SUNDAY FUNNIES: WHY? (misc. jokes)

Inquisitive little dragon, ain't I?

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!
Now I'll be the first to admit that I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what to do for this post.
There are some left over jokes from our annual Back To School episode that Autumn the Puppy and I didn't get a chance to use, but most of them involve dogs and homework and I can't do that to my friend.
But yet, no matter how good each day at Dragon School is, the teachers always seem unable to answer some of my questions. So I'm going to post them here and see if YOU have the information I seek. Ready?

Would working in a security position for the Samsung Corporation make that person a Guardian of

the Galaxy? 🌌

Shouldn't using the self checkout register at a store entitle you to an employee discount?

Why do underwear and socks🧦 come in resealable bags, but potato chips don’t?

Have you ever noticed that the word "nun" is actually just a picture of the letter "n" doing a cartwheel?

Why can't you buy chicken🐔 broth at the stock market?

Does boiling a funny bone make it laughing stock?

If I have any questions about the Arctic, should I go poll a bear?😉

What should you do if you see an endangered animal eating a rare plant?

Can't you get the other chess pieces at a pawn shop too?

If you play a country music song backwards, do you REALLY get a happy ending?

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

AMONGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…

*Dorian was still a menace starting off this past week, but has since faded into history. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Will the United States ever consider negotiations with the Taliban??? American President Trump says “no”, so the Taliban went to Moscow instead. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*No extension for planning Brexit, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson vows leaving the European Union by October 31. Whatever happens, England will have to carry on without John Bercow. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*European Georgia has a new Prime Minister.
*The end of the dinosaurs restaged.
*That’s Titanic, no pun intended.
*How black is it???

THE CLIMATE CHANGE CHRONICLES…
*Is the answer MORE power plants???😕
*You want to do WHAT with all that radioactive water???🤯

THE LATEST FROM/ON IRAN...
*Does American President Donald Trump want to “bail out” Iran???

THE TERRORIST REPORT…
*The Free Choice E-zine does not support terrorism, no matter what the “cause” or alleged “justification”. Thus we will only be posting news items in this section whenever terrorists are brought to justice.

😢PASSING PARADE…
*The victims of Typhoon Faxai.
*Oil Tycoon T. Boone Pickens has passed away.
*Tongan Prime Minister Akilisi Pohiva is no longer with us.

THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*With families being separated upon apprehension, President Trump declared the lack of a border wall a “national emergency”. There have since been legal and legislative battles initiated over this.
*The Supreme Court has approved asylum restrictions.
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to discuss the costs of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR detainees (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
TARIFF TALK…
*Imports are down, on BOTH sides.
POLITICALLY…

SUNDAY FUNNIES: BACK TO SCHOOL 2019

Waxy Dragon (as if you couldn't tell)

Autumn the Puppy

Hello Everybody!
Today you have you have both Autumn the Puppy AND Waxy Dragon here as we hold our annual Back To School Special! 😀

That's right Autumn. I'm back in Dragon School for another year, to which Bubblehead took a day off to celebrate for some odd reason. What about you?

Well...
I've already been to Obedience School. Twice.
Those silly people running the place still don't know anything about how to be a dog.
Sit. Stay. Beg.
Who do they think I am? A trained seal?
What happened to run, jump, play, romp, love, and all the other neat things dogs do?

Anyway, let's get on to the jokes, folks!

Oxygen and Potassium went on a date!

They say it was OK and will go again soon. Aw...

What is a math teacher's favorite snack?
Pi! 𝛑

The teacher was admonishing the children for not working hard enough on the test.
“Anybody who thinks they are stupid, stand up.”
There was a long moment of silence, then Johnny stood up.
The teacher said, “Johnny, do you really think you are stupid?”
“No, but I felt bad for you being the only one standing.”

The math teacher was explaining addition.
“One plus five equals six. Two plus four equals six. Three plus three equals six.”
One kid thought about that for a moment and said, “Oh come on now. Can't you make up your mind?”

“Know any psychiatrist jokes?”
“I’m a-Freud not."

Not all math jokes are bad, just sum.

And on that note♫, that's all the time and space we have for now.
Waxy will be flying solo next weekend. Until then, take care, and have a great week everybody!
AtP and WD.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: LAUGHING AT LIFE & OTHER THINGS (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior here since the ladies have the Labor Day holiday weekend off.
Now I know a lot of people are (rightly) concerned about Hurricane Dorian🌀 out in the Atlantic right now, and I can't blame you.
Being originally from the Gulf Coast myself, the best advice I can give in regards to such a storm is, whenever possible, if you know which way it's headed, GO THE OTHER WAY!

But the idea here is to take your mind off of your troubles for a few minutes, so...

Being able to respond with sarcasm within seconds of a stupid question is a sign of a healthy mind.

When cooking, if you boil a funny bone, does it becomes laughing stock?

The Buggles claim ♫Video Killed The Radio Star♫, but Video's lawyer says his client has an alibi for that night!

Is it true that if you play a country music song backwards, you get a happy ending?

Never bet on a silkworm race. It always ends in a tie.

Sometimes you have to wonder about the world today.
A bank teller told a customer there was insufficient funds available to cover the check he wanted to cash, so the man asked the teller "Is the problem with my account or the bank?"💸

Believe it or not, the cheapest concert available to enjoy costs only 45¢!
Just catch Rapper 50¢ with Nickleback.

And remember: never take chips to a Salsa DANCE!😉

So on that note♫, I hope everyone has a great week, hurricane or no hurricane. Take care, and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—lh,jr.

STAY SAFE!
