Nothing... Nothing much... Nothing special... I don't know

A mother asks her child
Mother: What are you doing?
Child: Nothing.

I am doing something, but you are not to know.

A sister saw her siblings laughing out loud on the phone.
Sister: What's so funny?  Anything interesting?
Sibling: Nothing much.

It is funny but you don't need to know

A friend made a nice chicken meal for the dinner
Me: Wow, that is delicious.  What's in it?
Friend:  Oh... nothing special.  Just the normal stuff.  Little bits of salt, onions, this... and that and that.

It is delicious... I know... But, sorry, secret recipe and I am not ready to share that with you.

Any guesses of what is the most convenient answer to give? 
That's right.... I Don't Know

Where is the vacum cleaner?  I don't know.....

Where is your little brother?   I don't know.....

What else do you know? 

Nothing???

If you are lucky, you will be left alone at least for the next half a day.

Jokes - Funny vs Not Funny

Have you wonder only professionals are really good at telling jokes like Ben Price from Australia Got Talent 2011 ?

Actually no. You just need to have the sense of humor and it needs to make sense to your audience.
See the link below for Interview with Dalai Lama from 7pm project from Channel 10 vs Channel 9.

I don't get Karl's joke either.  What is so funny?

Brotherhood bookstore - charity

Hi,

If you love readings, like collecting books within budget, why not visit http://www.brotherhoodbooks.org.au.

Brotherhood Books is a new Social Enterprise from the Brotherhood of St Laurence designed to encourage the recycling of high quality books and to contribute funds to its charitable operations.

100% of the profits from Brotherhood Books will go towards the Brotherhood of St Laurence’s work in helping disadvantaged people build better lives.

About the Brotherhood of St Laurence
Since the 1930s the Brotherhood of St Laurence has been working for an Australia free of poverty through its research, services and advocacy. The Brotherhood campaigns for change to break the cycle of poverty and develops forward-looking programs for disadvantaged people, which are often then adopted by other community organisations and governments

Spend some time on the site and I hope you can find the book you are interested and contribute to the organisation.
