Frantic, Fearful Friday -- Funny?

Frantic, Fearful Friday -- Funny?

THE FIRST 5 DAYS
AFTER THE

WEEKEND ARE
_THE HARDEST

Not to be a "downer," but I'm still in post-election mode here in the U.S. 聽I feel like the owl on the bottom right side of the picture above.聽

It's not only that Hillary didn't win, it's that Trump did. I almost decided not to post the funnies this week, but honestly -- I need them as much as anyone does!

If anyone else needs a lift, I hope this post helps.

IT'S AWKWARD

Daughter's text to Dad:

Daddy, I'm coming home to get married
soon, so get your checkbook ready.
LOL! As you know, I'm in Australia and
he's in the US. We met on a dating site,
became friends on Facebook, and had
long chats on Whatsapp. He proposed
to me on Skype and now we've had a 2
month relationship through Viber. Dad,
| need your blessing, good wishes, and
a really big wedding. Lots of love, Lilly.
Dad’s reply:
My dear Lilly, Like Wow! Really? Cool!
Whatever... | suggest you two get
married on Twitter, have fun on Tango,
register for your stuff on Amazon, and
pay for it all through Paypal. And when
you get fed up with this new husband,
sell him on Ebay. Lots of love, Dad.

And my favorite for today -- yes. I'm hogging all the chocolate and bacon! And the wine, even though there is a "we" in wine. It's all mine today.聽

As I may have stated before, Praveen, grandad jokes are merely grand, dad jokes! 馃槉

I don't want the U.S. election to rule my life any more than it already has, Jim Saelzler! I know somehow we'll get through this, and I just wanted to keep to my regular routine, which includes Friday Fundays.

Thanks, Ken Boddie! You would think it would have been obvious, right?

Wish we could do it now, Phil Friedman.

Look at it this way, Susan, at least we have a ready made slogan for the next presidential election, one that rhymes: DUMP TRUMP!

Politicians come and go, Susan, but humour is forever. Then there's the 'dad jokes' (what say you, Kevin Pashuk?) that tend to hang around like a bad smell. Incidentally the plan ahead fingers get my vote.

The spider cup is evidence that the school system did not beat the creativity out of all its students... I may borrow that one.

I admit, John Vaughan, I hadn't thought of that!
