Issue No 12 - Friday 17 April 2020

EDITORIAL                       


No lectures from me today. Just read on, smile and enjoy your day. Maybe call someone who you have not chatted to for 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Maybe write them a letter, if you have a stamp in the house and a letterbox nearby to post it in.
Maybe “prank” call someone and see if they call you back. 😊




JUST BE CAREFUL PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY FROM BEING IN  ‘LOCK DOWN’


Actually I have just been talking about this with the Microwave and Toaster while drinking a cup of coffee and we all agreed that things are getting bad. 

 
I didn’t mention anything to the Washing Machine as she puts a different spin on everything and, certainly not to the Fridge as he is acting cold and distant. 


Actually in the end the Iron calmed me down as she said  “just keep calm as nothing is too pressing”!!




STRAIGHT FROM IRELAND VIA ROME!


Excommunicated


A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, 'I almost had an affair with another woman.'


The priest said, 'What do you mean, "almost?"'

The Irishman said, 'Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.'


The priest said, 'Rubbing together is the same as putting it in.  You’re not to see that woman again.  For your penance, say five Hail Mary’s and put $50 in the poor box.'


The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box.


He paused for a moment and then started to leave.


The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, 'I saw that.  You didn't put any money in the poor box!'


The Irishman replied, 'Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!'

Lemon Squeeze
There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said, 'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.'
The priest said, 'Confess your sins and be forgiven.'


The young woman said, 'Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times.'


The priest thought long and hard and then said, 'Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice.'


The young woman asked, 'Will this cleanse me of my sins?'
The priest said, 'No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face.'




------------------------------------------------------------
Donation
Father O'Malley answers the phone. 'Hello, is this Father O'Malley?'
'It is!'
'This is the Taxation Department.  Can you help us?'
'I'll try!'
'Do you know a Ted Houlihan?'
'I do!'
'Is he a member of your congregation?'
'He is!'
'Did he donate $10,000 to the church?'
'He will!'

Confession
An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues:
Man: 'I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Yesterday, I picked up two hitch-hiking college girls.  We went to a motel where I had sex with each of them three times.'


Priest: 'Are you sorry for your sins?'


Man: 'What sins?'


Priest: 'What kind of a Catholic are you?'


Man: 'I'm Jewish.'


Priest: 'Why are you telling me all this?'


Man: 'I'm 92 years old . . .   I'm telling everybody!'

A FEW OTHERS

• Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.


• I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe.


• I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.


• Still haven't decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom


• PSA: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.


• Homeschooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.


• I don't think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone


• This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog..... we laughed a lot.


• So, after this quarantine.....will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me or do I find them?


• Quarantine Day 5: Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.


• My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.


• Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat.


• I'm so excited --- it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?


• I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backyarda. I'm getting tired of Los Livingroom.


• Classified Ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun.


• Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said "I hope I don't have the same teacher next year".... I'm offended.


• Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.




MAY PEACE BE UPON YOU:
If  you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat your food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without  medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs…
           
Then  You Are Probably The Family Dog!






PLEASE REMEMBER

That laughter is the best medicine. If you cannot laugh try to phone a friend, particularly one who is a good listener. 😊
Please stay well and as happy as can be. The bear is after a cuddle. 😊
