Today is... Joe Miller's Joke Day - A day to tell a joke in honor of the English comic actor Joseph (or Josias) Miller, who was born in 1684. He died at London, Aug 16, 1738. From Joe Miller’s Jests, London, 1739: “A melting Sermon being preached in a country Church, all fell a weeping but one Man, who being asked, why he did not weep with the rest? O! said he. I belong to another Parish.”
