Anyone Remember
who posted these jokes?
A man says to a friend, “My wife is on a three-week diet.”
“Oh, yeah? How much has she lost so far?”
“Two weeks.”———————————————————————————————————————-
Due to the recession, to save on energy costs, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off.

I found these two jokes in Reader’s Digest as winning entries to a contest. I know I read a slight variation of both of these on Twitter. Are people stealing our jokes and getting paid for it? Or- are you guys sending your jokes to Reader’s Digest, getting paid, and not letting me in on it? What gives?
The first joke is a Canadian entry and the second is a Russian entry. Credit to the authors were not given.
I found references to the first one and the second one being reused without any RT or anything as well. Here are some users that used the “end of the tunnel” joke over the past few days: @Synthsational, @dsprl2000, @troy38, @sumiturok, @togepe30, @JamRockSolid, @FruitSmoothie45, @gautamkannan, @ScriptPhD.
I found these with the following search criteria: recession the light at the end of the tunnel on search.twitter.com. Some of them as old as 10 days.
