I don't know about you, but I really need something to distract me from all the news about Putin and Ukraine, the Middle East and Donald Trump (the most dangerous man in the world). By the way, dictators and authoritarians lack a sense of humour. They can's laugh at themselves. Trump is a perfect example. That's why he refused to attend the White House Correspondent's' Dinner during his time in the Oval Office. He just couldn't take being the butt of jokes in the 2011 dinner by then-President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Myers. In contrast, Obama is able to joke about his big ears and his shortcomings. Can you imagine Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or Putin poking fun at themselves?
So, since I believe in the old adage that laughter is the best medicine, here are some riddles and jokes for a spring day.
