In The City Of Juneau, Alaska

which is pictured below, 


photographed by Alan Wu/Flickr via Wikipedia, the residents decided they needed cheering up, and what better way than to have a telephone joke line? and that is exactly what they did, a new joke was released everyday, and it worked, in fact it worked so well the joke hotline stopped functioning from the high volume of users! not to worry, their technology department is on the case. They hope to have the joke hotline back up and running soon, as of Wednesday this week the morning, the joke line wasn’t functioning, and Juneau officials were trying to figure out if it had been overwhelmed Tuesday by a “very positive response” from the public, “We are already working with our tech department and the phone company to find out. Hopefully we will have answers soon,” said recreation planner Dawn Welch, Oh, and in case you are wondering, yes, the jokes are supposedly clean and family friendly, think Christmas cracker type jokes, and I can now report that as of today the line is up and running, I will not tell you what Sundays joke is in case you want to call in, but on Saturday it was about balloons, OK I give in, I have just called the joke line, Sunday's joke is a 'Under The Sea' type of joke, the jokes are recorded by 10 a.m. each day so that people can call into the hotline at (907) 586-0428 each morning, you can also call in to submit jokes at Parks.Rec@juneau.org, “Just good, clean, corny jokes,” Welch said, quite so, go on, give it a try and have a laugh!
