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.

The Lost Balloonist
A man flying in a hot air balloon realized he was lost, so he reduced altitude and spotted a man walking down below. As he lowered the balloon further, he shouted to the person on the ground, “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am? ”
The pedestrian replied, “Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, about 30 feet above the ground.”
Miffed, the balloonist retorted, “You must work in IT.”
“I do,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“While everything you told me is technically correct, I won’t be able to find my landing site because the information you gave me is completely useless!”
The man below replied, “Then I presume you work in management.”
“I do,” replied the balloonist, “But how did you know?”
“Because you got where you are by means of a lot of hot air, you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, you expect someone beneath you to solve your problem, and while you’re in the same position you were in before we met, somehow it’s now my fault.”
Hooked
An old seaman met an old pirate in a bar, and talked about their adventures on the sea. The seaman noted that the pirate had a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.
The seaman asked, “So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?”
The pirate replied, “We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.”
“Wow!” exclaimed the seaman. “What about your hook”?
“We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords,” recalled the pirate. “In the skirmish, one of the enemy managed to cut off my hand.”
“Incredible!” remarked the seaman. “And how did you get the eye patch?”
“A seagull dropping fell into my eye,” replied the pirate.
“You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?,” the sailor asked incredulously.
“Well,” sighed the pirate, “it was my first day with the hook”
Waking up Grumpy
Stan and Jerry were a couple of old fishing buddies. Early Saturday morning, Stan called Jerry and said, “Jerry, it’s Stan. Look, I’m not gonna be able to go fishing this morning like we planned.”
“Why not?” asked Jerry. “We’ve been planning this fishing trip all week!”
“Look, I woke up grumpy this morning,” explained Stan.
Jerry thought for a moment and said, “Well, have you tried getting her to go back to bed?”
Parental Concern
A woman sought advice from a family therapist, “It’s my daughter that I’m worried about. I found her with the little boy next door. They were both naked and examining each other’s bodies!”
“That’s doesn’t sound unusual,” smiled the therapist. “I wouldn’t worry about it.”
“But I am worried, doctor,” insisted the woman, “and so is my daughter’s husband!”
Coffee Run
A recently hired blonde was tasked was to go out for coffee. Armed with a large thermos, she hurried to a nearby coffee shop.
When she got there, she held up the thermos so that the man behind the counter could see it. “Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?” she asked.
Looking at the thermos the man replied, “It should easily hold six cups.”
Handing the thermos over, the blonde said, “Wonderful! I need you to fill it with one black, two decaf, and three with cream and sugar.”
Always Busy with Something
The New Hearing Aid
An elderly gentleman had a serious hearing problem for a number of years. He went to the doctor and was fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the man to hear again.
A month went by and the man went back to the doctor for a standard follow up.
The doctor remarked, “It would seem your hearing is nearly perfect now. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
“Oh, I haven’t told my family yet,” said the old man. “I just sit around and listen to the conversations, and I’ve changed my will three times!”
Sex with a Ghost
The university was offering a course in paranormal studies, and to get a feel for his audience the professor asked, “How many of you here believe in ghosts?”
Nearly every student raised their hand.
“Well that’s a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you’ve ever seen a ghost?”
About half the students raised their hands.
“That’s interesting. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?
About half of those students raised their hands.
“That’s great Has anyone here ever been touched by a ghost?”
Three students raise their hands.
“That’s fantastic. But let me ask you one question further,” said the professor. “Has any of you ever made love to a ghost?”
One student in the back raised his hand.
The professor was astonished. He took off his glasses and said, “Son, in all the years I’ve been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have had intimate contact with a ghost. Please come up here and tell us about your experience.”
The student made his way up to the podium.
The professor said, “Now, tell us what was it like to have sex with a ghost.”
The student replied, “Ghost? From back there I thought you said ‘goats’!”
An Israeli Unknown Soldier
A tourist, visited the National Memorial Hall For Israel’s Fallen where there is an eternal flame monument to Unknown Soldiers.
At the base of the memorial, a sign was displayed: “Here lies Seymour Ruthenberg”.
The tourist asked one of the attendants how was it possible that the unknown had a name.
The old man replied, “As a soldier, that Seymour was pretty much unknown, but as an accountant-Oy! He was something.”
