The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
my A does some service volunteer work, mostly speaking, and he knows a zillion AA jokes. he's told me one about Al-Anon, that i didn't really understand until recently! i'll share ...
how many Al-Anons does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
none. they all detach and the lightbulb screws itself.
ok after living with him for 4 months, i finally GET this joke!
Oh... don't get me started, lol.... My favorite joke is about the eggs...
The Al-Anon wife gets up early on Monday, and makes her A husband two scrambled eggs for breakfast. He sits down to the table, and is mad. She asks what is wrong, and he grunts "I wanted poached". On Tuesday morning, she gets up early again and makes him two poached eggs for breakfast. He sits down to the table, and is mad again. She asks what is wrong, and he grunts "Today I wanted scrambled". Frustrated, she racks her brain all day long to try to figure out how to finally please him.... She has an "aha" moment, and gets up on Wednesday morning and makes her hubby two eggs, one poached, and one scrambled. She sits back to watch him sit down at the table, and is quite proud of herself. Hubby sits down to the table and is mad yet again. She asks incredulously "how can you possibly be angry??? I made you one poached, and one scrambled!". To which, the hubby responds "you scrambled the wrong egg!!"
There is also another version of the lightbulb joke...
Q. How many alcoholics does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. Change???
