SUNDAY FUNNIES: WEEKEND PUPDATE (March 2026)

AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE
WITH YOUR HOST KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!
I’m Koda Canine, and unfortunately my favorite baseball⚾ team can't serve any more drinks at their ballpark this season because they lost their home opener. 😞

Our top story:
A shapely nude woman is reportedly on a crime spree robbing banks, but police say they have nothing to go on because no one can remember her face.

Scientists calculate that if you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, you only weigh 84 pounds on Mars and 13 pounds on Pluto.
Their conclusion being that people are not fat, just on the wrong planet.

A riot broke out at the kleptomaniac convention when one attendee arrived late and found every seat taken.
WHERE IS IT?

A new study shows trees🌲🌳 feel re-leaved when spring comes.
But where the heck is Spring anyway?
Did it miss the bus?
Did it oversleep?
Where’s Spring?

And now, a word from our sponsor.
Blinkers not blinking?
Fuses and bulbs fine?
Then you need
Call 555-WEWANTYOUR$

Now, back to what passes for the news.

If you’re wearing pink today, you obviously forgot to separate your red clothing from your whites when doing laundry.

I heard a scientist came up with an acid that will eat through absolutely anything.
I wonder what he stores it in?

Now it’s time for my editorial.
My people just got a universal remote that is supposed to change everything. However I just found out that it only works on the television set. What a bummer.

NEWS ALERT!!
A kaiju monster size snail🐌 is rampaging the city. Walk for your lives!!!

When asked "What you would do if you found out that your child was a Homo-Sapien?" 55% of the Conservative Christians questioned said they would disown them and force them to leave home.
Homo Sapien is the scientific name for a human being.
Too bad this isn’t a joke.

And finally: 
Remember: your wrinkles show you laugh. Any gray hair shows you care and any scars show you’re living.

On that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.
For Weekend Pupdate, I’m Koda Canine.

NEXT SUNDAY: EB the Easter Bunny🐰 hops by for his annual visit!

SUNDAY FUNNIES: RAIDER OF THE ROUND FILE (misc. jokes)

Piper D. Katt
 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
Every time I've looked out a window today, it's raining.☔😾
Thankfully it's not snow.
I've had enough of that to last my entire nine lives, but isn't there some way to change the channel to more sunny and bright days?
In any event, I've been scratching around all day trying to come up with some decent jokes to tell, but the only source I've found is the dreaded Free Choice E-zine office's "round file".
So here goes nothing.
Ready?

I got thrown out of the local coffee shop for wearing a tee shirt.

What do you call a boomerang🪃 that doesn’t return?
A stick.

When you eat a donut without sprinkles, is that a hard diet?

My laptop keeps singing ♫Water Under The Bridge♫.
The Dreaded "Round File"

I'm the proud owner of Adele computer. 😼

When I was young, I was afraid of the dark.
Now when I see my electric bill, I am scared of the light.

I asked my daughter for a phone book.
She laughed at me and called me a dinosaur, then lent me her phone.
Long story short, the spider is dead, the I-Phone is broken and my daughter is mad at me.

I am really glad cats have nine lives.
It's the only way I'm going to have enough time to accomplish everything I want to do in this universe.

If you were allowed $86400 each day but you had to spend all of it by the end of the day, what would you do?
That is how many seconds there are in a day, and when they are gone, they are gone.
Put your seconds to use.

So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies when Koda Canine presents his Weekend Pupdate.—PDK.
