Happy Friday and a special Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served!

Enjoy!

You know that a veteran has been making chocolate chips cookies when you find a find a lot of M&M shells on the floor.

Is it true that when a veteran cooks dinner that he seasons the food with pepper spray and a salt rifle?

If a cow joined the army would they issue her a cow-moo-flage uniform?

If the military developed a new weapon-grade variety of laser would it be an ultra-violent light?

Is it true that you cannot be in the military if you are on Twitter because they do not want people who are quick to retweet?

Where do Generals keep their armies? In their sleevies.

Would you call a high-ranking soldier who hates recycling General Waste?

If a deer enlisted in the Air Force would he be a Bombar(deer)?

Did you hear about the professional artist who was discharged from the Marines?  It seems the only thing he could do was draw fire.

What do Marines have in common with other members of the Armed Forces? They all originally set out to become Marines.

Happy Friday!  Let’s kick off the weekend with a few jokes that are sure to be right up your alley! 

Enjoy!

I told my friend I had just landed a job in a bowling alley.  “Ten pin?” He asked. “No” I replied, “it’s permanent.”

I read where “The Bowling-Alley Killer” is still at large, police think he will strike again….

I read a stray about a professional bowler who was accused of stealing, he claims he was framed.

What did one romantic bowling pin say to the other?  “Let’s never split.”

I heard that the animal that likes bowling best is an alley cat.

Last time I went bowling I left my favorite bowling ball at home, fortunately I had a spare.

I heard that old bowlers never die, they just end up in the gutter.

I heard that bowling a better sport than golf – it is a lot harder to lose a bowling ball.

If a bowler is frustrated at not being able to throw a curveball  would you say he was stuck in a dire straight?

I knew this guy who was great at every sport he tried, even bowling, seems he had talent to spare.

Happy Friday!  Don’t forget that this Sunday is Mother’s Day.

Enjoy!

Would you call a mom who can’t draw – Tracy?

Is it true that the baby strawberry cried because his mom was in a jam?

Are computers so smart because they listen to their motherboards?

Did you hear about the pirate who could not call his mother because she left the phone off the hook?

What did the mama tomato say to the baby tomato? Catch up!

It seems like everybody wants to save the earth but nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.

Motherhood is like a fairy tale, but in reverse. You start out in a beautiful ball gown and end up in stained rags cleaning up after little people.

Good moms let their kids lick the blades on the hand mixer. Great moms turn the mixer off first.

Is it true that Mom’s favorite kind of candy for Mother’s Day is Her-she’s Kisses?

I bought my Mom a mug which says, “Happy Mother’s day from the World’s Worst Son”.
I forgot to mail it but I think she knows.

This evening, I heard a commercial on the radio for an app that will pay you cash for buying gas. Since almost everyone buys gas, it seems like a great idea. The cheerful lady on the commercial said that I could earn up to $0.25 a gallon! The second lady asks if it it really worth it and the first lady happily states that she earns up to $300 a month! Who would not want to earn an extra $300 a month?

A little math will show that if you want to earn that $300 you better like to drive – a lot. Because you will have little time to do anything other than drive! The BEST case is $0.25 a gallon. So to earn $300, you need to buy 1,200 gallons. A quick search of the internet tells me that the average miles per gallon in the US is 24.2 MPG. So, to burn 1,200 gallons, you would need to drive 29,040 miles A MONTH! If you average 60 miles per hour, you would spend 484 hours driving or just over 16 hours a day for a 30 day month. I guess if you have 2 cars you and your spouse could drive 8 hours every day. Unless you job is driving a truck or an Uber, it is hard to fit in a job while driving 8 hours a day.

However, that is the BEST case, the internet also states that the average savings using this app is more like $0.07. At this savings rate, you would need to by 4,286 gallons, driving 103,714 miles and spending 1,729 hours driving at 60 mpg or 57 hours a day during a 30 day month. If you have 7 drivers in your family or own a small trucking company with 7 trucks, you could get the driving back down to about 8 hours a day.

Plus, the app is not available at all stations so you might have to pay more for you gas to begin with. As “they” say – if something sounds too good to be true ….
