You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing! GCFL is an acronym for the Good, Clean Funnies List.
GCFL.net is a web page and mailing list for distributing one GOOD, CLEAN joke a
day, five days a week, for free!
We hope you will enjoy a joke in the morning before
the start of your day that you will want to share with your family and
friends.
If you like your email box filled with jokes both clean and rated, you should
join any one of the other humor lists. However, if you want only one joke a
day (no more than five per week) that are clean enough to share with your
family and friends, GCFL.net is the list for you.

A citizen of substantial wealth was approached for a major contribution to a community financial campaign. The urgent need and compelling case were
stated, and the proposal made.
The man responded: "I understand why you think I can give you $100,000. Yes, I own a thriving business, and I exhibit all the signs of affluence. But
there are some things you don't know. Did you know my Mother is in an expensive retirement home?" The visiting solicitors had to admit they
didn't.
"Did you know also that my brother died with almost no life insurance to support his wife and four children?" Again the response was "No."
"And," he continued, "Did you know my son is deeply religious and has gone into social work? He makes less than the national poverty level to support
himself and his family." Almost embarrassed, his visitors had to admit they had no idea.
He finally dismissed them saying, "Well then, if I don't give any of them a penny, why do you think I'll give anything to you?"
Received from Steve Anderson.
