§ Weekend Funnies...


With all the tragedies that have happened with Turkey/Syria this past week [I cried for joy when I saw the newborn infant being rescued even tho her mother perished in the rubble]. I thought a little humor could be in store...At least for a moment or two, these can bring a smile to those in need, and we can pause for a bit of laughter:





...and my favorite---



§ Weekend Funnies....


I've not found many 'new' ones this time around, but these two. They may be a bit controversial, just put aside the opinions on them. If you open your mind and enjoy the atmosphere of today's times, they're still laughable...




§ PLEASE...knock before entering.


When you gotta go....you gotta go!!!

[it's a bit blurrred, 'cause I was rushing to get this photo onto the cellphone before Winston left the litter box...I don't think he was finished with his business, but Tahoe barged in. No privacy whatsoever. And yes, there ARE two litter boxes in our home, but both always prefer to use this one for some reason.]

WEEKEND FUNNIES
[This was sent to me via an email, so I really don't know just who to credit....but it's worth a share, if you ask me.] Perhaps you've read it before. Laughing is the best medicine, but this is some serious sh!t here....

Speaking of When you gotta go, you gotta go----------




When you have to visit a public “Restroom”, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it’s your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern ‘seat covers’ (invented by someone’s Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn’t – so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume ‘The Stance’. In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You’d love to sit down, but you certainly hadn’t taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold ‘The Stance”. To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother’s voice saying, ‘Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was not toilet paper!’ Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday – the one that’s till in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It’s till smaller than your thumbnail. Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn’t work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. ‘Occupied!’ you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it’s too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper – not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you’re certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, ‘You just don’t KNOW what kind of diseases you could get.’ By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your bottom and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too. At this point, you give up. You’re soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You’re exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks. You can’t figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper off your shoe, plunk it in the woman’s hand and tell her warmly, ‘Here, you just might need this.’

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used and left the Men’s “Restroom”. Annoyed, he asks, ‘What took you so long and why is your purse hanging around your neck!’



§ Learning Curve....


I did not know there were so many different species of dragonflies, nor the fact that they migrate. But, of course, I have never really taken the time to study them either. Now that I read a short bit on the migration of the species, I say...well I'll be darned. I never knew that!!

We've always had an influx in late summer [especially after a rainstorm when the larva of mosquitoes hatch]...the dragonflies go absolutely bonkers!!! A fun fact here - A dragonfly can eat food equal to its own weight in about 30 minutes. Which roughly translates into a you trying to eat as much as 100+ lb…let alone in half an hour. Anyway, while out birding on the birding trails this past month, I've come across only a couple different colored ones ---greenish blue, and a rusty red one. But they never lighted on a branch long enough for me to photograph them. Then, while walking a different trail on a different day, I spotted one STUCK on the barbed-wire fencing. Now, keep in mind that I am truly a novice at ID'ing the species, but I think it's named:

Band Winged -



...then, on another day a different, on a different trail, one STUCK to a dried cluster and I got a chance to photograph it:

Could this be a Saddleback [notice the 'saddle' shape on its wing, or is something STUCK on it?] -



DRAGONFLY FACTS:

They migrate [new to me! I did not know that]
Extremely fast swimmers
Diet: All flying creatures [insects]...including an occasional butterfly or moth and bees!
They have been seen consuming ants also.
and last but not least....a DAMSELFLY is NOT a female dragonfly...the two are completely different insects!!!
Dragonfly fossils have been found.
The Dragonfly - from nymph to adulthood

WEEKEND FUNNIES



Speaking of ADULThood....

Bruce comes home from the bar and sees Sheila watching a cooking show on the TV.
Bruce says; "What are you watching that for? You can't cook to save your life!."
To which Sheila replies; "So what? You watch porn movies, don’t you?









§ Oh...please. Just CAN it!!


I feel an explanation is in order here....Is there something in this world you'd like to CAN? As in arrest? Stop? Suppress? Shut-up....permanently? No, I'm not talking about the rap music and the vibrating cars going through the 'hood because the rap music is way too loud!!! I'm talking about one particular insect. I honestly learned something this week...what I thought it was and what it really is!! None the less....I really dislike their 'music'!! This particular BUG just drives me up the wall. Always has, even since childhood, and the hatred has grown over the years. During the summer, they become quite active. And their "winging it" makes me want to pull my hair out. In fact this last month, the days we've gone birding...while walking through the heavily wooded areas in some parks, like the girl in Poltergeist...."They're-re-re-re Ba-a-a-a-a-ck!!" By the time we've walked the distance we walk and the photos are taken if any bird activity is around us [once, at Bazemore Park, they were so loud, we couldn't hear each other as we whispered upon spotting a bird here and there!], I must say, I'm happy to get back into the stuffy car and ignite the engine to drown out their NOISE! The quiet hum of the car's air conditioner is what I call relief. Y'know what I mean? How do you spell relief? Get out of the park, away from the incredible noise of the bugs!! Actually, a sentence or two ago, I said "I learned something". Well, I did. Being born in Nebraska, these bugs would wake me up and be there at night in the summer when I was trying to sleep. Gawd-awful racket!! In Colorado they weren't so bad. Anyway, I called them katy-dids 'cause that's what they were/are in Nebraska, Bud and I argued...he called them cicadas. I, in fact, thought they were the same thing. In Tucson, they even had a legend associated with them --don't know how true it all is, but when you hear them making their racket singing, it's to be 6 weeks 'til rain falls. In Texas, I beg to differ....tons of those buggers, and still no rain. While at one of the Audubon Birding areas on the island this week, walking along the boardwalk to the gazebo to sit in the shade and watch for birds, the cicadas were surrounding us with a cacophony of misery!!! Yes, cicadas....I hate to say this, but I must admit, Bud was right. Cicadas they are. Katy-dids are all green [even the wings]! Cicadas are the ones in Texas. And, I got pictures to prove it....





CAN it!!!! Will-ya?

WEEKEND FUNNIES


One fly to another fly: "Your human is open"

*

A scientist was complaining to a fellow scientist that his colony of fruit flies, for some unknown reason, had never mated in his glass enclosure. Given that his experiment required several generations to complete, this was causing quite a problem. The visiting scientist told him that he had experienced a similar problem at his lab and it resulted from the slick glass walls of the enclosure. Apparently the flies mate while crawling along the glass walls of the enclosure. "Your glass is too slick," he told him, "but I have just the remedy". The second scientist asked for a bottle of table salt and some flour and water. He mixed the concoction and brushed it on the glass walls. The flies began crawling along the surface and mated immediately.

"My problem is solved," exclaimed the firstscientists, "If only I had known that flies need
monosodium glue to mate!!"

...next two are groaners:

Every night, Joe would go down to the liquor store, get a six pack,
bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV. One night, as he
finished his last beer, the doorbell rank. He stumbled to the door
and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by
the collar and threw him across the room, then left.
The next night, after he finished his 4th beer, the doorbell rang. He
walked slowly to the door and found the same six-foot cockroach
standing there. The big bug punched him in the stomach, then left.
The next night, after he finished his 1st beer, the doorbell rang
again. The same six-foot cockroach was standing there. This time, he
was kneed in the groin and hit behind the ear as he doubled over in
pain. Then the big bug left. The fourth night Joe didn't drink at all. The
doorbell rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the snot out
of Joe and left him in a heap on the living room floor. The following day,
Joe went to see his doctor. He explained the events of the preceding four
nights. "What can I do?" he pleaded. "Not much" the doctor replied. "There's
just a nasty bug going around."

A West Virginia chemical company will open a $15 million insecticide unit to replace one that was destroyed in a 1993 explosion that released 45,000 pounds of toxins into the environment. Company officials said they are confident that they have finally gotten all the bugs out.

WEEKEND FUNNIES -

NASA style

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation. One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question which his son translated. "What are these guys in the big suits doing?"

A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. Recognising a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder.

After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused. So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed but refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.

Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said, "Watch out for these guys; they have come to steal your land."

WEEKEND FUNNIES


A man took his wife to the County Show and one of the exhibits is that of breeding bulls.
They went up to the first pen and there was a sign that said, "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife poked her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year." They walked a little further and saw another pen with a sign that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hit her husband and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him." They walked further and a third pen had a bull with a sign saying, "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife got really excited and said, That's once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one." The husband looked at her and said, "Go up and ask him if it was with the same old cow."

Two priests were going to Hawaii on vacation and decided that they would make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts and Aloha shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning, they went to the beach, dressed in their "tourist" garb and were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying MaiTais, the sunshine and the scenery when a drop dead gorgeous redhead in a tiny bikini came walking straight toward them. They couldn't help but stare and when she passed them she turned to them, smiled and said, "Good morning Father Murphy. Good Morning Father O'Toole," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she recognize them as priests? The next day they went back to the store, bought even more outrageous outfits. These outfits were so loud, you could hear them before you even saw them. Again, they settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine, etc. After a while, the same gorgeous redhead, wearing a string bikini this time, came walking toward them again. (They were glad they had sunglasses, because their eyes were about to pop out of their heads). Again, she approached them and greeted them individually, "Good Morning Father Murphy. Good Morning Father O'Toole," and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it and said, "Just a minute young lady. Yes we are priests, and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did YOU know?"
"Oh Father, don't you recognise me? I'm Sister Kathryn!"

WEEKEND FUNNIES


Bill and Ben were walking home from the pub. Bill says to Ben, 'What a beautiful night, look at the moon.'
Ben stops and looks at Bill, 'You are wrong, that's not the moon, that's the sun.' Both started arguing for a while when they come upon a real drunk walking in the other direction, so they stopped him.
'Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that's shining. Is it the moon or the sun?'
The drunk looked at the sky and then looked at them, and said,
'Sorry, I don't live around here.'

A teacher asks their students "Which is more useful, the Sun or the Moon?"
After a moment of silence a ten-year old student puts his hand up and answers, "I think it's the Moon because the moon shines at night when you want the light, whereas the Sun shines during the day when you don't need it."

*

Did you hear NASA wanted to study the effects of the moon on an aging individual, so they decided to resend Armstrong. Unfortunately, they canceled this because they were afraid the first words from the moon in 30 years would be: "Houston? I have fallen, and I can't get up."

Two blondes in California were sitting on a bench talking ... and one blonde says to the other,
"Which do you think is farther away ... Florida or the moon?"
The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida ...?"
