Weekly Fun! #8

Good morning everyone! Yes, it is evening here, but for many, perhaps most, of you it’s already morning. Very early morning, but morning just the same. Anyway, this week has gone by rather quickly once again, just like last week. That’s why there was no Weekly Fun last week, the week disappeared before I realized it. So, I decided to get it out early this week, but I didn’t quite make it, so, here we are towards the end of the week. But, here we are. Laughing all the way! That phrase made me think of “Jingle Bells”, which made me think of Christmas, which made me almost scream. I do enjoy Christmas, but not in the summer, even though it’s more like fall now, or autumn if you prefer. Anyway, here are with this week’s funnies…

Rick, fresh out of accounting school, went to a interview for a good paying job. The company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked him, “What is three times seven?”

“22,” Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to the interview!) and realized he wouldn’t get the job.

About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but was still very curious. The next day, he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got such a simple question wrong.

The boss shrugged and said, “Well, you were the closest.”

======

A dentist married a manicurist. They fought tooth and nail.

======

At the chess tables in the park, a guy was playing chess — with a dog!

An amazed passer-by said, “I can’t believe my eyes! That’s the smartest dog I’ve ever seen!”

The guy said, “Nah, he’s not so smart. I’ve beaten him 3 times out of 5.”

======

A flat-Earther decided to walk west until he fell off the edge. In the end, he came around. The only thing he had to fear was sphere itself.

SHIPWRECK DIARY

Day 1: Alone, doing well. Mentally Sound. Met a crab.

Day 2: I have married the crab.

Day 3: I have eaten my wife.

======

A friend called me to say that she saw a fox on the way to work. I asked her how she knew it was on its way to work. She hung up on me.

REMEMBER WHEN…

If you’re even half-way old, you will remember when:

> Your computer’s ready-mode was a black screen with a single cursor, and there was no such thing as Windows; there was just DOS.

> Your phone choices and bills were much easier because AT&T was a good old-fashioned monopoly.

> There was this amazing new video game called “Pong” and you thought it had the most advanced graphics imaginable.

> The first true laptop computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80. If you were hip, you referred to it affectionately as a TRASH-80.

> The astonishing mobility was a cordless phone you could take around the house; it got better reception than the one you can now take all over the country.

> Mail was something you wrote on a piece of paper and put into a stamped envelope. And you didn’t get 110 unsolicited pieces of it every morning promising great riches or body enhancements.

> No normal person had speakers on a computer.

> A 1-gig hard drive was as big as a warehouse.

> An 8-track tape the size of a paperback book was an advanced concept in compact music recording.

> And jokes were always told in person!

======

Apparently this week there will be constant rane, hale, gails, drissle, thundre, litnin, hy tydes, tawnaydoes and frizzing colde. A really bad spell of wether.

======

It was my wedding day, and no one was happier than my 78-year-old mother.

But as she approached the church doors, an usher asked, “Which side are you on?”

“Oh, no,” she said. “Are they fighting already?”

======

At my age I have given up on health foods; I need all the preservatives I can get.

======

Well, that’s all for today, have a great rest of your week and God bless!
