How about a laugh, (hopefully)

captboat and trackmom (and everybody else, too : )

Yes, funny and sad at the same time, like so much of life...and very true-to-life for me.

As my aunt sank deeper into dementia, first she forgot my name but remembered I was her niece. Then she forgot that relationship and I became her "friend." My older siblings and I chuckled about it, especially as our aunt began to forget my other siblings' names, too, and more of us became "friends."

It was nice, in a weird way, to become her friend instead of her niece, because you can choose your friends while you are stuck with whatever family you get! And my Aunt Mitzi chose me!

But my husband-- who drove us all over the place-- Aunt Mitzi called him an "Irish thug" when he grew a beard!

We are Irish-American. "Mitzi" is her nickname for "Mary." I have 7 female relatives named "Mary." Wait, maybe 8-- haha. Oh no, I just thought of another one, so we're at 9. Was it George Foreman who named all of his kids "George"? Was he Irish, too?

Interestingly, my aunt never forgot my oldest brother's name. I am the youngest of 6. I think it was an instance of forgetting more recent and retaining oldest memories. I must have been a good little kid, I guess, since I rated "friend" later.

Have a good day, everyone! How about a laugh? THANKS!

Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini.
The bartender asks, “Olive or twist?”

My wife laughed.

It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks:
"Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios,
"Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."

The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

A great contribution to break our FOUR (!) day drought.

But the youngs are all right, too. : )

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and near-dads!

Now, who's got some more jokes, stories, and puns???

A barber gave a haircut to a priest one day. The priest tried to pay for the haircut, but the barber refused, saying, “you do God’s work.”
The next morning the barber found a dozen bibles at the door to his shop.

A policeman came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused to pay, saying, “you protect the public.”
The next morning the barber found a dozen doughnuts at the door to his shop.

A lawyer came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused payment, saying, “you serve the justice system.” The next morning the barber found a dozen lawyers waiting for a free haircut.

😂🤣😂

A man that was a mystic had a very strange diet which caused bad breath. He was frail. His feet were tough from walking on hot coals. What did that make him? Wait for it.....A super calloused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis.
