SUNDAY FUNNIES: ASK WAXY

Why ask me?

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

Now, despite the fact that I'm just a baby dragon, people ask me a lot of questions. I try to answer them the best I can, but sometimes...

Dear Waxy:
In what sport are the athletes most romantic?
Lost In The Arena Of Love

Dear Lost:
I honestly don't know which is the most romantic, but never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them.

♫Rock Around The Clock♫

Dear Waxy:
Can you help me with my Geology home work? I need to name three types of rock.
Stuck At My Desk.

Dear Stuck:
Classic, Punk, and Hard.

Dear Waxy:
If cattle had a sense of humor, would they be laughing stock?
Franny Farmer

Dear Franny:🐄
That question was an udder mess that didn't make any sense.

Dear Waxy:

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Bucky Beaver.

Dear Bucky:
It depends upon how strong the woodchuck is and why he/she wants to chuck wood in the first place.

Dear Waxy:
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
Confused.

Dear Confused:
An idea to post as this week's Sunday Funnies! 😉

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please come back here next week for more fun!—wd.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: ANAGRAM JOKES

♫Oh what magic in a word I found
by switching the letters around!♫

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

Now, amongst all my other various hobbies, I love word puzzles.
The crosswords (I can bark with the best of them), word searches, acrostics, you name it.

But when you can combine one of these with a joke, then I'm in doggie nirvana!

For example, let's look at some anagrams...



You can rearrange the letters in PRESBYTERIAN to spell BEST IN PRAYER.
But then again, isn't there enough division amongst the various religions as it is?

The word ASTRONOMER can be rearranged to spell MOON STARER.
Now, they also stare at a lot more than just the moon, but the restraining order is still in effect against that one guy who kept looking at Cassiopeia whenever she took a meteor shower.

THE EYES also spell an accurate job description too. THEY SEE.
Then again, some people are blind whenever their tongue covers their eye teeth. 😉

The 43rd President of the United States is also an accurate description of the 2000 election results.
GEORGE BUSH = HE BUGS GORE

Of course, a lot of ELECTION RESULTS might come down to LIES - LET'S RECOUNT.

When you're using THE MORSE CODE, HERE COME DOTS.
Then again, there's also DASHES, but there's no A in THE MORSE CODE, so maybe that doesn't work out as well as I'd like it to.

DORMITORY is a DIRTY ROOM, at least with some college students.
After all, hopefully they're too busy studying to worry about cleaning.
My dog house certainly isn't pristine either.

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next time for more SUNDAY FUNNIES!
FUNNY IS SUNDAE!
Especially when you go overboard trying to make one and the ice cream starts to melt before you can eat it.—AtP.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: HUH?

Hey Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!
Have you ever had one of those moments where somebody said or did anything that left you scratching your head and going "HUH?" because it didn't make any sense to you?
Well... welcome to my world!

"I am one step away from being rich. All I need is money."

"I can't remember what 51, 6, and 500 are in Roman Numerals. I'm LIVID."

A news report claimed someone stole all the toilet seats in the police station and investigators still have nothing to go on.

Don't judge an hourglass by how it looks. It's what's inside that counts.

A friend once tried to annoy me with bird puns, but toucan play that game.

When I told a friend how long lived dragons are, he replied, "I used to believe in reincarnation, but that was in a past life."

I once flew over a herd of sheep and saw a ram almost fall off the cliff because he did not see the ewe turn.
Don't worry, I scared him away from the edge in time to prevent the accident.

When I once asked Grandma Dragon for advice, she said, "I believe if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. Then try to find someone who life has given food and have a picnic."

Did the dark ages last for so long because resistance was feudal?

Why do people ride exercise bikes when they go nowhere?

Did you hear about the man who swallowed a dictionary?
It was the thesaurus throat he ever had!

The rotation of the earth really makes my day.

I once saw a protester with a sign that said: "Give me Ambiguity or give me something else!"
I still don't know what he was protesting.

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.
