Saw this the other day, and it made me feel a little guilty that someone confined to a chair appears to get more done than I do. Great validation for classic humor, and a fusion of true geniuses in totally unrelated fields.

  Yeah, either of these seem like a wise precaution….. well, until the monthly Pest Control guy drops in.  

Yep, anyone know any St. Paddy jokes?….  Here’s one I heard on the TV a few minutes ago…..  Mrs. Paddy was busy milking the cow…..  A fly kept bugging her, flying around her head and ears – just being annoying, which is a fly’s job, right?…..  She finally got the fly to leave her alone […]

A  SNIGLET (snig’ lit) is any word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary, but should……  I was going through my tons of stuff and found the book “Sniglets” written by Rich Hall, who used to be on the HBO series, “NOT NECESSARILY THE NEWS”…..  I thought, since no one else is Posting (Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge), […]
