Month: November 2021

Feels like another TUESDAY

Today’s holiday is ‘St. George’s Day in Georgia’. This holiday commemorates the torture of St. George on the wheel for refusing to make sacrifices to the Roman gods. The day may also be known as ‘The Breaking on the Wheel of Holy Greatmartyr George’. Celebrate…I guess.

BADA BING!

I’m jealous of toddlers and their lack of social norms.Imagine seeing someone you don’t want to talk to, and the second they open their mouth, you just scream “NO” and run away.

16 2/3, 33 1/3, 45, and 78.A quick memory will recall the significance of these numbers in record speed.

My new dentist called back in to make another impression of my teeth.Needless to say, he didn’t make a good first impression.

Threw out my back sleeping and tweaked my neck sneezing. I’m probably one strong fart away from total paralysis.

*Brings therapist to family gathering.*Me: See?!Therapist: OH. MY. GOD.!

Over 300 insurrectionists have been turned in by their ex-wives.

Just so you know, asking a taxi driver how much it would cost to get somewhere is a fare question.

If there was a pill to cure procrastination, I would probably take it tomorrow.

So my neighbor’s wife left him last week. She said she was going out for milk and never came back.I asked him how he was coping.He said, “Not bad. I’ve been using some of that powdered stuff”.

I will be posting telepathically today. So if you think of something funny, that was me.

There’s this fella who loves two women.One makes incredible pancakes. The other writes beautiful poetry.Should he marry for batter or for verse?

Relationships are just two people constantly asking each other what they want to eat until one of them dies.

I got so drunk last night, I walked across the dance floor to get another drink and won the dance contest.

So I was in my garden today and the neighbor looked over the fence and said, “What are you doing?”“I’m putting all my plants in alphabetical order.”She replied, “Really? I don’t know how you find the time!”Oh, that’s easy I said, “It’s right next to the sage.”

Two college professors, a professor of history and a professor of psychology, were vacationing at a nudist colony. They were sitting on the colony’s deck, watching the sunset. The history professor turned to the psychology professor and asked “Have you read Marx?” “Yes”, he replied, “I think they’re from the wicker chairs.”

Today is the birthday, in 1939, of Betty Everett. She was born in Greenwood, Mississippi which was also the birthplace of many other musicians including Robert Johnson, Guitar Slim and Bobby Gentry. Greenwood was also the birthplace of Morgan Freeman and a huge number of athletes. Everett became famous with this number one hit:

Heart-Stopping Texts

A man was watching his wife while she is frying sausages in a pan. 
Before she puts the sausages in the pan, she cuts off the two ends, throws them away, and cooks the middle part of the sausage. 


Her husband looks at her, and then asks: “Honey, why do you always cut off the two ends of the sausage before frying it”.

 
The woman answers that she doesn’t know, she has learned to do that from her mother.
The next day, they visit the mother, and the woman asks her why she has been taught to cut off the ends of the sausage before frying it. 


“I actually don’t know, that is what my mother, your grandmother always told me to do. We should go and ask her.”

 
So the two women leave the house and go to visit the grandmother.
“Grandmother, why did you teach us to cut off the ends of a sausage before frying it,” the daughter asks. 


“It’s a family tradition, the grandmother says, I don’t know. I just did it because my mother, your great-grandmother did it. 
“We should visit her, she’s in the retirement home.”


The three women go to visit the retirement home and meet the great-grandmother, who is a bit hard of hearing. 
“Great-grandmother,” the woman asks loudly, “Why did you always tell us to cut off the two ends of a sausage before frying it” 


The old woman looks amazed at them, and responds: “Wait, what, you’re still using that little pan!”

Today is the birthday, in 1943, of Floyd Sneed, drummer with Three Dog Night.

THURSDAY is the day it is

Today’s holiday is Ill Full Moon Poya Day in Sri Lanka. Every full moon (usually once a month) is a public holiday in Sri Lanka. Each of the full moons has its own name and they are days to commemorate key events in Buddhism. This Poya celebrates the obtaining of Vivarana (the assurance of becoming a Buddha) by the Bodhisatta Maitriya and the commissioning of 60 disciples by The Buddha to disperse his teachings.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program…
