Wednesday…wicked or wonderful???

Bada Bing!

Someone posted they had just baked some synonym buns. I replied, you mean just like the ones grammer used to make?

I was at the post office when I saw someone shouting into an envelope. I asked, “What are you doing?” They replied, “Sending a voice mail.”

If you spell the words “Absolutely Nothing” backward, you get “Gnihton Yletulosba,” which ironically means…Absolutely nothing.

What is it about the gentle beeping of a carbon monoxide detector that is so relaxing?

I always take the batteries out of my carbon monoxide detector. All that beeping gives me a headache.

Whose cruel idea was it for the word ‘lisp’ to have an ‘s’ in it?

Two women were on a bus fighting over the last seat.The bus driver hollered, “Ugly one gets the seat!”Both women stood the rest of the ride.

My wife’s birthday is tomorrow.She’s been leaving jewelry catalogs all over the house.So I bought her a magazine rack.

If dentists make all their money from bad teeth…Why should we use toothpaste that 8 out of 10 dentists recommend?

Today is the birthday, in 1919, of Pete Seeger, folk singer and social activist. He was a strong union supporter and anti-war activist. His group, The Weavers, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He re-emerged in the sixties as a prominent singer of music in support of international disarmament, civil rights and environmental causes. We miss him.

Today is the birthday, in 1899, of Duke Ellington. He was born in Washington, DC and spent most of his career. His parents were pianists who lived on Ward Place in Washington’s ‘West End’. His first job was selling peanuts at Washington Senator’s games. As a young man he moved to NYC and became a part of the ‘Harlem renaissance’. Here is one of his most famous pieces.
