Need something FUNNY for International Joke Day? Here are some JOKES about NEWS and PUBLIC RELATIONS

SAN MATEO, Calif. - EntSun -- SO…Whatcha got cookin' for International Joke Day?

*Got some jokes you can't tell about your boss?

*Got some jokes you don't dare tell in public?

Here are some jokes you could post in the newsroom's bathrooms, or maybe in the Newsroom as well.

1) NEED A NEWSPAPER JOKE FOR INTERNATIONAL JOKE DAY?

(You might want to run it as a headline, too…)

HERE IS THE JOKE:

"Whenever anyone asks me if newspapers are dying and if anyone reads newspapers anymore,

I tell them "Wait until some newspaper writes something bad about you, you'll think everyone in the world saw that article."

2) I also wrote a slightly sarcastic poem about the news business called "Slow News Day."

Here is the poem:

"SLOW NEWS DAY"

Copyright 2017, Robert M. Barrows

I was scanning the wires for news

and I couldn't find nothing...

No killings, no wars, no fires,

no thefts, no car crashes,

not even some liars.

Nothing to write about,

not even bad weather...

I can't believe nothing bad happened...

Maybe tomorrow will be better?

You might also enjoy these two jokes I wrote about the Public Relations Business…

3) "When I meet with prospective clients to talk about my fees for various kinds of public relations services, I tell them that there are basically two types of Public Relations work…trying to get your name into the news, and trying to keep your name out of the news.

If they want me to try to keep their name out of the news, I tell that that will cost a lot more."

4) When people ask me about the best ways to measure the effectiveness of public relations efforts, I tell them that you can always use the traditional way of measuring Public Relations efforts by seeing how much news coverage you get…

In each case, the lower the number the better!"
