Friday Funnies
Written by Shirley Karr in Jaunty Post1. A little boy opened the big family bible with fascination and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly something fell out of the bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely.
It was a large leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages. “Momma, look what I found,” the boy called out.
“What have you got there, dear?” his mother said.
With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered: “I think it’s Adam’s suit!”

2. One day, a 17-year-old girl is walking through a park when she hears a faint, “Help me, help me.”
She looks around and follows the quiet voice to a bush near the path. Looking under the bush she spies a little green frog trapped under a log. The girl moves the log and picks up the frog.
“Oh, thank you, thank you,” says the frog. “Take me home and put me on your pillow and in the morning I’ll be a handsome prince.” So the girl takes the frog home and puts him on her pillow, and there in the morning is a handsome prince.
You don’t believe that?
Neither did her mother.

3. After being away on business, Tom thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift. “How about some perfume?” he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle with a $100.00 price tag.
“That’s a bit much,” said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $75.00. “That’s still quite a bit,” Tom groused.
Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $25.00 bottle. “What I mean,” said Tom, “is I’d like to see something really cheap.”
The clerk handed him a mirror.

4. A woman is in a gambling casino. At the roulette she says, “I have no idea what number to play.”
A man nearby suggests she play her age, so she puts her money on number 35. The wheel is spun, and 43 comes up.
The woman faints.

We have several empty tubes of Airborne cluttering up a junk drawer. They don’t fit the curbside recycling criteria, and the local SCRAP center doesn’t want them either, but I don’t want to just throw them in the trash. What to do?
Inspired by the clip below, I washed a few, dropped in some Cheerios, and stashed several in strategic places around the house and in the diaper bag. The tubes are small enough for Daniel to grip, big enough he can’t choke on it, makes a satisfying rattling sound, and if he somehow does manage to get the cap off it’s okay for him to put the contents in his mouth.
Have a great weekend!
