[Louis Foxwell]

Here is a familiar word, one we can enjoy. Who is the most jocular clown you know?

[afraidfortherepublic]

Is this a jocular post? It’s not Wed. morning yet!

[Nep Nep]

I will never be more jocular than the day Hillary Clinton is hauled off to jail.

[Louis Foxwell]

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.

[rikkir]

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

[W.]

Jocularity x3!

Heh!

[Robert A Cook PE]

I will never be more jocular than the day Hillary Clinton is hauled off to jail.

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 .

[Bullish]

So what? Are you trying to imply that I’m not jocular? Are ya’ really?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

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

[Travis T. OJustice]

I always seem to be in short supply of jocularity while scrambling to get stuff done the week before I go off on summer holiday.

[Travis T. OJustice]

I need to get some new underwear for riding the bike, something more jock-ular.

[xsmommy]

we are awaiting a decision from Jocular Joe, with respect to a run for the WH.

[Louis Foxwell]

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.

Third Place

[Louis Foxwell]

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.

Second place

[left that other site]

I can’t imagine
more jocularity
Than to see Hillary
Sucked into a singularity.

[Louis Foxwell]

Wandering through genuinely jocular times, thank you.

[Louis Foxwell]

A perfect application. Cheers.

[Louis Foxwell]

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

First Place

[SoothingDave]

She can’t help it she’s handicapped by being on central time. ;-)
