Issue No 19 - Friday 8 May 2020


Sad Italian LADS LIck Yoghurt

EDITORIAL

The Victorian Premier is only a few days away from announcing our immediate future, re isolation and social distancing. Let’s hope that gives us something to smile about.

MUM’S

In the meantime, I hope all the readers who mix isolation with being a Mum can still feel the love from their children on Sunday – for Mother’s Day. Maybe you are able to pass on the love to your Special Mum.

Hopefully, phones and computers run hot and you will get promises of hugs and kisses that will be fulfilled very soon. Maybe some will score breakfast in bed.










I am sure you will identify with these sayings that many of our mothers used to say! 

You’ll thank me for this one day. 
What did your last servant die of? 
I’m only doing this for your own good. 
There’ll be no pudding until you’ve eaten everything on your plate. 
Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t make it right. 
When in doubt - don’t! 
Have you got a clean hankie? 
Do you think I was born yesterday? 
When I was your age…… 
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
How would you feel if someone did that to you? 
I don’t care who started it…… 
Ask your father.
Do you think I’m made of money 
Because I am your mother and I say so!

Extra thanks goes to a regular contributor for that “special” & timely list.

CHURCH TYPOS

Thank God for the church ladies with typewriters. These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced at church services:

HUMOUR
Paddy and Seamus were late leaving the pub, and so they missed the 310 bus.
“What are we gonna do?” asked Seamus.
Across the road was the bus depot.
“I’ll tell you what.” replied Paddy, “go and pinch a bus, and we’ll drive it home.”
Seamus quickly went across, and then returned a few minutes later with a long face.
“I couldn’t see a 310 anywhere,” he said.
“Ya stuped eedjet!” yelled Paddy. “Just get a 205, and we’ll walk a block!”


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. ðŸ˜Š ðŸ˜Š
