Friday Funny February 17, 2023 More Thoughts on Getting Older

Leave a reply

Happy Friday!  Another week has come and gone and has me feeling older than I did last week.

Enjoy!

I am getting so old that I have started lying about my children’s ages.

I am so old I can remember when emojis were called hieroglyphics.

I am so old that my back goes out more than I do.

I would like to say that I am ageing like fine wine but in my case, it’s more like a fine banana.

Is it a sign that I am getting old that I have started buying giant print alphabet soup?

I try not to let my age get me down, at my age it is too hard to get back up again.

At my age, looking in the mirror is like watching the news. I know there will be some new developments I would rather not see.

Call me vain, but I would rather pay full price than admit I am a senior citizen.

I was explaining to someone recently that “50 is the new 30″. But the policeman still gave me a speeding ticket.

I have discovered the secret to having a smoking hot body at my age.  It is called cremation.

Friday Funny February 10, 2023 What Not to Get your Wife for Valentine’s Day.

Leave a reply

Happy Friday!  In case you have not noticed, Valentine’s Day is Tuesday.  Before you head out to the store, I thought I would offer you a few useful tips on what NOT to get that special gal in your life.

Enjoy!

Leonard 

We have all heard, “It’s the thought that counts.” Yet, while that may be true, there certainly are limits on what will keep you in the good graces of your spouse around February 14.  Heed my word to the wise and be sure to cross the following off your shopping list this weekend before it is too late.

Jumper cables – while these can come in quite handy, they will not jump start a romantic evening.

A coffee mug – another gift that, while it may be useful, just might get you roasted.

Pencil sharpener – even if she needs and wants a pencil sharpener, this is not the day for it.  Hope you get my point.

A Roomba – give this for Valentine’s Day and she might set it to chase you around the house.

An oversized Teddy Bear – after the age of about six, a six-foot Teddy Bear is just kind of creepy.

A heart-shaped box of chocolates – the ultimate cliché gift.  Life may be like a box of chocolates, but avoid the cheap heart-shaped box from the corner drug store.

A bouquet of salami – while a bouquet of flowers might be about as cliché as a box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers is much better than a bouquet of salami, plus getting hit over the head with a bouquet of salmi hurts more than flowers.

Personalized socks with your picture on them-  do you really want to see your face on her feet?  Neither does she.

A hot sauce of the month subscription – it will only get you in hot water.

Novelty Toilet Paper – no, just no, nothing more needs to be said.

Friday Funny January 13, 2023 Jokes That I Cannot Take Credit For

Happy Friday!  I was reading the other day about how credit card balances went up a significant amount in December.  So, I thought it would be a good time to share some credit & banking jokes.

Enjoy!

I heard that if you have bad credit and need a loan that you should take a trigonomitrist with you to the Bank so that he can cosign.

My Dad used to tell me that I should work really hard until my bank balance would look like a phone number.  Well after years and years I have done it, my balance is $9.11.

I don’t like to brag, but I am pretty good at managing my credit accounts.  In fact the Bank keeps sending me letters to let me know that my balance is outstanding.

It has gotten cold again.  The other morning I had to scrap the ice off of my windshield.  I used my supermarket credit card and got 10% off.

The Night Before Christmas In The Digital Age

Leave a reply

It is Christmas Eve, so time for me once again to apologize to Clement Clarke Moore and share my adaptation of his classic for the digital age.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Enjoy!

‘Twas the day before Christmas, when at my house

I was at the computer, moving the mouse;

It was time for another Friday Funny, does anyone care

If in the morning, the email inbox has a funny there?

Two of my boys were still nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of homemade cookies danced in their heads;

While mamma was working, I was off for the day,

It seemed like there was nothing funny for me to say,

When out on the Internet there arose such a clatter,

I sprang to my browser to see what was the matter.

Away to another window I flew like a flash,

Hoping as always that my computer would not crash.

The back-lighting of the monitor produced a glow

Which gave a slight luster to objects below,

As I wondered from web site to web site what should appear,

But a miniature sleigh jpg, complete with reindeer,

With a little driver icon, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than dsl downloads his cursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

“Now, Yahoo! now, Google! now, Facebook and Amazon!

On, ebay! on youtube! on, myspace and ask.com!

To the top of the screen! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As deleted lines that before the backspace button fly,

When they meet with a click, mount to the sky,

So up to the screen-top the cursers they flew,

With a file full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the speaker

The prancing and pawing of each little squeaker.

As I drew in my hand, and was scrolling around,

Downloading an mpeg, St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was digitally dressed from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were photo-shopped with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had superimposed on his back,

And he looked like a Trojan file just opening his pack.

His eyes — they pulsated! his dimples they grew!

His cheeks had roses painted on them, his nose was blue!

His droll little mouth transfigured to a bow,

And the beard of his chin turned into white snow;

His pipe was a tree stump he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke wafted up and became a green wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed and turned into jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

Two winking eyes and a fast spinning head,

Soon gave me to know I had no virus to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

He backed up my hard drive; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the window he rose;

He sprang to his jpg, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he deleted his cookie from sight,

“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”

Happy Friday! Christmas is just around the corner now and my Jewish friends will start celebrating Hanukah this weekend. So, let’s kick off the weekend with a triple header of holiday themed groaners.

Enjoy!

A man goes to his dentist because he feels something wrong in his mouth.

The dentist examines him and says, “That new upper plate I put in for you six months ago, is eroding. What have you been eating?”

The man replies, “All I can think of is that, about four months ago, my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was delicious . . . Hollandaise sauce.  I loved it so much I started putting it on everything – meat, toast, fish, vegetables, everything.”

“Well,” says the dentist, “there is the problem. Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon juice, which is highly corrosive. It’s eaten away your upper plate. I’ll make you a new plate, and this time I will make it out of chrome.”

 “Why chrome?” asks the patient.

And the dentist says, “It’s simple.  Everyone knows that there’s no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise.”

An American couple on vacation was walking down the street in St. Petersburg one night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose.

“I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife. 

“No, that felt more like snow to me,” she replied.

“No, I’m sure it was just rain, he said.”

 Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor communist party official walking toward them. “Let’s not fight about it,” the man said, “let’s ask Comrade Rudolph whether it’s officially raining or snowing.”

As the official approached, the man said, “Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?”

“It’s raining, of course,” he answered and walked on.

But the woman insisted: “I know that felt like snow!”

To which the man quietly replied: “Well, Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!”

It was early December, and a fancy hotel was hosting a chess tournament. The tournament had rented out the hotel’s entire ballroom, and the first day had, thus far, gone smoothly, with all but the final rounds decided in the tournament. The time came for a break, and the entire convention shuffled out of the ballroom out by the foyer so employees could convert the chess tables to banquet tables for the evening’s dinner, and otherwise clean up. Several of the games during the day had been close, featuring especially dramatic end games, and everyone was excited about the prospects for the final rounds. The remaining finalists boasted about their victories that day and previously, and slowly the normally quiet tournament’s volume grew to a dull roar, disturbing the other hotel guests. Guest after guest complained to the hotel staff, until finally the hotel manager came out and asked to speak to the president of the chess tournament.

“Oh, hello, what seems to be the matter?”

“I’m sorry but you and your attendees need to quiet down or leave until the banquet is finished being arranged.”

“What? Why?”

“You’re all causing quite a ruckus, and no one can tolerate chess nuts boasting by an open foyer.
