Not all jocular fellows are wits but surely all wits are most jocular.
Enjoy, use the word and win a scintillating award.
Awards begin at 9AM EST.

That’s what immediately popped into my mind. I believe it’s the only time I’ve ever heard the word used. :)

Ooopsie. Thought i was referring to NagNag there. Hillary and Kerry are just horses’ arses deserving to be ridden off to jail like joculars needing their media’s support .

Obama’s Iran deal is jocular
He looks through the back of his binocular
Nothing wrong with his eyes
Just his usual lies
His problems are with the truth; they’re not ocular

All of my WFTD posts are intended to be jocular, some not so much.
You posted at 12:18AM, Wed morning to tell me it is not Wed morning. BUT, you used the magic award. A dais chair for you.

Nice. A second dais award. We, too, will celebrate the day the Clintons are brought low. We will call on all FReepers to instigate a national holiday when the Obamas reign of terror is ended.

Sucked into a singularity.

Nicely put. You struck the jocular vein and it is bleeding out all over. I must award the first chair on the dais.
