I’ve been meaning to get all the soldier characters templates updated to reflect the new uniform standards. I have to admit, I’m a little jealous of veterans who came before and after me. I just barely missed the BDU jungle camo when I enlisted, and I never stuck around to get the OCP multicam uniform. All I got to wear was that algae looking ACU digicam that was unable to blend into any environment. They might as well have hung a bullseye on us.
But anywho, I’ve got a nasty cold this week, and I’m really sick, and I feel like shit. So I really hope you enjoyed this week’s comic. It’s one I’ve been meaning to do for a while, and despite the fact that my throat feels like it’s being reamed with a brass wire brush, I finally got it done and it’s on to something else.
Basically I grabbed the wrong character’s eyes when I put this one together. Those eyes were actually the ones used for the “Reddit” character that I recently created. I designed him with solid “Orangered” eyes with a black limbal ring. It was meant to give a him a jarringly unhinged appearance.
My design for SGT Scrapper is to show him with “threateningly reddish” eyes, but I now see that the psycho reddit eyes were way out of place.
It is fixed now, but your browser’s image cache may still be showing the original “crazy” version. Refresh or whatever works best for you.
Thanks for the heads up!

So it's been kind of a mixed bag this year. Sadly, my Aunt Pam passed away back in February, then my cat, Alex, died in June. On the plus side, I got Murphy in August, and I finally managed to pay off what was left of my old revolving credit card debt that I've had hanging over me for 40 years.
Born on June 22, 2025, Murphy is about 6 months old as of this post. I picked him up off Craig's List for $10 when he was about 7 weeks old. Since then I've spent about $1300 over 5 vet visits to make sure he got all his shots and yes that includes neutering. Where Alex merely tolerated Gail, Murphy adores her. and the two are regularly seen snuggling up to one another. Those photos aren't staged. These two are really that close.
In spite of everything, I'm still gainfully employed. it's highly doubtful AI is going to take my job anytime soon, so I guess I can be thankful for that. On the other hand I recently found out I have chronic kidney disease, so that's no beuno. I won't find out until January if lifestyle and medication changes are going to be enough to keep it from progressing. Fingers crossed.
On a lighter note, I've started occasionally live-streaming Tarot card readings on Twitch. No, I don't actually believe in magical mumbo-jumbo, but there is an art to the craft. I look at Tarot as basically being psychology with flashcards. There are 78 cards, and each card can have different and multiple meanings depending on its context. When you know what you're doing you can ALWAYS match randomly dealt cards to the context. Form a coherent narrative around the cards and you can actually gain an altered perspective on your situation that may give you more confidence in facing your problems.
So that's about it for 2025. Not gonna lie: While it wasn't all bad, this year sucked pretty hard. I can't make any promises, but I fully intend on putting out more than 2 comics in 2026, and I might even include a few more jokes and rants.
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.
Man, those eyes look really weird from the front.
Wow, it would appear as though I made a mistake.

Still weird-looking to me.
Ah, well… Let’s just chalk it up to too much cold medication. I’ll work on it.
