SUNDAY FUNNIES: DOGGING IT (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!

It's a beautiful bright sunshiny🌅 day and I'm out on my back porch just enjoying the warmth of the sun on my fur.
Of course, before I decided to lay out and relax, I dug up plenty of jokes to share with everyone. Ready?

 Reading while sunbathing will make you well red.

 Imagine how loud a centipede would be if they wore flip-flops!

Waitress: “I see your glass is empty. Would you like another?”
Customer: “Why would I want two empty glasses?” 

I’ve begun to invest in stocks. Beef, Chicken, Vegetable, Pork, Fish, Crab....
Someday I’ll be a Bullionaire!

A duck🦆, a skunk🦨 and a deer🦌 had dinner in a restaurant one night.
When it came time to pay, the skunk didn’t have a cent and the deer didn’t have a buck, so they ended up putting it on the duck’s bill. 

I told the doctor I thought I was a pair of curtains.
He told me to pull myself together.

My opinion of message boards?
I’m forum.

Why can’t cows🐄🐮 become detectives?
Because they refuse to go on steak outs.

There is only one thing that makes a good Pizza🍕 Joke: the delivery.

Irish toast🥂: "May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live."
French Toast: Bread, cinnamon, eggs, sugar...

What if there were no rhetorical questions?

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY CELEBRITY CITINGS: AUTHORS EDITION

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here with a whole new batch of Celebrity Quotes to cite!
As usual, these are quotes from celebrities, followed by something witty by meow. And as a special treat, every quote is from a famous author! Ready?

"If English made any sense, LACKADAISICAL would have something to do with a shortage of flowers." ~~ Doug Larson.
Flowers are great, when I have the chance to lay in them and just watch the world go by for awhile.

"Every flower that bloomed had to go through a lot of dirt to get there." ~~ Barbara Johnson.
Life may be tough at times, but it sure beats the alternative!

"Every storm eventually runs out of rain.☔" ~~ Maya Angelou.
And the sooner the better for some folks, considering climate change and other disasters.

And ain't love grand with the right one?
"Many people hear voices when no one is there. A few are called 'mad' and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all days. Others are called 'writers' and they pretty much do the same thing." ~~ Ray Bradbury.
Maybe, except the writers eventually get at least some pay for their thoughts.

"Before putting someone in their place, make sure you are in yours." ~~Morgan Richard Olivier.
Or as Benjamin Franklin said: "Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

"The only thing that you have that nobody else has is YOU. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live only as you can." ~~ Neil Gaiman.
"To thine own self be true." ~~ William Shakespeare.
We are all unique. So be yourself, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

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