Happy Friday! I read where a good portion of the Midwest is dealing with 17-year cicadas. We had them in Ohio a few years ago so we feel, or should I say hear, your pain! Here are some cicada jokes to kick off your weekend.
Enjoy!
Is it true that cicadas are boring conversationalists because they don’t stop buzzing about what was cool 17 years ago?
I saw a cicada last night. The poor guy was just a hollow shell of his former self.
I heard that a cicada chef is opening a new restaurant, it’s called “Emergence-y Dining.”
Did you know that cicadas have very odd beliefs? It is true, they are all in sects.
Is it true that a cicada’s favorite game to play is ‘Hide and exoseek’?
I heard that cicadas get off the subway at the infest-station.
If life is just a game, then cicadas are not bugs, they are features.
Did you hear about the cicada who was lonely because he had no buggy to hang out with?
Is it true that the cicada called off work because she had a bug?
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in a way I can’t put into words.

Happy Friday! We have come to the end of May and the days are longer and warmer. Summer is a great time for dining out, so here is a full serving of restaurant jokes.
I went to a restaurant called: “Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold.” The menu was just desserts.
I went to a restaurant called: “Mary Poppin’s.” I had super cauliflower cheese but the lobster was atrocious.
I went to this new pop-up restaurant called “Karma Chameleon.” It comes and goes.
I went to all-you-can-eat Italian restaurant, it was called “Endless Pastabilities.”
I went to a chicken themed comedy restaurant, the food was great, but the yolks were terrible.
I went to a restaurant recently and the hostess greeted me and asked, “Do you mind waiting a bit? I said “no.” “Good,” she said, “Take these appetizers to table seven.”
A few weeks ago, I was eating out and the restaurant owner offered me a free calamari appetizer if I gave him a good review on Yelp. It was squid pro quo.
Did you hear about the large restaurant chain that had a lot of trouble trying to open a new data center? It seems they can’t get enough servers.
I was at a seafood restaurant and there was an awful fight. Several fish got battered.
The other day, I called a restaurant to make a reservation for a table for two. The person who answered the phone said that I had the wrong number, so I asked for a table for four instead.

This is Memorial Day weekend, a time set aside for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the military. It is a bit more poignant this year as it comes less than two weeks from the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
I hope you have a nice weekend and I will kick it off with some summer-time jokes.
Enjoy!
I heard that reading while you sunbathe can make you well red.
Looks like I will not be traveling very far this summer. I have a rash and my dermatologist told me to apply the medication locally.

My last trip the airline lost my luggage, I tried to sue them, but unfortunately, lost my case.

Did you hear about the Canadian who was able to put out a fire while vacationing in Mexico? She had the help of a hose eh.
Would you call a Frenchman in sandals Phillipe Phloppe?
What do bees say to each other in summer? “It’s swarm, isn’t it?”
My wife insisted that we go to Stockholm in vacation. At first I didn’t want to go, but now, I don’t want to leave.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“Well, everybody’s heart needs a holiday, sometime
And everyone of us needs to get away, somehow
So I’m laughing lighthearted moods, oh, the sight-seeing afternoons
And tellin’ a joke or two ’cause everyday invites you
To find your place in the sun.” ~ Pablo Cruise – “A Place in the Sun”

Happy Friday! It was pretty neat in my little neck of the woods to see a total solar eclipse this week. While the sky was pretty clear for the eclipse, it has pretty much been raining since then. Instead of lamenting the rain, let’s kick off the weekend laughing about it.
Enjoy!
Would you call a cow riding a motorcycle in the rain – Cow-is-soggy?
I heard that cows lie down together in the rain to keep each udder dry.
I heard that ghosts do not like to walk outside when it rains because it dampens their spirits.
I heard that meteorologists get paid with rain checks.
Would you call a dinosaur that got stuck in the rain a driplodocus?
If it is raining outside does an artist draw the curtains closed?
Did you hear about the weatherman who was blushing because he saw climate change?
Did you know that if there is rain in the forecast that it is common for sailors to eat shellfish? It’s the clam before the storm.
Since it started raining, all I can do is look sadly through the window. I am hoping that soon my wife will let me in.
I once entered a weather pun competition. I beat the raining champion.
If you come in fourth at the National Weatherman Awards do you get a precipitation trophy?
If all this rain has you thinking of building an ark, I Noah guy.

Happy Friday! In my part of the world, we are anticipating a solar eclipse next week. Where I work is close to the total eclipse area. So, I thought I would share some eclipse related jokes this week. Just do not stare at these jokes too long!
Enjoy!
How does an astronaut cut his hair? Eclipse it!
What is the moon bringing to the beach on April 8, 2024? Sunblock!
What did the sun bring to the solar eclipse party? A light snack!
How do you organize a solar eclipse party? You planet!
Son “Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?”
Dad: “No sun.”
Prior to the eclipse I have been making some money selling fake eclipse glasses I’m not too worried though, I don’t think my buyers will ever see me again.
Great idea, I heard that there is an online resource for everyone who suffers retinal damage watching the solar eclipse. It really is a site for sore eyes.
Someone told me to view the eclipse with a colander. I tried it and it just strained my eyes.
I heard that the reason that moon rocks taste better than an Earth rocks is because they are a little meteor.
I heard they opened a new restaurant on the moon. They say the food is great, but there’s just no atmosphere.
I have one more eclipse joke; however, it does not have a punch line, it just leaves you in the dark.
