For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Greetings everyone! π Well, here we are, it’s April 7 and we’re having our 7th laughter post. That’s kinda cool. Okay, I know, small things like that are interesting to me. Oh well. Maybe it’s the cold weather that is affecting me. Yesterday and today have been very cold, definitely feels more like winter than spring. It was only 8F (-12C) this morning and this is April! And tonight we are getting a snowstorm moving through the area until tomorrow night which is expected to give us about 10 inches (25cm) of fresh snow. This is April. Oh well, it is supposed to warm up nicely on the weekend, and then get cold again next week. Nothing like a good laugh about spring! Speaking of laughs, here they are for this week…

The teacher noticed that Steve had been daydreaming for a long time. She decided to get his attention.
Stevel,” she said, “If the world is 25,000 miles around and eggs are sixty cents a dozen, how old am I?
“Thirty-four,” Al answered unhesitatingly.
The teacher replied “Well, that’s not far from my actual age. Tell me…how did you guess?”
“Oh, there’s nothing to it,” Steve said. “My big sister is seventeen and she’s only half-crazy.”

The morning of the big parade, a man and a little boy entered a barber shop together.
“Give me the full treatment,” the man said. “I want to look good in the parade!”
After the man received a shave, manicure, and haircut, he placed the boy in the chair. “I’m going to buy a new tie to wear for the parade,” he said. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
When the boy’s haircut was done and the man still hadn’t returned, the barber said, “It looks like your daddy forgot all about you.”
“That wasn’t my daddy,” said the boy. “He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, ‘Come on, son, we’re gonna get a free haircut!'”

Linda and Marion were comparing notes on the difficulties of running a small business.
“I started a new business last year,” Linda said. “I insist that each of my employees take at least a week off every three months.”
“Why in the world would you do that?” Marion asked.
“It’s the best way I know of to learn which ones I can do without,” Linda said.

One knows they are old when their smart watch says they had a good night’s sleep and their body screams, βLiar!!β

There’s something really wrong with my cactus plant, but I just can’t put my finger on it.

I’ve been experimenting with breeding racing deer. People have accused me of just trying to make a fast buck.
