FAQ INDEX

Harry's Jokes are a compilation of the best jokes from the internet. Harry's Jokes are broadcast to hundreds of readers in dozens of countries around the world every day with no advertising and no crap.  This list is moderated!  Only the list owner may post to the list.  However, submissions are welcome. 

Typical stuff distributed via this mailing list would include: jokes, funny stuff, humor, laughables, and similar items.  Get it? 

I have never asked for money as a condition of subscription.  The term "subscription" probably is what makes people think it costs.  There is no fee to join the list.  Anyone may join (well, except certain boneheads but that's a different story) without cost. 

I will say this, running a list like this isn't cheap.  It takes a monthly fee to my provider, plus a lot of my time as the list owner to select jokes and pretty them up for your consumption.  I'm not asking for money, but if you like the list, a nice note of thanks is always appreciated. 

However, if anyone wants to make a contribution to the list, you are free to contact me at my address below and I will be more than happy to give you instructions on how you may do so.  If anyone does send money, well, I'll find some way to acknowledge you on the list's homepage for your thoughtfullness, including a link to your own page if you like, and you will have my eternal gratefullness.

That's it.  Welcome to the club.

 Unsubscribing from the list

Now that you're here, there may come a time that you'd want to leave the list (I know, it's unthinkable, but it happens)  When that happens, here's how to get off the list. 

To unsubscribe, send a new message to

with the following command in the BODY of the message, or in the Subject ...

     UNSUBSCRIBE

That's it.  You will be unsubscribed immediately. { Major depression should set in withing 24 hours.  :) }

Well, honestly, I monitor over thirty different joke lists and get nearly a hundred jokes a day from them, so the chances are whatever you submit, I have already seen, but feel free to do so.

You can submit jokes by sending e-mail to:

If you are forwarding a joke for consideration, please do the following...

1. Supply a subject line. 
2. Strip any forwarded headers.  We want jokes, not headers.
3. Remove quote marks.   I HATE seeing tons of ">" all over the place.
4. Try to make it look easily readable.

Trashy looking email that is sent to me will be ignored.  I provide a quality product and expect you to do the same.  Please keep our world clean.

Please consider forwarding subscription information about this list to your friends so that they can share as well. 

Submitting a joke on your part does not require publication on my part. If I like it, I post it.  If not, tuff.   It may be that I posted it once already recently.  And it may take a while to show up.  Be patient, but don't resubmit the same joke over and over again.  I hate it when that happens.

Finally, if you can't play by the rules, go find another sandbox to dig in, okay?

I'm very aggressive when it comes to bounced email.  If e-mail to you starts bouncing, I'll drop you from the list fairly quickly; you'll have to resubscribe when you get the problem fixed.  You'll get no notice that you were dropped due to bouncing, other than the fact that the joke flow stops. 

This is my standard line about the content of the list.  I don't write the stuff, I just forward it. 

Not everyone has the same sense of humor I do.  Some are actually even sicker than I am.  :)  But this is your only advance warning.  Some material is not suitable for certain people. 

IF YOU ARE OFFENDED EASILY BY THINGS LIKE THE "F" WORD OR SEXUAL CONTENT, THEN PLEASE GO AWAY NOW. 

The majority of the jokes I get anymore are full of this stuff.  In fact, you probably ought to go ahead and cancel your internet account cause you're gonna see if somewhere out here.  If not here, then elsewhere.  So you have been warned. 
None of my jokes are RRR or XXX.
Some have an adult flavor and have a (A) in the 'Subject'.
Others are of a general nature and have a (G) in the 'Subject'.

As for political correctness, I never have nor likely will I ever claim to be politically correct. Sure, I don't care for diminutive comments about African-American or Polish people, as I have friends that fit in both categories, but I don't go through great pains to make everything that is passed through this mailing list and subsequently added to this site politically correct and offensive to no one. If I tried doing that, the amount and quality of the jokes that would make it to the list would quickly decline.

Face it folks, none of the crap on this list will mean a thing in the grand scheme of life.  Other than to provide amusement, it serves no purpose. So, if you get offended, be offended in your own yard.  Unsub if you wish, it's your right.  But don't go wasting my time about it.  Read line two of this section again.  I don't write this stuff, I just forward it. 

And to make it official... The views and opinions of the listowner, my service provider, the internet at large, are not necessarily represented in any of the content output by this list.

As far as copyright goes,it does NOT mean that I have the copyright to the individual jokes. Copyright of the individual jokes remains the property of the original author.

As far as credit goes, many joke lists are hung up on giving credit to which list they stole the joke from to begin with.  This is a little silly, don't you think?  After all, the list I stole a joke from most likely stole it from someone else who stole it from some other list.  So why credit who I stole it from?  Exactly my point.  So that's why I don't credit other lists. 

Live long and prosper. Thanks for playing. You have a good day now. Buh-bye.
