SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY COMEDY

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
The weather is supposed to get better as the week progresses in my neck of the woods, but you couldn't say that right now by just looking out the window at the cloudy sky.
Then again, do woods have necks?
I know they have branches and trunks because of all the trees.
Anyway, let's get on to some actual jokes.
Ready?

Although they misspelled the ending, I know why they call it Tupperware.
Because you're always wondering where the misplaced lids are.😼

You should never trust an atom because they make up everything.

Is anything unrelated to elephants🐘🐘 irrelephant???

NASA had a HUGE celebration for the safe return of the Artemis II.
The party was successful too because they planet in advance of launch.

My friend thought about becoming vegan, then realized it would be a huge missed steak.

While they're no longer in production, if you smell a penny, you'll find it only has one cent.

How did the telephone☎ propose to its girlfriend?
He gave her a ring.

Did you hear about the rancher who wanted to establish his business online?
He set up his computer in the barn to have a stable internet connection.

On beautiful sunny days I love working outside because being a cat, I do the same thing there I do inside.
Absolutely nothing. Meow!😼

So on that note, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.

And on that note♫ it's been fun folks!
As usual I'm gonna hop home, kick back, relax, hang out with my peeps🐣🐤🐥 and take a well deserved carrot🥕 break before I start planning things for next Easter.
