Friday Funny: How To Clean A Toilet

HOWDY!!! We have (finally) a return of the Friday Funnies! I’m really sorry it’s been so long since the last update, but the Funnies in my mail have been slim here of late…  Either that or *cough* they weren’t “appropriate” to place on the internet.  Well, not appropriate for this site.    But this little Gem came in and made me … Read more

Friday Funny: A couple of Quick Ones

Happy Friday Everyone!!! It’s been a rough week… or two.  That’s why you’ve only seen the Friday Funny posts up.  It’s  been a bit busy around here… cleaning up some messes and trying to keep my head above water.  (I really should make better use of the “Schedule Post” feature)   At any rate,  I’m really glad it’s Friday! Today’s set … Read more

Friday Funny: Teacher Joke

*sigh*  🙁   Well, the Summer Vacation is officially over.  Since I have so many friends who are teachers and School is about to start back here in Knox County,  I thought today’s Friday Funny should go out to all my Teacher friends.  You know,  just to help prepare them for a return to the classroom and all their wonderful students after a Summer break that may have dulled their reactions.

Enjoy!  😈

The boy pauses.  “None,” he replied thoughtfully.

“None,” the boy says with authority.

The teacher sighs.  “Tell me how you came up with that.”

“It’s simple,” says the boy, “after the gunman shot one bird, he scared the other two away.”

“Well,” she says, “it’s not technically correct, but I like the way you think.”

“Okay,” chimes the boy, “now let me ask you a question.

The First Microsoft Bing Ad

I ran across this a little while ago. Microsoft has launched it’s first Bing commercial and, it’s not terrible. Nothing Earth Shattering but it’s a pretty good commercial. I’ve used “Bing” a few times and I’ll say one thing, it is quite fast returning results. I’ve not put it head to head with Google yet to see what it does … Read more

Friday Funny: The Nun

Well, here we go again… A TWO-FUR on this Rainy Friday. Don’t think this will become a habit or anything… We can’t just go around all “Willie-Nillie” having TWO Friday Funnies each week.
