Running a little behind

So yesterday (Saturday) morning I woke up to another stunning headache. Of course no one knows what’s causing these migraines, but the thing that really gets me is that they typically happen on my days off. This time is was so bad I threw up. It kind of pisses me off, because I had shit to do, and I’m left completely incapable of even basic tasks.

I was kind of busy all last week, what with work and all. It was the end of the month, so mostly 10 hour days. Something I’ve noticed lately… No matter what, I spend at least two hours in the kitchen every day. In any event I had pushed back doing the comic until the weekend, and Friday I was so tired I figured I do it first thing in the morning… And then I got the migraine. It lasted until well into the afternoon. Believe me when I tell you that looking at a screen with a migraine is like stabbing out your eyes with steak knives.

Not to change the subject, but I just noticed that it’s Sunday the 1st. That means there’s going to be a Friday the 13th soon. It’s not that I’m superstitious, but the yokel locals tend to run amok when these sorts of things occur. C’est la vie.

The Italian Grandma

An Italian grandmother was giving directions over the phone to her grandson who was coming to visit.

“First you come to the front door of the apartments. I’m in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, you push the number 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in and with your elbow push the number 3. When you get out, turn left. With your elbow, ring my doorbell.”

“Grandma, that sounds easy,” said the grandson, “but why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow?”

“What?!” exclaimed the grandma. “You weren’t thinking about coming here empty handed were you?”

A Secluded Monastery

There was a monastery in Europe perched high on a cliff several hundred feet in the air.

The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several old monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength.

Obviously the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying. One tourist got exceedingly nervous about half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed.

With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope.

The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, “Whenever it breaks.”

Why Sharks Circle

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spotted survivors of a ship that had just sunk.

“Follow me son” the older father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.

“First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing.” And they did.

“Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing.” And they did.

“Now we eat everybody.” And they did.

When they were both gorged, the son asked, “Dad, why didn’t we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?”

His wise old father replied, “Because they taste better without the shit inside!”

Irish Whiskey

A fellow is talking to his Irish buddy and says, “I gotta stop drinking that Irish whiskey”

“How come?” asked his friend.

“Because every Saturday night I go out and drink a fifth of the stuff, come home, make mad passionate love to the wife, wake up Sunday morning, and go to mass.”

“What’s wrong with that?” the Irishman asks. “A lot of good Irishman go out on Saturday night, drink a fifth of good Irish whiskey, come home, do the wife, and go to mass on Sunday.”

“I know,” said his friend, “but I’m Jewish.”

Lost Little Johnny

Little Johnny was wandering up and down the aisles of a supermarket while crying his eyes out.

“What’s the matter fella?” asked a stock boy.

“I’ve lost my mommy!” wailed Little Johnny.

“Don’t worry, we’ll soon find her,” soothed the stock boy.

“Now tell me, what’s mommy like?”

“Bourbon and men with big dicks,” sobbed Little Johnny

Throwing in the Towel

Two months ago there was an opening in the shop where I work. It was a step up from my usual thing, and the pay was higher to boot. I put in my bid, and on account of my 20 years of seniority, I got the position. I finally felt as though I had “arrived”.

At first, things were OK. I learned a lot, and I thought I was going to fit in well. Unfortunately there were a few things that just didn’t seem like they were working out. Then there was an “incident”. No one got hurt or anything, but it freaked me out.

Everyone kept telling me that it’s happened to everyone in this job, and even though I knew that it did, I just felt very uncomfortable being in that position. The next day I asked for my old job back, the day after that, I made it a little more clear that I wanted my old job back. They gave me my old job back.

So there you have it. I gave it a shot, it wasn’t for me, and I threw in the towel.
