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!
The Castaway
From a small cruise ship, one of the passengers could see a bearded man on the shore of a small nearby island. He was shouting and waved his hands desperately at the passing boat.
Getting the attention of a crewman, the passenger asked, “Who is that man, and why is he so upset?”
“I’ve no idea,” replied the crewman. “But every week when we pass by, he goes nuts.”
Second Time First
A young woman wasn’t feeling well and asked her friend and colleague to recommend a physician.
“I know a great doctor in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, but only one hundred dollars for each visit after that.”
The woman went to the doctor’s office and, trying to save a little money, cheerfully announced, “I’m back!”
Not fooled for a second, the doctor quickly replied, “Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit.”
Ordering Dinner
An older man and his much younger wife went out to a swanky restaurant one night.
The waiter informed them the evening’s specials were the chicken almondine and the fresh salmon.
“The chicken sounds good,” said the woman. “I’ll have that.”
The waiter nodded. “And the vegetable?” he asked.
“Oh, he’ll have the fish,” replied the young wife.
Baggage Check In
At the airline check in, Caleb had three bags. He put them down and said to the young lady, “I’d like you to send this one to Los Angeles, that one to Hong Kong and the last one to London.”
Confused, the lady at the check in counter said, “I’m afraid we can’t do that, sir.”
“Why not?” said Caleb, “You somehow managed to do it the last time I flew with you.”
The Bridal Registry
Jackie went to the department store to purchase a gift from the bridal registry for her niece’s wedding.
When she returned from the store, Jackie went into the living room where her husband was watching television. She tossed the gift on the coffee table and declared, “I think she’s too young to get married.”
“Why do you say that?” asked the husband.
“Because, they only registered for Nintendo games.”
Filling In
The Alaskan Airstrip
Tory was sent to inspect a remote communications facility in northern Alaska. The region was covered in snow as they approached the landing strip.
The pilot descended to just a couple hundred feet, then gunned both engines, climbed, and circled back.
Nervous about this evasive maneuver, Tory gripped the armrests as his heart pounded. Meanwhile, the passenger beside him seemed quite calm.
“He didn’t land! Why didn’t he land?” asked Tory nervously.
“He was checking to see if the landing strip was plowed,” said the man beside him.
As they made a second approach, Tory asked the man, “Hasn’t anyone plowed the airstrip?”
“No,” said the seatmate. “It hasn’t been cleared for some time.”
“How can you be so sure?” asked Tory.
Without a hint of concern the man replied, “Because, I’m the guy who drives the plow.”
The Height of Discussion
The teacher asked her Biology class, “Does anyone know why girls tend to grow taller than boys during childhood?”
Frankie raised his hand and replied, “That’s because a guy has balls and that weighs him down.”
The teacher was a bit annoyed but decided to humor the notion, “Then why at maturity do men tend to grow taller than women?”
Frankie cooly replied, “That’s because a girl gets breasts, and they’re heavier than a guy’s balls.”
Three Dinosaurs
Three dinosaurs stumble across a magic lamp.
They rub it, and a genie appears.
“I have three wishes, so I’ll give one to each of you,” the genie announces.
The first dinosaur thinks hard.
“Alright,” he says, “I’ll have a big, juicy, piece of meat.”
Instantly, the biggest, juiciest piece of meat he’d ever seen appears in front of him.
Not to be outdone, the second dinosaur thinks even harder.
“I know! I’ll have a shower of meat!”
Immediately, huge pieces of meat rain down around him.
The third dinosaur, certainly not to be outdone, thinks harder than the previous dinosaurs.
“I’ve got it!” he cries, “I want a MEATIER shower!”
