Karvs269 with AOL
You disgust me. I am a Jew and have a brother who is an Orthodox Rabbi.
Half of my family was killed in the Holocaust. You have some fucking nerve
making any such comments about the Jews being "loved by no one", you
supremacist FUCKHEAD.
You know, I looked up your profile on AOL and under "Occupation"
it says
student at American University
What saddens me is that if you're truly a college student, then
the admissions program of American University are as follows
Necessary IQ: Single Digit
Ability to Comprehend: At "Dick & Jane" levels
Reading Ability: Ability to read Mono-syllabic words
Brain Activity: Not required

This crap between you and "monika" isnt funny. Keep the jokes coming or find
new work. You will never make a living writing satire to idiots.
We just have to get a better grade of idiots, Jam. First off, let's get
rid of the stupid ones from AOL. That'll cure lots of problems . . .

I have been a subscriber to Joke-A-Day for a couple of years. Most pieces
which you run I have found very humorous and have even sent them on to
friends and relatives. However, the "joke" which you considered "tasteless"
is enough to make me unsubscribe to your service. I am not a reactionary
person, but I can no longer support or with good conscience be associated
with Joke-A-Day from this day forward. In fact, I have never unsubscribed to
an email service or stopped watching a program or movie because it was
offensive.
Your "joke" was more than offensive. Your "joke" was more than tasteless.
Your "joke" is horribly sinful. Not only have you offended Christians
everywhere, you have offended your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Source
of all goodness. Fortunately for you the Lord forgives, as your eternal
salvation is no joke for Him. Hopefully for your sake you will also realize
that your life after death is no joke and you will repent, respect, and turn
to the Lord your God.
You are welcome to run this letter in your email and ridicule me all you
want; I really don't care. However, you need to realize that ridiculing
Jesus Christ is no laughing matter.
God's Blessings to You,
See ya!
Stan with cpbu
Every morning I wake up, turn on the old p/c and read the Joke of the day. I have
had many of laughs. But today I had to listen to you defend what ever, for who knows
what reason. Stick to the jokes please! because Monica just blew you away.
Ebach with AOL
Ray, you're a pompous ass !!
At least I don't have to use AOL as my main email account.
Diggity with Yahoo
It saddens me that you gave "someone" like that tunnelled visioned,
flea on a tick Monika any time at all. Do you really thing that
"people" like that deserve a voice? It's her kind that incite others
of her kind to shoot human beings because of the way they look, or
where they are gathered! Cases in point, the recently murdered postman
Mr. Iletto and those innocent children in L.A. Giving her an audience
the size of yours just gives credence to her sick, dangerous kind.
Bullshit.
The best way to destroy evil like hers is to cast a light on it.
Stand up to it and ridicule it at every opportunity.
Hiding and ignoring them is just EXACTLY what worked for
Nazi Germany. That's the coward's way out.
Berws with AOL
What kind of garbage are you wasting internet time and people's time with.
Grow up and find something interesting to print that helps society instead of
ridicules it. I don't feel like paying for AOL time to read your crap so
delete us from you file ASAP.
David with bellsouth
Hello Ray
I am a Messianic Jew. Which I am Jewish & I believe in Jesus Christ. Do you
have a problem with that?? It sounds like you might. Watch how you answer the
question. I can cause a scene and it is not a pretty sight.
Well, David, you may be a believer in Christ, a Jew, and even
a Messianic Jew, but above all else you're dumber than a box
of rocks.
Cause your scene, would you? I'd love to hear them laugh
in your face.
Philip in South Africa
I gues there was quite alot of comment's about the wwjd69 joke . so tell me why pack out on monica, ILL tell you you smuck
You feel quilty as hell and now you pack out on a woman, that's disgusting off you and in your comment's to her you talk in cirkles you make a fool off yourself trying to defend your tastless joke's the fack is i dont know how they can allow you to walk the streets they should put you away in the Dezerd for the scorpions to chew on because they eat shit
Get a life man!!!
Novus with AOL
You were correct when writing back to Monica. Jesus was a Jew. But not all
during his life. He was born and then became a Jew, stayed in the temple,
and His parents found Him three days later. I am sure you are familiar with
the story. Then Jesus founded the Catholic religion, and became the head of
it. The night before he died, he passed on his power to St. Peter, who
became the first pope of the Catholic religion.
Unlike Monica, I am into religion THAT much, so please don't make jokes about
Jesus. If you do someday you will regret it.
Keith with hotmail
No offense, Ray, I enjoy your jokes and all, but don't you find it a bit
cowardly to air your dirty laundry with ALL your subscribers when you have a
dispute with one of your subscribers? I really think it's between you and Monica
and I think it would show more class if you kept it that way.
No Keith, you've missed the point completely.
And unfortunately, you're about the 6th letter in a row that's
missed the point and I'm getting pretty pissed off about it.
Must be something about the folks who are coming on late
at night -- everyone else all day long figured out the purpose
behind the edition.
Monica was stupidly evil. Letting evil like that escape the
light of day is *wrong*. So I did what I do best: I used my
sarcasm and the ability to use someone's words against
them to try and get HER to see how stupid and racist she
was. When my first attempt failed (my letter went right over
her head) I decided to expose her particular brand of
stupidity the world.
How was it *cowardly*, Keith? *Her* name and email address
isn't out there for the world to go after *her*. But mine is.
I took the courage to put *my* name on this publication
and I *protected* the racist. How is *that* cowardly?
I'm tired and I'm pissed that people are as stupid as I've
always feared them to be, Keith.
Colleen with AOL
Okay so apparently you find it funny to make fun of people you find stupid by
giving them awards. I don't get that. Why was this Monika person so stupid
anyway? I mean really all she said was like "please don't insult god insult
jews instead" well what is so stupid about that? And are they paying you to
write these emails where you ramble? Cuz whatever they're paying you is way
too much. A donkey could do a better job.
Well then, if a donkey could do a better job, I suggest you
start your own mailing list. Then we can check that theory
of yours -- literally.
ok I'm sorry but you didn't answer my question. Do you have some sadistic
sense of humor making fun of dumb people? SOOOO SORRY if the donkey comment
insulted you - a donkey would at least have known it was a joke.
I made fun of you, Colleen. It didn't make my day but I was
happy to do it.
So yeah, I guess you could say that I have a sense of humor
about making fun of stupid people.
You keep saying that "a donkey could do a better job" and
you know that "a donkey would at least have known . . . " This
leads me to believe that (1) you're a donkey or (2) you're mating
with them on a regular basis -- there's something going on there
for you to get such a keen insight into them.
Andrew in England
I enjoy getting Joke-a-day and please continue sending. But I don't enjoy
getting rants, whatever the side.
Never mind if she's never heard of Adolf (not Adolph) and Eva (or even Jesus
Christ, for hissakes). Never mind your response, tongue in cheek, sarcastic
or whatever. Never mind her response. No, you lost that exchange, for one
big reason: you made it too long and tedious. Thanks to your reply, my
sympathies are now with Monika! You weren't 'tongue in cheek', you were
sarcastic, polemical, and sarcasm will never silence the offended.
Constructive suggestion: Please keep it short. An ironic sentence or two
(not a sarcastic full-blown essay) is most effective. My suggestion:
"Many thanks for your contribution to the great debate about Christians and
Jews. I hear what you say and will take into consideration your views. But
isn't a forum on AOL the best place to discuss this sort of thing? Sincerely, Ray"
Hope you can take this constructively. Already I'm being too longwinded
about it, and am losing the game myself!
Good lord . . .
Andrew the complete and utter denseness of Monika was
something that deserved to be lampooned and made fun of.
If I could have thought of more stuff to say, the whole thing
would have been even longer.
You're a truly scary individual that would actually side with
such a person such as Monika because, in your opinion, the
opposing view was too thorough. You'd prefer to "table a
debate" than to get it out there? That's *scary*.
Isn't that how Nazi Germany got started? "Oh, that's ok --
just let 'em have Poland, if we don't make trouble they'll be
satisfied with that."
When I'm presented with stupidity, I do my best to cast a light
on it.
Your suggested response:
"Many thanks for your contribution to the great debate about Christians and
Jews. I hear what you say and will take into consideration your views. But
isn't a forum on AOL the best place to discuss this sort of thing?
is NOT funny. Take a gander at the return address on this email.
*JOKE* A Day. Get that? It's supposed to be funny. Sarcasm,
tongue-in-cheek, and making fun of people is *funny*.
You want to have intellectual debates with racists, you do
so on your own time. I've got a joke list to run.
twruss with AOL
Hey asshole take me off of your mail list. I'm tired of reading all the
other trivial bullshit that accompanies your lame jokes
MMAN70VET with AOL
Hey! What the helicopter is all this Barbara Strisand your giving out? Joke a
day remember who gives a royal fly'n horse shut about all your personnel
problems. Joke a day? this is horse shut Knock it off. No one wants to hear
this crapola!!!!!
Brian with hotmail
I would like to tell you that I thoroughly enjoy reading most of the jokes
you send to me; however, I do not really care for the attacks on
Christians/Jesus. I realize that not everyone believes the same way that I
do-- and I respect that, but that does not mean that I condone your
statements of evil.
I am writing to say that your WWJD joke the other day was despicable. I
am a Christian, and I wouldn't expect you to understand my point of view.
Thus, I take it that is why you have no qualms about trying to make a
mockery of the Almighty.
In addition, I think that your "Dweeb Letter" reply was unsuitable
considering these circumstances. I am not by any means trying to defend
Monika's letter--she wrote like a dweeb that is soon to be bludgeoned to
death with a menorah. Despite her need to be "Hooked on Phonics", I do
agree with her statement that your attacks on Christians are
unnecessary. What I do not understand is why you even brought up the fact
that she is an AOL user? That is totally irrelevant.
In retrospect, I hope that you will be more sensitive to the content of
your jokes. It is one thing to poke fun at an AOL user, but it is another
to poke fun at a power that you obviously do not understand.
I will look forward to seeing your jokes in the future.
You come from the mistaken point of view that I'm *not* a
Christian. I *am*. Just because I choose to make fun of God
and Jesus doesn't lessen my Christian beliefs.
I didn't *point out* that Monika was from AOL. That's my
format for identifying letter writers. Always has been.
I won't ever be sensitive to my jokes except in this respect:
they must make me laugh. That's it. Everyone gets his or
her turn in the barrel. Even God. Trust me -- he's "big enough"
to take some kidding.
I guess you sure put me in my place. A person's actions should not
cause me to jump to conclusions about his standing with Christ. You
may very well be a Christian; however, your conduct is not becoming of
one. I sincerely hope and pray that you really *are* a Christian, because
I, like all Christians, yearn for more people to be saved so that they can
go to heaven. Since you *are* a Christian, maybe you should begin using
your spectacular influence on winning more people to Christ. If you decide
to do this, I hope that you find witnessing to people just as rewarding as
I have.
And just to set the record straight, you *did* point out that Monika was an AOL user.
By the way, God is big enough to take a few jokes- however inappopriate they
may be. The question is whether or not you are big enough to answer for them
at Heaven's Pearly Gates, when God asks you, "Why should I let you into my Heaven?"
Wasn't trying to "put you in your place" -- was more trying to
get you to see the flaws in your opinions.
How much more "energized" are you about your witnessing
when you run across a Christian such as myself? How much
more does it make you want to get out *your* side of the story?
Surely, you're not going to be egotistical enough to claim you
know God's Will. So you MUST allow that God uses me to
make more "traditional" evangelists like *you* more effective.
Didn't see that one coming, did you?
For the record: I DID NOT point out that Monika was an AOL
user. Identifying her as such (following my standard identification
procedures) does NOT equate to pointing her out. If you're going
to espouse opinions as facts, then you better get those facts
*straight*.
And yes, I'm going to be "big enough" to answer for my actions
when I stand in front of the Lord on Judgement Day. I will be
invited into the special category of people who made others
*laugh*. I'll thank God for giving my sense of humor to me and
providing me with the intelligence to spread it far and wide.
I'm not the least bit unsure of where *I* will wind up after I die,
Brian. If you have *any* doubts, then I'd start to question my
faith, were I you.
Deane with AOL
Please take my name off of your mailing list. I realize that I inadvertently
subscribed to jokeaday thinking that they would be even off-color jokes but
this crap about and with Monica is too much for me.
Obviously the unsubscribe instructions are too much for you,
too. Guess you'll be sticking around . .
For your smart-ass information, I happen to be an administrator in a general
hospital and was under the impression that a joke a day would be entertaining
to say the least. I can do without your insults!!!!!!!!!!! There is a big
difference. I guess that I just did not take the time to read the instructions as to
unsubscribing and most certainly not because of lack of intelligence. The
"lack of intelligence" was subscribing in the first place and I did so
because of the superb integrity and intelligence of the person that sent the
link to me.
Gawd, please tell me what hospital so my loved ones and I
steer clear of it.
Tell me, when something's botched up at the hospital administrator's
office, you blame the chief surgeon? I mean, did the person who
sent the link to you hold a gun to your head for you to subscribe?
Why are you blaming someone else for your subscription to Joke A Day?
You're a hospital administrator and you "don't take the time
to read the instructions"??? Jesus Christ -- I hope your hospital's
malpractice insurance is paid up. With you administering the place
it's going to need it. Good heavens, I'd certainly never want to
hear that the hospital administrator in the hospital *I'm* staying at
admits that he has a "lack of intelligence". Are you some sort of
"Workfare / Welfare Program" experiment gone horribly wrong?
Steve with AOL
Monica is obviously an anti-Jewish, bigot and hypocrite. Not all AOL
users are as ignorant as she. Sorry you decided to generalize about AOL
users. In doing so you show signs of degenerating to the same mental state
as Monica. Generalizing is neither logical or rational thinking.
Anthony with AOL
I enjoy most of your material, but have read the last of your tyrants against
people you assume are so inferior to you. If 17 percent of your readers are
AOL subscribers, I hope you took a hefty subscription loss after the August 3
"Judi" award. So what if she uses AOL and is happy about it? You probably
drive a car that's not as good as hers, but she doesn't fault you for that.
Give it a rest. I'm just sick of your high and mighty attitude, and for that reason, I can
get my daily humor somewhere else.
Norbert with nscc
Though superannuated, you are an adolescent nevertheless. And like an adolescent,
you lack judgment. Due to that lack, you have crossed the line from funny to
offensive. Also, like an adolescent, you try to substitute intelligence for
judgment. Usually, the realization that the former cannot replace the latter
comes with time but, given your current maturity, it's doubtful whether or not you
will ever achieve that insight.
Let me express my genuine sympathy for the needless pain and unhappiness your lack of
judgment will cause you in the future. On the bright side, perhaps you'll grow up.
Nevertheless, the side of your personality that you have displayed really is
offensive and I want no more part of it. So, at the risk of arousing your adolescent
ire, I will unsubscribe. Good luck, Ray. You're going to need it.
Yawn.

Danielle with AOL
I missed the Jesus joke!!! And this woman is just stupid, I didn't know
people like that were allowed to breathe! That's just sad! And I'm sure
you're quite handsome. And I love Jews and am pround of it, thank you very
much, so much better than Chrisitan men! Love ya, later! And yes, I am an
AOL user, sad but true!
Nikki with AOL
I just wanted to say, that I can't believe just how ignorant some people
can be. I just read the latest dweeb letter and it boggles me why people
would sign up for a JOKE-A-DAY and then get offended. And for the record,
even if they weren't aware what was entailed in signing up to such a service,
at any given moment they could easily be removed. It's sad that these people
can be so umm dimwitted but it adds to my chuckles when I get to read such
stupidity.
Irene with netcom
Bravo!!
What a brilliant column you wrote yesterday. Your exchange with Monika is
hysterical...it's hard to believe someone so dumb can find her way to a
keyboard.
I'm Jewish, so I felt even more involved. I almost wished I was also a
"darkie" and gay! I still have trouble believing people like Monika
exist in this world, but you made the whole thing hysterically funny. She's
so incredibly stupid she didn't realize for a second you were putting her
on, which shows how masterfully you wrote it.
Thanks for sharing your marvelous work.
Rebecca with Yahoo
OMG Ray thanks for the best laughs I had in a long time..are you sure
this is not Monica Lewinsky..and is she wearing a blue dress???
Laughs..how could she not know that Jesus was a Jew..after all over his
head ..(gee did i say head) was hung(omg wonders how well hung) was a
sign that said KING OF THE JEWS duh!!! Congrats to Monica for being a
moron.
Dee with AOL
when you said monika was the joke for today, you didn't even come CLOSE to
being right. She's beyond becing the joke of the day and more like the joke
of the week. people like her give a bad name to mankind in general. i'm
suprised you didn't make a crack about monica lewinsky when you were talkin
about slick willy and being a product of his upbringing or whatever the exact
words were. with her name being monika i was sure the joke was coming and i
was really disappointed that you didn't go there especially with her
complaining about how jesues tastes and all. she's so stupid i couldn't NOT
respond to that though. she is one of those people that deserves whatever she
gets in life though.
CM with AOL
Stop bashing that "poor dumb bitch Monika"..Forgive her, she knows no better.
We Jews who subscribe to AOL, and also have gay children whom we love, have
a huge list of more important people to bash - How about Jesse Helms-Pat
Robertson- the Boy Scouts - oh what is done in the name of Christianity!
Besides, I've always wondered what Jesus tasted like - fish? wine?? manna????
Keep up the cleverness - I enjoy being a new subscriber - just don't take
stupid people seriously.
Tracy with Yahoo
Ray, I have to say I envy your access to a public forum, where you can
help bring the truly ignorant to light.
I can honestly say, that Monika, is one of the most truly ignorant
people of whom I have ever heard. What amazes me, is not only did she
feel the need to respond to your reply, but she didn't feel the need to
object to your insinuation that she may as well be in the KKK, for all
the difference in her views.
I may not appreciate every joke that comes my way via Joke A Day, but
at least I realize they are chosen to appeal the the general public not
me personally.
Megan with arkansas
Oh my goodness! I loved this last "JOKE" that was you and Monika's
e-mail conversations! They were outstanding! The one thing I hate most
when I'm pissed at someone is them turning it into a big joke. That
must have boiled her potatoes even more! *LOL* Good Job! I'm glad to
know there is still someone out there who loves to laugh and make fun of
people (all in good taste of course *S*) as much as I do.
Yael with AOL
I've been a pretty avid reader of your jokes and although some of them aren't
particularly funny, I love a good Catholic joke every now and then. I'm
Jewish and i laugh at Jewish jokes. I don't take it personal. I think your
response to Monika was great, in fact I was thinking many of those same
thoughts as you were. I am an AOL user and if she represents an average AOL
user then I am quite tempted to change to earthlink or any other company. I
cannot believe that there are so many stupid idiots out there with so much
power. That is truly dangerous. It's like giving a moron a loaded firearm,
wait nevermind, that does happen. Keep those jokes coming and telling people
things that they need to be told. Your wit is truly something that needs to
be used so in the future show more of your reader's letters and your
responses (especially Judi-types). Oh and btw- I meant to ask, who is this
Judi that is the epitome of ditziness? Thanks a lot
Tara with AOL
Ray, this is Tara C. again. I just wanted to tell you
that the way you ended your last reply to Monika was brilliant. Jesus was a
Jew...the kid probably has no idea what Judaism is! And I wonder if her
anti-"Jew loving" remarks mean that Monika is a fan of that monster out in
Los Angeles who opened fire in the Jewish Community Center? You are
hysterically funny, and people who complain about your jokes and bitingly
sarcastic retorts must realize that they don't belong in JAD. Have any of
them heard of the First Amendment? Hmmmmm....just a thought...
Mike with AOL
my friend, i have to say that those letters you sent out instead of the daily
joke were the funniest things i've read in a long, long, long time!!!
i was brought up in a very liberal household with two older sisters and a
great mother teaching me never to be racist or sexist or homophobic and
generally to not be STUPID like the general public is.
i applaud your sarcastic remarks to monica; i am a huge fan of sarcasm,
myself and often annoy the piss out of my friends with it.
like you, i have no clue how someone could not follow where you were going
with your letter. although i am a "stupid aol user" (i could care less which
email system i use...this one was just the one we started with) i can't
fathom being THAT stupid to reply to your email as sincerely as she did.
anyway, i just wanted to let you know that your sarcasm was even appreciated
out here in aol land.
thanks for the daily laughs!
Debbie with AOL
HA HA HA!!! I read your "Judi" letters from time to time and some of the
things are just pretty silly, but this one was HILARIOUS! That Monika must
be a real idiot, and you've made my day. Usually I think that your "Judis"
are naive victims of your sense of humor. I feel that their only mistake
sometimes was opening their damn mouths, but even at their ages, they should
know better! (Of course, in order to compliment you I must go where sane
people fear to tread! So here I am in your inbox) Thanks for the twist.
H J with Juno
As a new subscriber to joke a day, I have to applaud your decision to
give "Monika" the 10th Judi Award. She truly deserves all the sarcasm you
can muster. I cannot believe that she didn't catch on to the subtle
insults you were trying to leave her. If you really wanted to, I am sure
that you could guess her age- she spells her name with a "K" instead of a
"C', and she got all giddy when she thought that you changed your
"path"-she probably is no more than 16.
I guess she didn't read the disclaimer that you put forth that some
materials can be offensive. I was wondering if you ever heard from her
again after you asked her if Jesus was a Jew? I am just curious. Again,
congratulations on winning the battle of wits. You really helped her look
like an ass, and the really sad part is that she doesn't even know......
Eeyore with AOL
Please take me off of Jokes A. Day ... it has gotten so stupid. No one cares
about Judy, Monica or Ray.
Like someone cares about a person who uses the name of
a jackass for their email account.
EXCUSE ME! I PAY TO USE AOL AND THAT MEANS IF I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT FISH
HEADS THEN I'M NOT.
When they gave you an AOL account, did they also automatically schedule you
for a lobotomy? Or was it some kind of checkbox where if you clicked the
mouse on the correct button, you were given a couple of zillion volts of
electricity right then and there courtesy of S. Case and company?
What the hell is WRONG with you the majority of you people at AOL?
