Oddities and Humor

My son is a gamer. Should have run it by him first.

Supply chain problems starting to get to me.

Still waiting.

The Kid just told me this one.

A horse goes into the bar. The barman says that he's been going there a lot and he must be an alcoholic.

The horse says "I don't think I am," and disappears.

This joke is based on the works of philosopher Rene Descartes who coined the term I think therefore I am.

I couldn't have toldyou earlier because that would be putting Descartes before the horse.

I've prepaid for parts for my Makita dropsaw, from a local supplier, and they're fobbing me off months later, saying they're on "back order". I told them if I'd ordered from a Chinese supplier, I'd have already received them.

First I said 'ouch', then I laughed.

I never leave home without it.

Why? Those seniors hadn't felt that good for a many a year!

Elvis has left the building.

This offered for humor. I don't know the truth.

We took the same approach in Vietnam and Afghanistan with similar results.

The Texas Quote of the Day is a humorous one:
"J. S. Armstrong was sitting in his bank in Dallas one day when a fashionably dressed woman, almost aggressively refined, was ushered into his office. She wanted, it seemed, to borrow $5,000. One of the clerks slipped a memorandum before him on his desk saying she was the madam of one of the most elegant sporting houses of the town.
’If I let you have the money,’ asked Mr. Armstrong, ’when do you think you can pay it back?’
’Well, I know I can pay it back in October after the State Fair,’ came the answer and the risk seeming likely, she departed with the money.
Instead of in October, early in September the woman appeared with the cash to settle the account. Curious about this promptness, Mr. Armstrong called her into his office.
’But I thought you said you couldn’t pay back the money until after the State Fair in October,’ he began.
’That’s so, Mr. Armstrong,’ she replied, ’but do you know I forgot all about the preachers’ convention coming in August.’ ”
------ John William Rogers, "The Lusty Texans of Dallas," 1953

chuckle... very good

I remember reading this in Readers Digest as a kid (early 70s)

Still slightly humerus.

That's no fibula.

That gave me a chuckle!
