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!

The Lost Bible
A priest lost his favorite Bible after conducting a graveside funeral service. Three weeks later, a dog walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The priest couldn’t believe his eyes.
He took the precious book out of the dog’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!”
“Not really,” said the dog. “Your name was written inside of the cover.”
The Undergraduate’s Death
It was a brisk spring morning when an undergraduate bumped into his former teacher. “Good morning, Professor Milsap!” said the young lad.
“Do I know you?” replied the teacher.
“It’s me, Robbie Gorton. I was in your class last semester,” explained the student.
“Can’t be!” snorted the professor. “Robbie Gorton is dead!”
“I can assure you, I’m very much alive,” smiled the student.
“Impossible,” said the professor. “I was told you’d died by a colleague who’s had 22 peer-reviewed papers published, so his opinion’s bound to be much more reliable than yours.”
The Blind Date
Paul went on a blind date with Wilma.
To break the ice, Wilma mentioned, “I absolutely love animals.”
“That’s fascinating,” remarked Paul. “I happen to work with animals every day.”
“That’s so sweet,” sighed Wilma. “Tell me what you do!”
With a proud smile Paul informed her, “I’m a butcher!”
Intersection Incident
The light turned yellow, and the driver did the right thing, stopping before the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection
A tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection while dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door.
She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ”I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday-School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally…I assumed you had stolen the car.”
Combating a Crook
One night, Murphy was walking home when, all of a sudden, a thief jumped on him. Murphy and the thief began to wrestle. They rolled about on the ground and Murphy put up a tremendous fight. However, the thief managed to get the better of him and pinned him to the ground.
The thief then went through Murphy’s pockets and searched him. All the thief could find on Murphy was 25 cents.
The thief was so surprised at this that he asked Murphy why he had bothered to fight so hard for 25 cents.
“Was that all you wanted?” Murphy replied, “I thought you were after the five hundred dollars I’ve got in me shoe!”

Got Fiber?
Over the summer AT&T was laying fiber in my neighborhood. Of course I was mildly optimistic, but in some ways I’d kind of gotten used to my 4G modem, and was hoping for higher data allowances though my wireless provider.
So I got the mailer. 300Mbps fiber connection for $50/month with a Terabyte datacap and free installation. Uhhh… Yeah… What is it I’m getting right now? Oh yeah… Close to 100Mbps at $50/month, but only 24 Gigabytes. Hmmm… Let me think about this…
Of course the rate goes up after a year, but they do have lower priced options, and I can always go back to wireless if I have to…
So of course I signed up. I’m getting it installed this week.
Oh, and one more thing: FUCK YOU, SPECTRUM.
Kudos
George isn’t emailing anyone right now because he had a minor heart attack. From what I hear he’s going to be OK, but no one sent any jokes, and that left me scrounging. If you’d like to help out, the submission page is at your disposal. I also accept jokes via flush2x@gmail.com. Thoughts and prayers. Get well soon, George.

Just Tossing it out There
Road Work
One morning a local highway construction crew reached their job site and realized they didn’t have any shovels.
The crew’s foreman called the office and told his supervisor the situation.
The supervisor assured the foreman, “Don’t worry, we’re sending out the shovels now, but the workers will have to stand around and lean on each other until they arrive.”
Doctor of Produce
A man walked into his doctor’s office with a stick of celery in one ear, a carrot in the other and a grape up his nose.
The man had a worried look on his face and asked, “Doctor what’s wrong with me?”
The doctor briefly examined the man and concluded, “You’re not eating properly!”
