Some-pun special for Friday...

I received these in an email...rather than forward and clog everyone's email, I decided that I'd just copy and post here...then I can come back and read and laugh again and again! Some of these are really good...some pretty stupid...it will be par for this blog! Have fun with them and I'll add something personal later...maybe.

*******************************************************

The ability to make and understand PUNS is the highest level of language development...

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Suurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said," I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they named him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

Y'all have a great Friday! Those in JC, have a fantastic Homecoming...those not in JC...well, you can have a great Homecoming too...just go home. Pretend it's something new and exciting. Have tea and cookies, then relax and laugh about old times. It'll be fun. :)

Couples' Retreat...

Ahhh...what a nice weekend! We got to go to a Couples' Retreat hosted by the Fairgrounds Road church in JC! It was so nice to have a couple of days with other couples and no kids to focus on each other, our relationship and our walk with God.

We saw several old friends and family...met lots of new ones (new friends, not new family--we pretty much already know them!)...and had lots of fun.

But mostly, we learned some things about ourselves and realized some things in our relationship that we need to spend a little more time and energy on. Mark was one of the speakers and as Scott put it, he "made my eyes leak". I'm sure part of it was hearing things that I needed to hear and realizing things that I needed to realize about myself and my role as a wife and mother. But I think another part was hearing it from my brother! He really did a great job! I was really proud of him and how much he was able to teach us. He's really pretty great. If I do say so myself! The weekend was wonderful...and we'll definitely go back! Too bad we'll have to wait two years!

But I think I may not be hungry again until then. *UGH* :o)

This week is looking quite promising...

• Promising to be busy. (Something every night until Thursday!)


• Promising to be cooler! (Temps only into the lower 80's this week!)


• Promising to be fun! (Lunch Bunch with each of the girls at school--Wednesday thru Friday!)


• Promising to have more beds made than last week! (Scott made ours this morning before his shower! First time in I-don't-know-how-long!!)


• Promising to be better listened to...in more ways than I can list!
  

Not bad...

And now I've got to do some work!
