I literally do sleep like a baby. I cry a lot at night. ;-).
Funny post, Joy.

I love this list … but I laughed aloud when I reached ‘What disease did cured ham actually have?’ …(startling Molly I might add). Language is funny isn’t it? These are all quite clever. A few I’ve heard (or read) before, but I did enjoy the chuckles this afternoon, so thanks for sharing. I hope you’re feeling better ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Joy,
Here is one I have often thought of:
If a cop arrests a mime, does he still say "You have the right to remain silent?"

"Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no NORMAL human being would eat?"
And why does my husband insist that is the correct setting?
Great list Joy.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Bear((( )))

Dear Joy ~~ These are all great. My
favorite is What disease die the cured ham have?" They are all funny.
I hope you are OK - any luck passing the stone? Or maybe it will be OK until after the wedding. Take good care dear friend, Love, Merle.

Very funny! We all need to laugh more, well I do anyway, LOL

Oh dear,
these are fundamental Q's.
They are now on my list, which is an important part of my latest post, soon to be on the net.
