Banjophil is this dude named Phil who plays a banjo and sings silly songs. By a stroke of pure luck, you have made it to his website! Because Banjophil is a teacher, he leads a life of leisure. All that free time has afforded him the opportunity to write two books and record a banjo/comedy CD. One book, entitled Monkey Mann, is a religious novel, while the other book is a joke book. The joke book has the greatest collection of clean jokes this side of the Mississippi, regardless of which side of the Mississippi you are on. Banjophil's CD is entitled "Pickin' and Grinnin'," and, in addition to many comedy songs, includes such favorites as Duelin' Banjo and Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Not to be outdone, Banjophil's daughter Emily has also recorded a CD which features some fine fiddlin' and great bluegrass singing. Both of the CDs are million-sellers. Banjophil has a million of 'em in his cellar! If live recordings are your thing, you should consider The Dubious Brothers Live. The CD is of a concert by Banjophil, his crazy brother, and a great doghouse bass player. It features an hour of great music and a fine selection of corny jokes. Now for a joke or two to get you in a good mood...Did you hear that the invisible man and the invisible woman had a baby boy? I hear he's not much to look at...Did you know that tennis is the loudest game in the world? It can't be played without a racket...Banjophil's bald head reminds his wife of Heaven: It's a bright and shining place and there is no parting there.

Excerpts from Banjophil's Really Good Joke Book Banjophil went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw him walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm. A couple of days later the doctor spoke to Banjophil and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Banjophil replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful." The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You got a heart murmur. Be careful." *******HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA******* Banjophil: Doctor, I can’t stop acting like a dog. Doctor: How long have you had this problem? Banjophil: Ever since I was a pup. *******HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA******* How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the light bulb has to want to change. *******HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA******* Ranger Stan’s wife took him to the psychiatrist because Ranger Stan kept thinking he was a refrigerator. The psychiatrist psychoanalyzed him real good, and said to Ranger Stan’s wife, “This chap cannot be cured. This is really a harmless problem, though. Why don’t you just humor him? Just let him think he’s a refrigerator.” “You don’t understand, Doc,” said Ranger Stan’s wife. “At night, he sleeps with his mouth wide open, and that light keeps me awake!” *******HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA******
