Murphy's Moment
As mentioned a few weeks ago, I lost my beloved orange tabby, Alex, on June 19, 2025. While he had an amazing 16 year run, his passing came much sooner than it should have. I still miss him dearly.
Fortunately cats are pretty easy to come by. All you need is Craigslist and a little patience. After watching religiously for about 7 weeks, anyone could find the exact cat they were looking for... and that's how I got Murphy! Come to think of it, that's kinda how I got Alex as well.
Murphy was born on June 22, 2025. This tasty little hash brown was listed Tuesday night. I texted the number the next morning and went right round to go see him that afternoon. He was perfect, so I paid the $10 "rehoming" fee and took him to be my newest, bestest buddy.
Ten bucks probably sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Well... Yesterday he had his first vet appointment, and the bill wasn't cheap. I already knew he had ear mites because he had been scratching at his ears, so I swabbed them and looked at it under an old microscope of mine. Let's just say they threw in the ear mite cleaning FOR FREE because they were already able to cover a yacht payment with everything else they charged me for!
His follow up booster shot is in 3 weeks. Cha-ching! smh.
As of this Sunday, I've had him a total of about 4 days, and so far he's cost me well over $500! At least he's comfortable and feels right at home. While he can't jump up on the bed yet, his needle like claws allow him to climb up the side of the mattress like Spider-cat, and then he likes to snuggle up with me an Gail... Which kinda worries me, cuz him being so small and all, he's liable to get flattened!
To recap: I got another cat. He's orange, he's smol, and he's a little spitfire. That's about all I have to say on the subject at the moment, but I'm sure there will be more photo ops along the way.
Pax,

What is Flush Twice?
Flush Twice has been around since May of 2003. It started out as a JOTD (Joke of the Day) website. New jokes were published every weekday. Over the years, good jokes were increasingly hard to come by, and eventually they got so rare that I just stopped trying to publish them.
Since 2004 there has also been an eponymous comic. I still occasionally publish a new one on Saturdays. It’s also rare anymore, but sometimes it happens.
Here lately I’ve been posting a “Link of the Day”. For the time being, I will be featuring a new website from my enormous collection of bookmarked websites every weekday. None of it is solicited promotions, and no one is paying me to feature their site. These are just websites that at one time I thought were interesting enough to add to my bookmarks folder.
I highly encourage using some kind of ad blocking extension before clicking on any of these links. You’ll also hear me say this phrase a lot about these posts: “They can’t all be winners.” But it’s better than just leaving the site abandoned.
The jokes were generously provided by friends and visitors such as yourself. I want to express my eternal thanks to everyone over the years who helped contribute to the collection.
So what is it that makes a joke funny?
It all boils down to a sudden shift in perception. The story starts you thinking one way, then the punchline turns that thinking on its ear. The art of the joke is to craft a short story that isn’t overly contrived, then deliver a punchline that suddenly shifts your perception about the story you were being told.
Many of the jokes on this site are offensive, and I make no apologies for it. Offensive jokes work by making the reader uncomfortable through the use of a taboo subject thus enhancing the underlying humor. Without the offensive element, the joke would simply not be as funny.
(Just thought you might like to know.)
Yes, it’s a usable search function! Try it!

Rose Buds
A teenage granddaughter came downstairs for her date wearing a see-through blouse and no bra.
Her grandmother pitched a fit and told her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager flippantly replied, “Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!”
And out she went.
The next day the teenager came down stairs, and the grandmother was sitting there with no top on.
The teenager wanted to die.
She explained to her grandmother that she had friends coming over and that it was just not appropriate.
The grandmother said, “Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets.”
Beer Lotto
James walked into a bar, ordered up a beer, and noticed that the patrons were holding slips of paper with numbers written on them, and periodically numbers were being called over a PA system.
James asked the bartender “What’s going on?”
The bartender breaks it down saying, “It’s a beer lottery. Basically when you order a drink, you get a number. If your number gets called, you get to go in the back and get laid!”
“That sounds like a bunch of silly nonsense to me!” declared James.
A few stools down, a drunk listening in blurted out, “It’s not nonsense! My wife’s number has been called 3 times in the past hour!”
You Used To
An older couple was lying in bed one night.
The husband was falling asleep, but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk.
She said, “You used to hold my hand when we were courting.”
Wearily, he reached across, held her hand for a second, then tried to get back to sleep.
A few moments later she said, “Then you used to kiss me.”
Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said, “Then you used to bite my neck.”
Angrily, he threw back the sheets and got out of bed.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“To get my teeth!”
A Trip to the Farm
A couple took their son, Johnny, to the country to visit a farm.
“Mommy, what’s that long thing on the horse?” he asked.
“That’s the tail, dear,” she replied.
“No, not that. What’s that long thing that’s hanging between the horse’s legs?” asked Johnny.
Embarrassed, the mother replied, “Oh, it’s nothing, son.” She then left to visit with the farmer’s wife.
While she was gone, the Johnny turned to his father and asked, “Daddy, what’s that long thing hanging between the horse’s legs?”
“That’s the horse’s penis, son,” explained the father.
“Well, why did mommy say it was nothing?” Johnny asked.
Taking a deep breath, Johnny father proudly replied, “I’ve spoiled that woman, son!”
Two Bodies in the Bed
Having been out of town for a few days, Margot came home late one night and quietly opened the door to her bedroom so as not to awaken her husband.
In the dim light, she noticed the distinct outline of two bodies in the bed instead of just one.
She reached behind the dresser and pulled out a baseball bat. With a blind fury she began beating the bed as hard as she could. Once the two bodies had stopped moaning and writhing, she dropped the bat on the floor and went to the kitchen to have a drink.
As she staggered into the kitchen, she was shocked to see her husband sitting there, reading a magazine.
“Oh hi, Darling,” he said, “Your parents house is being fumigated, so l invited them stay here and sleep in our room.”

Meta Analysis
By now you’re probably beginning to notice a pattern. This is the paragraph where I start some diatribe about something that gets under my skin. No one should ever read this stuff, but for some reason you do.
The second paragraph is where I go into a little more detail, then start to backpedal by saying something like, “maybe I’m overreacting”. You’ve probably also realized you’ve seen this meta analysis someplace else on the internet, because nothing on the internet is original anymore. If you’re still reading this garbage I have no pity on you.
By this point all intelligent cohesion is lost, and I’m just rambling aimlessly. If you think there is any sense to this crap, that’s all you. That’s just you projecting your own nonsensical beliefs on meaningless filler that I typed.
Finally, I show the poor reader a little compassion and wrap things up. It doesn’t really resolve anything, even if it claims it does, and your life is somehow 15 minutes shorter after reading a blog post that only took a minute to read. As always, I’ll finish this with my customary closing.
Pax,
-f2x
ps: Thanks for hanging in there with me. We’ve got more jokes coming every Monday through Friday, and I’m doing my best to make sure that PitP is published every Saturday. I love you guys! See you again soon!

Home Early
A police officer, though scheduled for all night duty at the station, was relieved of duty early and arrived home four hours ahead of schedule, at 2 in the morning. Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed in the dark, crept into the bedroom and started to climb into bed.
Just then, his wife sleepily sat up and said, “Mike, dearest, would you go down to the all-night drug store on the next block and get me some aspirin? I’ve got a splitting headache.”
“Certainly, honey,” he said, and feeling his way across the dark room, he got dressed and walked over to the drug store.
As he arrived, the pharmacist looked up in surprise, “Say,” said the druggist, “I know you. Aren’t you a policeman? Officer Fenwick, right?”
“Yeah, so?” said the officer.
“Well what the heck are you doing all dressed up like the Fire Chief?”
Singular and Plural
A third grade school teacher was trying to explain to her class the difference between singular and plural.
She said, “What do you call it if one woman looks out a window?”
Charlotte said, “Singular.”
The teacher said, “That’s right Charlotte. Now, what do you call it if many women are looking out of a window?”
Little Johnny raised his hand and blurted out, “A whorehouse!”
