JEST-LITTLE MORON JOKES

I SAW A SIGN THAT SAID THIS WAY TO NEW YORK AND I SAT ON IT BUT
IT DIDN'T MOVE.
WE'RE HAVING MORE WEATHER THIS YEAR THAN LAST.
I HAD MUMPS LAST WEEK BUT I'M SWELL NOW.
I CUT OFF THE BUTTONS FROM YOUR COAT AND PUT THEM IN THE POCKET
SO I WOULDN'T LOSE THEM.
I ENCLOSED THE PICTURE IN THE LETTER, BUT TOOK IT OUT SO I
WOULDN'T LOSE IT.
IF YOU DON'T GET THIS LETTER LET ME KNOW.
