joke into Readers Digest July 2008

We’re always being sent contributions for our phenomenally popular Laughter, The Best Medicine section. Some of the jokes are obvious winners. Some of the jokes are ancient, are unfit for public consumption or just don’t make the grade (and occasionally, all three). And then there are the rest: the jokes that get our Jokes Editor scratching his chin and wondering, “Is this one good enough to print?” Now you can help him choose. We’ve picked five jokes from the “maybe” pile. Vote for the one you think is the best. The top-rated joke as of July 11, 2008 will be published in the magazine – and net its author $150.
