What’s this? It’s not Friday!
Yes, you are right, dear readers, but I will be
without my laptop for a day or two from Thursday whilst the priests of the new
religion, ie the computer geeks, replace my hard drive and transfer all the
data.
Knowing that my dad-in-law, Noel, likes his weekly
Friday fix of humour, Funny Friday comes to you on Thursday instead of Friday.
Hopefully it won’t be too disorienting.
Which reminds me of an oldie but a goodie (which is
pretty much also a description of my father-in-law). . .
Three old men were walking.
One remarked "Windy, ain't it?"
"No," the second man replied, "It's
Thursday."
"So am I." said the third man, "Let's go have
a drink."
A similar one . . .
Charlie: "I just bought the most expensive,
high-tech hearing aids available."
Eddie: "No shit! What kind is it?"
Charlie: "Quarter past nine."

SOME HUMOUR . . .
I finally left my house to go out to the store this
week, and who do I see but my pastor comes walking over to me with a Bible
under his arm.
And this fella, he says to me, 'I haven't seen you in
church recently.'
Well that made me mad, because you know, anybody who
knows me knows that I've been in my house for the last two months with the
virus going around. And he can tell I'm mad, but that doesn't stop him.
This fella goes to hand me his Bible, and he says 'A
man of your age and your condition, I think you need to start thinking about
the hereafter. Now, I've outlined a few passages that I think you ought to
read.'
But I pushed it back into his hands, and I say
'Pastor. You can keep your Bible. I don't need it. I think about the hereafter
every damn day. First thing when I wake up in the morning, I walk into the kitchen,
then I go into the bathroom, then I go into my bedroom again, then I go back
into the kitchen and stand there looking into the icebox for twenty damn
minutes wondering....
“Now what was I hereafter?'

The sky was looking ominous so I asked Siri, “Surely,
it’s not going to rain again today?”
She replied, “Yes, it is and don’t call me Shirley!”
I guess I left my phone in Airplane mode again...

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a
restaurant one morning.
Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and said, "Mabel, did you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?
"
Mabel answered, "I have a suppository?"
She pulled it out and stared at it.
Then she said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this
thing. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is."
---oOo---
When I said you were a suppository of knowledge,
I meant you were great at talking out your ass.
I added this joke not because it is a great bit of humour
but because our great and glorious leader, Tony Abbott, who was Prime Minister of Oz in the years
2013-2015, was quoted in 2013 as having said:
"No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced
… is the suppository of all wisdom."
It was dubbed overseas as The Blunder from Down Under,
as well as prompting comments that he had hit a bum note, was talking out of his
arse again and that he let one rip.

FROM THE VAULT . . .
Bill has worked in a pickle factory for several years.
One day he confesses to his wife that he has a terrible urge to stick his penis
into the pickle slicer. His wife suggests that he see a therapist to talk about
it, but Bill vows to overcome this rash desire on his own.
A few weeks later, Bill returns home absolutely ashen.
His wife asks, "What's wrong, Bill?"
"Do you remember how I told you about my
tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?"
His wife gasps, "My God, Bill, what
happened?"
"I got fired."
"No, Bill -- I mean, what happened with the
pickle slicer?"
"She got fired, too."

LIMERICK OF THE WEEK . . .
There once was a girl who intended
To keep herself morally splendid
And ascend into glory,
Which is quite a good story,
Except that that’s not how it ended.

An archaeologist is visiting a small town in Nevada.
He's just ambling around, enjoying the play of the autumn light on the
terracotta and adobe-colored buildings. He rounds a corner and is surprised to
see the most, bar none, stunningly beautiful alley he's ever come across...
It may sound like he's a bit nerdy, but we all have
our things we love and he's a lover of old streets.
The ground of the alley is a light orange in hue, with
a soft almost nutty sheen and texture.
His feet feel refreshed!
The street has gorgeous slopes and embankments, like
an alleyway out of Florence in the 1500s, but made out of clay stones.
He sees two gentlemen working on fixing a small crack
in the street, the only blemish for blocks.
One of them is pounding down the clay with a wide-head
sledgehammer, thwap thwap!
The other is on his knees with a compass and a pick
and a broom, adjusting the grade of the street material.
He interrupts them to say, "Excuse me gentlemen!
I hate to be a bother, but I just want to applaud your hard work on this
alleyway. It's rare a city takes such good care with its streets and this one
is one of the best."
The man with the sledge stops and says, "Well, we
appreciate that sir. You know your streets, it seems! Would it surprise you to
know that the composition of this street is not adobe? It's mulched with our
native nut trees, the cashew nut. That's what gives it its softness. When it
rains, the petrichor has a slight sweetness due to the cashew, and the town
smells fantastic. I'm just hammering it down before it gets too cold."
"Well, I'll be!" cried the archaeologist.
"And what's that fellow up to?" pointing to the man on his knees.
"Oh him! He's in charge of checking the grade of
the clay. If it's too rough, he picks and sweeps it. Backbreaking work. We hire
four of them, one for each season. And since autumn just arrived, he's got a
few months yet. So you see..."
And here the man paused...
"So you see...my hammered alley is really
'cashews clay'. And he is the gradist."
"The gradist...of fall time."

Thank you ladies and gents, you’ve been a wonderful
audience, catch you when my ‘puter is back.
