Here's the
Joe-kster searching for the next great groaner joe-k!

... or researching the latest
DUBM joe-ks...

A no-compromise guy - why settle for a Toupée when you can have a Threepée?

Send me the best of your clean groaner joe-ks, and
if it's (1) unique to the site; and
(2) selected by the Joe-kster as being 'joe-ksworthy',
we'll mention you in the
“Honourable
Mention” page
(NB to all Americans re the 'u' in Honourable, eh!)
and send you a joe-ks.com pen (if you send us your address - all info kept
confidential...);
If your suggestion is really good, you may also qualify for the
“Get
Stuffed” award...
(or you can send me lots of money - American please since our
Canadian peso is pretty sick right now...)
(PS: Wifey would like suggestions about how to make money from this site, but
I'm having too much fun to think about my ROI or break-even point...)
