I've got one. I thought I'd keep it slightly topical:

A couple goes out to dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. On the way home, she notices a tear in his eye and asks if he's getting sentimental because they're celebrating 50 wonderful years together.

He replies, "No, I was thinking about the time before we got married. Your father threatened me with a shotgun and said he'd have me thrown in jail for 50 years if I didn't marry you. Tomorrow I would've been a free man!"

LOL that is so so funny!!

i love these, oh and good luck to all of us on those approvals...here goes...

Little Johnny was on a park bench stuffing all of his Halloween candy in his mouth. An old lady came over and said. "Son, don't you know that eating all of that candy will rot your teeth, give you acne, and make you sick?"

"My grandfather lived to be 105 years old!" replied Johnny.

"Did he eat five candy bars at a sitting?" the old lady retorted.

"No, said Johnny, but he minded his own freakin' business."

Harsh but true!

So I hope that the boxes with our cases in them are getting closer to the front and some nice person processes them quickly!

Oh and in other news I passed my driving test today. So important for me when I'm in America. I don't really need it here, but thought I should get it done before I move 'across the pond'.

Next the weather...

Of course VSC has died now that they are moments away from touching and approving a lot of our petitions. Fate is so so cruel.

I've been to Jamaica 6 times starting Nov 2007. The first three had nothing to do with him, though.

I'll be making trip #7 next week and trip #8 in May.

I have visited my fiance once, after having known him for 10 years.

If tourist visas and air fares were not so expensive from South Africa, I would have been there more often!

Hey Edin-gal...CONGRATULATIONS on passing your driving test

Congrats on passing the test, so many people in the USA will blow it off and say it's not a big thing but it is for us UK types, I passed mine just over 9 months ago. Word of advice - look up the DMV of the state you're moving to. Some states (NC in my case) will let tourists without intent to migrate drive on their own foreign license (in our case, the card and paper counterpart, with or without the International Drivers Permit), but you cannot use it if you intent to become a resident and must take the local test and get a local license before you can drive there. Bummer for me.

Thanks guys (and BL2B)! Yeah I'm going to check out what the case is in Virginia. But I've been assured that the test in the US is a LOT easier than it is over here. I've just got to learn how to do everything the wrong way round!

To answer the other question by maria teresa, since we started the visa process my fiance has visited me twice and will come over again in May. So it'll be 3 visits in total. Since he moved back to the States in July 2008 I visited 3 times. We are lucky that we can get the time off work and afford to travel. I think it would be unfair for USCIS to expect everyone to be able to do so many visits though.
