Mixed Bag

So Gail is really starting to come into her own. She’s beginning to understand the “rules” of being a dog, and being around her has become more enjoyable as a result. She seems a lot happier too.

On the other hand, there are other aspects of my life that have gotten notably worse. I don’t want to get into it, but I am seriously considering finding another job and leaving the employer I’ve had for over 20 years.

The thought of job hunting at my age is kind of scary. The good news is, I don’t look anywhere near my age. People still easily mistake me for being in my early thirties. The bad news is, I’ve gotten a tad bit obese, and fat people are easier to discriminated against than old people. Even if I start a highly aggressive weight loss plan last week, it would be several months before I got down to an attractive weight, and I may not have that much time.

In any event, the warning signs are brightly lit, and I need to get my ducks lined up so that I have a viable exit strategy from an increasingly unstable situation.

Guessing Engagement

A young man excitedly told his mother that he had fallen in love and was going to get married.

“Just for fun, Mama, I’m going to show you a picture of 3 girls,” said the young man, “and you try and guess which one I’m going to marry.”

As the mother nodded in agreement, the son took out a photograph of three young women, and showed it to her.

She immediately blurted out, “The one on the right.”

“That’s amazing, Mama! How did you know?”

The mother replied, “Because I don’t like her.”

The “Here After” Routine

As the car came to a stop on the edge of a lonely country road, the young woman remarked, “You aren’t going to pull that old ‘out of gas’ routine on me, are you?

“No,” said the fellow. “I’m going to pull the ‘here after’ routine.”

“What’s that?” she asked unwittingly.

“If you’re not here after what I’m here after, you’ll be here after I’m gone.”

Island Wishes

A Blonde, a red head, and a brunette were walking along an island beach. One of them found a bottle and a genie popped out.

The genie said he would grant each of them one wish.

The blonde said, “I need to get off this island. I wish for a rowboat.”

With a flash, a rowboat appeared and she rushed it out into the water.

The redhead said, “I also need to get off this island, so I wish for a jet ski.”

With a flash, the jet ski appeared, and the redhead rushed it out into the water, overtaking the blonde.

The genie then turned to the brunette as she shook her head.

”I guess I’ll take a million dollars,” said the brunette, “and just use the bridge to get back home.”

On the Witness Stand

A blonde was summoned to court to appear as a witness in a lawsuit. The prosecutor opened his questioning with, “Where were you the night of August 24th?”

“Objection!” said the defense attorney. “Irrelevant!”

“Oh, that’s okay,” said the blonde from the witness stand. “I don’t mind answering the question.”

“I object!” the defense said again.

“No, really,” said the blonde. “I’ll answer.”

The judge ruled: “If the witness insists on answering, there is no reason for the defense to object.”

So the prosecutor repeated the question: “Where were you the night of August 24th?”

The blonde replied brightly, “I don’t know.”

Extremely Busy

Even when I have some time off, that time has already got something penciled in. I have been running around non-stop for the past two weeks. Minus the calisthenics, it has nearly the same feel as the amount of work I had to put in for the military.

I got that “Work hard; play hard” sort of thing going on. I just want some time off so I can catch my breath… And I mean some real time off where I don’t have to worry about anything.

Alas, it’s not to be. My schedule is booked tight for the foreseeable future, and I’ve got to shoehorn in a few more things before it is all over.

Our award for best contributors goes to George and Glenn. Those two guys keep emailing me jokes… most of which I’ve already used, but at least they still send me emails on a regular basis. Of course you could be using our submission page to send me jokes or even email flush2x@gmail.com like George and Glenn do.
