Mid-week Musings...

 

Helllooo?....Geesh!

 

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

 

Helllooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

 

Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

 

A TRIP TO COSTCO 

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, and was in the checkout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do; on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again.  I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time; but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Costco won't let me shop there anymore... Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

 

 

Biology Class - final exam

Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk,' worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages.  He wrote:

1.) It is perfect formula for the child.

2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.

3.) It is always the right temperature.

4.) It is inexpensive.

5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.

6.) It is always available as needed.

And then, the student was stuck.  Finally, in desperation, just before the bell indicating the end of the test rang, he wrote...

7.) It comes in 2 cute containers.

He got an A.

And finally......My good blogging buddy, Darlene at Darlene’s Hodgepodge sent me these cartoons a while back…sharing the laughs….thanks Darlene.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh these computers and the high-tech mania of the 21st century....sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it; but I most definitely don't think I can keep up with it.  Sometimes I think my brain will fry trying to figure it all out.  One thing I know...it's pushing us to places we never knew we could go....whether we want to go or not.  I can't imagine a day without my computer; but I think they're out to kill us....or at least every decent brain cell we have left....bite by bite.  Don't you?     ~Joy xo

Ah Joy. I love the the musings - comes in 2 cute containers (only a boy could say that). Priceless.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning, loved the comics.

I have been amazed at how dependent I've become to my laptop. I even scout out where wifi access can be found whenever I take a road trip.

I've become dependent on my computer too. I do most of my shopping, all banking and bill paying using it. I love it but it has spoiled me. I know I also spent WAY too much time in front of my computer screen. Oh well....at least I'm doing something enjoyable.

What a fun post to read. My son is David, he has always been David. Whenever someone calls him Dave, he always quietly repeats "David." So he'll never be DVD. And speaking of David, I'm at his house with Ella the Bella.

[Hattie]

I laughed out loud several times while reading this. You really had me going with the first one!

[Cop Car]

Great ones, Joy. I especially appreciated Darlene's cartoon collection that you shared with us. Let's send that baby an email!

[Isabel]

Honesty, you just fracture me with the things you come up with! Nothing like a good belly laugh to start the day, along with a cup of coffee, of course! Keep it up! Luv ya

[Darlene]

Hey, good blogging buddy, I'm glad you could use the cartoons. Thanks for the link.

Most of all I love your comments about computers. I plan to take a sabbatical the first half of June when I will be at my daughters. I will find out just how deep my addiction to the infernal machine is then. :-)

Dear Joy ~~I had a really good laugh at your jokes, especially the
dog food one. Really funny.
Thanks for your comments, it's always nice to hear from you dear friend. Take care and look after yourself, Much love, Merle.
