The rules of "your mom"

Ok well I have been surrounded by "Your Mom" jokes lately and I want to clear up something right off the bat, I am good with that. I always enjoy a well placed mom joke. Here is the problem: MOST PEOPLE ARE CLUELESS AS TO HOW TO PLACE A MOM JOKE.

I have some youth that think it is funny to take everything you say and turn it around to a mom joke.
For example:
Me- "I am going to bed."
youth- "Your mom goes to bed."
Of course my mom goes to bed, she is a human and like the musical masterpiece on Sesame Street, "Everybody sleeps."

Here are some rules that I am making up off the top of my head that may help you to be a successful "your momer"

1). Be patient- A good mom joke is not one of repetition. Placement is key
2). Placement is key- I realize i just said this but it is that important without proper placement you get a laugh because you are an idiot, with proper placement you get a laugh because you are a comic genius. Now I do not know about you but I want to be a genius.
3). Be ahead of the game- You should anticipate good mom jokes. Do not just throw them around everywhere but anticipate a conversation and get ready for placement.
4) Be creative
5). Watch your frequency- The best mommer I know is the one that does not say jokes often.
6). Be careful- Dont "your mom" everyone. This is not funny and I am not laughing, but some people have problems with there moms or do not know them or they might not be with us any longer. Don't throw mom jokes on the guy without one. Be sensitive....that can get really awkward too.

Here is a few good examples of good mom jokes

50 people are sitting in a room playing dirty santa. One guy gets a gift of a huge yellow sign that says oversize.
the mommer says, "hey man, I forgot your mom's belt was a dirty santa gift...you may want to give that back to her."

- that was one of the best your mom jokes I have heard of.

There is a place for random moms- Hey man you going to college...."Your mom goes to college." Yeah it is stupid but can be funny. Do not overuse.

I will not go further on this I will just let you learn but let me give a disclaimer. Though these jokes can be fun, some take them offensive and all will take them offensive at a point. If it sounds bad, dont do it. It is better to hold your tongue that to mess up a relationship with a friend. Well do me a favor guys....get better placement.
