2025 Year in Review
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.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!
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.

Yes, it’s a usable search function! Try it!
A Goodnight Kiss
At best, it had been awkward evening. After walking Alice to the door, Joe decided to there wasn’t much to lose, so he gave her a smouldering grin and asked, “How about a goodnight kiss?”
Incensed by his forwardness, Alice haughtily rebuffed him by saying, “I don’t do that sort of thing on a first date!”
His grin gave way to a smirk as he remarked, “Well then, what about on a last date?”
The Lengthy Sermons
A preacher had been notorious for his lengthy sermons. One Sunday he noticed a parishioner leaving halfway through the service. Just before the finish, the parishioner came back and returned to his seat.
Afterwards the preacher asked him where he had gone.
“I went to get a haircut,” said the man.
“Why didn’t you go before the service?” asked the preacher.
“I didn’t need one then!”
Making Faces
Little Billy was making faces at his classmates. The teacher became irritated and told Billy to stop.
“Why should I?” asked the defiant child.
“Because if you don’t,” explained the teacher, “Your face will eventually stick and it will stay like that forever!”
Billy rolled his eyes and said, “Can I assume you’re speaking from personal experience?”
The Vacuum Salesman
There was a knock at the door. When Mary answered it, she found a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
”Good morning,” said the young man. “If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.”
Quick as a flash, the young man pushed open the door and barged into the living room.
“Now I know you’re sceptical,” said the salesman, “but just wait till you see what this baby can do!”
With that, he emptied a bucket of dirt, rotten eggs, mushy tomatoes and other trash onto her carpet.
“If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this garbage from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat every last bit of it right off your floor.”
“I’ll fetch you a fork,” Mary replied. “I couldn’t afford the bill, so they shut off my electricity.”
Valuable Elements
The teacher asked her students, “If you could have an unlimited supply of any element, which one would you want?”
One boy said, “I would choose gold. It’s worth lots of money and I could buy a Corvette.”
Another boy said, “I would want platinum because it’s worth more than gold and I could buy a Porsche.”
Little Johnny said, “I would want silicon.”
“Why would you want that?” Asked the teacher
“Well my mom got some,” he replied, “and now there’s always a Porsche or Corvette sitting in our driveway.”
On the Fringe of Cringe
The Bottomless Beer
Cecil found an old lamp and rubbed it. Out popped a genie with the promise to grant three wishes.
After thinking it over Cecil said, “I wish for a bottomless mug of beer!”
Just then a mug of beer appeared in Cecil’s hand. He took a sip and it was the most delicious beer he had ever tasted! He tipped up the mug and started to chug it down, but no sooner than he swallowed, the mug magically replenished itself.
“And for your next two wishes, Master?” asked the genie.
Cecil stopped drinking for a moment to carefully consider his next two wishes before answering, “I think I better wish for two more of these.”
The Cemetery Present
Mark and Sally had not been getting along for years, but refused to consider getting a divorce. Being cruel and petty, however, was not entirely off the table.
When Mark bought Sally a cemetery plot for her birthday, she was not the least bit amused, but the following year he didn’t get her anything, which made her even more furious.
“So now you can’t even be bothered to give me anything on my birthday?” she scorned.
“I didn’t see the point,” explained Mark. “You didn’t even use the gift I got you last year.”
Heavenly Dogs
Little Susie’s beloved dog Sparky died, and her mother was having a hard time consoling the grieving child.
After burying the dog in their back yard the mother said, “Don’t worry, Honey. Sparky is in Heaven with God now.”
The little girl wiped her tear stained face and asked, “What’s God gonna do with a dead dog?”
