Neighborhoods thrive on gossip, and one couple recently stumbled upon their street’s most entertaining rumor. “You’ll never believe what I heard today,” the husband said with a chuckle. “They’re saying our mailman has been intimate with every housewife here except one.” His wife’s lightning-fast response? “I’d put money on it being Paula.”

While clearly meant in jest, the exchange highlights how these running jokes create bonds between neighbors and give personality to otherwise mundane suburban life. After all, what’s a community without its shared legends and inside jokes?
