Friday Funny June 30, 2023 Jokes You Can Sleep On

Happy Friday! Congratulations for making it to the halfway point of another year!

Last night I was tossing and turning quite a bit, so I figured I might as well share some sleep jokes this week.

Enjoy!

Is it true that the meatball told the spaghetti to close its eyes and go to sleep because it was pasta bedtime?

Is it true that sheep get to sleep by counting their friends?

Is it true that clowns have stiff necks because they sleep funny?

Did you know that there is an actual clinical name for the condition where you can’t sleep and just eat instead?  It’s called insom-nom-nom-nom-nia

I used to have a problem being late all the time.  My doctor recommended sleeping in an herb garden. I know that sounds weird but now, I wake up on thyme.

I was going to take a week off from work to break my personal sleep record, unfortunately my family was not supportive of my dream.

I saw where thieves broke into the grocery and stole all of the coffee. I don’t know how these people sleep at night.

This morning I found stir fry all over my bed, guess I must have been sleep wok-ing again.

I fell asleep beside the kitchen sink, now I feel completely drained.

I used to have major ego problem; however, since I got rid of it I’m pretty much perfect.

My friend told me I have a massive ego.  I told him that was impossible because an ego would imply a fault, of which I have none.

I don’t have an ego – I’m just perfect.

Actually, I have a very small ego.  In fact, I should have the world record for the smallest ego.

My friends say I’m ego-centric, but enough about them…

Friday Funny June 16, 2023 Funny Food Names

Happy Friday! The other day I was thinking about food names that don’t seem to make much sense like Boston Baked Beans which are a candy and not beans at all and it occurred to me that there are a lot of other food names out there that are just as odd.

Enjoy!

Boston Baked Beans are not beans but candy coated peanuts died to look like baked beans.

Swedish Fish are not made of fish but are a colorful & chewy candy with a distinct flavor.

Cowtails do not come from cows but are a chewy caramel candy wrapped around a cream center.

Sugar Babies contain no baby but are bite-sized, pan-coated, chewy milk caramel candies.

Grape Nuts have neither grapes nor nuts in them but is a cereal actually made from wheat and barley.  (I still think it is just gravel myself.)

Buffalo Wings contain no buffalo but are chicken wings coated with a hot sauce which originated in Buffalo, New York.

City chicken has no chicken but consists of cubes of pork which have been placed on a wooden skewer.

Thousand Island dressing contains no island particles but is a variant of remoulade and Russian dressing.

Apple butter has no butter but is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce.

Elephant Ears are neither ears nor elephant but just fried dough and lots of sugar.

A roll of Life Savors will not be very helpful if you are drowning.

To me Circus Peanuts are one of the mysteries of the universe.   They are  a peanut-shaped marshmallow candy:  orange-colored with an artificial banana flavor. What part of that makes any sense at all??

No moon in Moon Pie which is a pastry consisting of two graham cracker cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in chocolate, banana, or coconut coatings.

There are no turtles in Turtles candy just pecans dipped in chocolate and caramel.

Baked Alaska has no part of Alaska in it but is a dessert made of ice cream placed in a pie dish lined with slices of sponge cake and topped with meringue.

Hopefully there are no dogs in your hot dogs and I doubt you have ever seen a chicken that had fingers.

Speaking of fingers, I don’t think there have ever been any fingers in the finger sandwiches I have eaten.

And quite unfortunately a 100 Grand Bar is a candy bar made from chocolate, caramel and crisped rice with no trace of $100,000 inside.

Friday Funny May 5, 2023 – Is There Baseball In Haven?

Happy Friday and Happy May! The days are longer and warmer weather is on the way! The baseball season is in full swing, so let me toss out a baseball joke for you.

Enjoy!

Bob and Dave had been best friends for as long as either of them could remember plus they shared an avid interest in baseball.  They were now in their 90’s and in a nursing home, but still close friends who continued to share a love of baseball.  Many days they would spend sitting in their rocking chairs and talking about baseball.  Occasionally they pondered if there would be baseball in heaven.  One day, as they pondered this, they made a pact that someway, somehow which ever one of them who died first would find a way to come back and let the other one know if, indeed, there was baseball in heaven.

Well, the day came when Bob passed.  After several weeks had passed Dave was feeling a bit lonely as his sat and rocked next to an empty chair.  Suddenly, the empty chair began to rock slowly back and forth and the pale, ghostly image of Bob appeared. 

Dave asked, “Well Bob, tell me, is there baseball in heaven?”

“Well, I’ve got some good news and some bad news,” replied Bob.  “The good news is that, yes indeed, there is baseball in heaven.  There are games every day and the weather is always absolutely perfect”

Dave smiled and asked, “That is wonderful! What’s the bad news?”

Bob looked at his friend and replied, “The bad news is that tomorrow is our Opening Day and you’re playing second base and batting third.”

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

“Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.” ~ Bob Feller

Friday Funny April 21, 2023 Lawn Care Jokes

Happy Friday! Spring is in the air and you have probably had to cut the grass at least once by now, so how about some lawn care jokes to kick off this Friday?

Enjoy!

The other day, I saw a man crying while mowing his lawn so I asked him if anything was wrong.  He said that he was just going through a rough patch.

Today I had to fire the guy I hired to mow my lawn, he just wasn’t cutting it.

I really need to cut my grass, but I am having difficulty getting myself mow-tivated.

Last week, I called the police about a murder on my front lawn and they said that couldn’t do anything about crows on my lawn and insisted that I quit calling.

I have a chicken proof lawn, it’s impeccable.

Chuck Norris doesn’t mow his lawn.  He just sits on his porch and dares it to grow.

When I’m grilling a steak outside, the smell just makes my mouth water.  I wonder if that happens when a vegan mows their lawn.

My neighbor on one side has a cow that helps him cut the grass, he’s a lawn moo-er.

My neighbor on the other side has a cat that helps him cut the grass, he’s a lawn-meower.

The shrubs were gearing up for a fight with the grass, but they never saw the blades come in.

I have a friend wo got a job at the dry cleaners, but he got stressed out because he always mixed up the orders and he kept upsetting the customers.  His boss made him do a hanger management course.

If you are wondering if I know any laundry puns, I’ve got loads of them.
