I got a couple right but my dimentia is showing. Now, can anyone tell me why these jokes are in such large writing? It would be simpler to copy and paste on to a document, reformat and then post it in normal print size. It a nuisance to have to keep scrolling down the huge writing over too many lines to read them. They take up so much space that way.
