Hi Y’all! I haven’t followed through with my “8day” plan. I didn’t take into consideration the weekend. My thinking had been to have a Monday thru Friday blog.
So let me belatedly wish that you had a Successful Saturday and a Spirit Filled Sunday moving on to a Magical Monday filled with peace and happiness throughout the day. In fact, I just realized I’ve lost an entire week, what ever did I do with August 17th? Letting my thoughts for a blog slide by with having my room rearranged on the 15th, I guess I put it out of my mind.
After my room was finished, I spent part of my time sorting through things, to ‘clean house’. I came across old jokes, puns and one liners that I’ve collected over the years from various sources including the Readers’ Digest. At THAT time of cleaning house, I went through my collection of books to pull out funny stories, jokes, crazy signs, puns, etc. to save for rainy days when I needed a lift. There were enough pages for a small book and my daughter suggested I compose one to help someone else thru their “rainy days”. So… I’m in the process of choosing the funniest of my stash, those that bring more than just a smile. Along with Readers’ Digest, I’ve saved funny email received from family and friends before the onset of Facebook. My husband and I would look forward to each afternoon when we’d turn on the computer to read the emails and laugh together. My husband had the special gift of twinkling eyes when something tickled his funny bone. When he was enjoying the jokes and especially the puns that came in the ‘mail’ there’d be that wonderful look that made the afternoon all the more enjoyable for me. I plan to include many of the emails in the book, also.
Just in case you need a lift today, I’m adding some of the funnies that I’ve found so far:
A sign outside a church read, ” SERMON FOR SUNDAY, WHAT IS HELL LIKE?” Just below it was the weekly message, “Come in and Hear Our Choir Sing”
(I just love it as a former choir member)
Sign on a bus stop bench read, “CROSS TOWN BUSES RUN ALL DAY” and some enterprising soul had written on it in large red letters “Doo-Dah. Doo-Dah”
(You’ll probably need a few grey hairs to enjoy this one to the tune of an old song Camp Town Races.
A weather report heard on a Phoenix AZ radio station : Tornado watchers are on the look out for parts of Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota.
I went to a beauty consultant for advice on how to improve my appearance.” A woman told her friend. “She suggested low-wattage lighting.
Now for some puns:
“Two Eskimos in a kayak were chilly so they started a fire, which sank the craft proving the old adage you can’t have your kayak and heat it, too.”
“Two cows standing in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, “I was artificially inseminated this morning.” “I don’t believe you ” says Dolly. “It’s true, no bull!”
OK, here’s the last one:
A group of chess enthusiasts check into a hotel and meet in the lobby where they discuss their recent victories in chess tournaments. The hotel manager came out of his office after an hour of this and asked them to disperse. He just couldn’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
Hope these tickled your funny bone. I’ll be back next week.
