Humor and fun chat diversions during the Coronavirus crisis: Join us

Posted by imallears @imallears, Mar 26, 2020

Hello
I’m hoping to share some humor during these stressful times and hope noone take offense.
I’m also hoping my attached cartoon comes across as I have not posted any attachments before.

Sending this from my phone

Everyone be careful out there because people are going crazy from being at home so much. Actually I’ve been talking about this with the microwave and toaster while drinking coffee and all of us agreed that things are getting bad. I didn’t mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron calmed me down as she said everything will be fine…no situation is too pressing!
The vacuum was very unsympathetic …told me to just suck it up, but the fan was more optimistic and hoped it would all soon blow over. The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked it’s opinion and didn’t to say anything but the door knob said I was unhinged and so the curtains told me to…yes…you guessed it…pull myself together.

So glad to see funny posts again or are we just all slap happy?

Thanks for the compliment but I am just passing it on…
Not my wit on this one but I am at my wits end scrubbing tile grout with ZEP. Works but tedious. Time to tune into the early evening news to see what some of the political half wits have to say. And then I don't give a whit after a glass of wine.

Sigh…FL Mary
