I noticed that this thread seems to be missing since the transfer so thought I would resurrect it. If I'm wrong and it is hiding somewhere then let me know.

OK, it's been a while so lets see if we can get this going again.

I killed a spider with a shoe earlier. I don't know how he lost the other seven.

Every selfie I have ever taken is also a portrait of a confused, elderly man trying to figure out which button to press on his phone.

People don't like me reading over their shoulder on trains or buses, which is ridiculous as I'm not even that loud and I do ALL the voices.

Red wine and fish certainly don't mix, in fact mine died.

I've just bought the dictionary as an audiobook, which says it all really.

Can anyone tell me what FOMO stands for? Everyone else seems to know.

I'm beginning to think my chiropractor is just manipulating me.

Have a good and safe weekend.

Two Wi Fi engineers got married. The reception was brilliant.

6:30 is the best time on a clock - hands down.

I just got kicked out of a secret cooking society. I spilled the beans.

Whats a frogs favourite type of shoes? Open toad sandals.

Blunt pencils are really pointless.

I just got fired from my job as a set designer. I left without making a scene.

I put my grandma on speed dial yesterday. I call it insta-gran.

I used to hate facial hair, but then it grew on me.

Dogs cant operate MRI machines but catscan.

I lost my job at the bank on my first day. A woman asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her over.

Told my doctor I heard buzzing, but he said, it's just a bug going round.

Want to hear a joke about construction? I'm still working on it.

What does a house wear? Address.

I wrote a book on penguins. Paper would have been easier.

My grandmother would always send us texts saying please come round, my arthritis is getting worse. But eventually they stopped. So presumably it got better.

 

Enough for today, have a good week everyone.

Found this in the most recent issue of Reader's Digest:

"Theses all-too-real excerpts beg the question: How does anybody get out of the hospital alive?

* "The baby was delivered, the cord clamped and cut, and handed to the pediatrician, who breathed and cried immediately."

* "Patient was present when suppository was inserted."

* "Bleeding began in the rectal area and continued all the way to Los Angeles."

* "The patient's past history has been remarkably insignificant, with only a 40 lb. weight gain in the past three days."

* "Social history reveals this one-year-old patient does not smoke or drink and is presently unemployed."

True weirdness:

There is a moth in Madagascar which subsists almost entirely on the tears of sleeping birds.

Available on etsy for $33, a wooden box called a "Useless machine 2.0".

On the outside of the box is a toggle for On + Off. When you put the toggle at 'On', the box opens up and something comes out that pushes the toggle to 'Off' and the box closes.

These are signs on a Veterinarian's office in Carroll County (where-ever THAT is!):

* The first person to hear a parrot talk was probably not OK for several days.

*DOG is such a small word for something that takes up so much room in your heart.

*If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to see it, a chihuahua 500 miles away will bark at it.

*If you lose a sock in the dryer, it returns as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any containers.

*My dog will eat anything until you put a pill in it, and then he's suddenly Gordon Ramsey.

*Cats can memorize 120 commands, but they don't want to.

From Reader's Digest:

My grandfather was frugal to the end. As he lay dying, surrounded by his children, he warned, 'If you kids spend more than $500 on a casket, I'll kick the lid off."  "Dad," my father said in a reassuring tone, "for $500 you don't get a lid."

I have been having a heck of a time re-finding this thread. I ended up going back two years on my "followed content" to find a post that was listed from here. So, I have been saving a few things to post when I FINALLY found my way back! And here I am, and here I go:

* "If all the cars in the U.S, were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day."

* Will Rogers: "Another way to solve the traffic problems of this country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars will be allowed to use the highway." 

* Two bearded men wearing plaid shirts, holding axes, standing at the base of a tree:     "Some lumberjacks do it for the money. Me, I hate trees."

* From "Mental Floss" - "Before medicine progressed, people were eager to try anything to cure the plague. Sir Isaac Newton recommended a regimen of toad vomit and pulverized road carcass, which he helpfully suggested forming in to a lozenge.    Another technique involved farting into a jar, sealing it and then huffing one's own flatulence to counter the 'bad air' that was thought to deliver the plague and other ailments."

* When you think about flying, it's nuts really Here you are at about 40,000 feet, screaming along at 700 miles per hour and you're sitting there drinking Diet Pepsi and eating peanuts. It just doesn't make any sense." (David Letterman)

* 'They say that if two airplanes almost collide, it's a near miss.                                           B-S!   It's a near hit!   A collision is a near miss. (George Carlin)

"Airline hostesses show you how to use a seat belt in case you haven't been in a car since 1965." (Jerry Seinfeld) 

* "You know those oxygen masks on airplanes? I don't think there's really any oxygen. I think they're just to muffle the screams." (Rita Rudner)

Okay, that's it for now.....
