SUNDAY FUNNIES: CHESS JOKES

"Food to empty dog dish, gulp!"
Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
Being an intellectual puppy, I love intellectual games as well as traditional dog stuff.
I mean, I still fetch (with the right incentive), play "tug of war", go for walks, etc; but I also like to use my brain too.
I prefer Jeopardy! to Wheel of Fortune, actually watch the news (although most of the stuff that happens outside my own backyard I don't always understand), and I love chess.
That classic game of knights, pawns, queens, kings, bishops, etc.
A game of strategy and wits in a bloodless battle on a pretty simplistic field of honor.
Or in other words, I'm posting some chess themed jokes today. Ready?

A group of chess enthusiasts had checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

In a park people come across a man playing chess against a dog. They are astonished and say, "What a clever dog!"
But the man protests, "No, no, he isn't that clever. I'm winning three games to one!"

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match against me at kick boxing.😉

“Can you buy an entire chess set in a pawnshop?”
"Maybe, but don't get rooked into paying a high price for it."

One friend said to the other, "I saw an explosive game of chess the other day," to which the other replied, "How so?"
"The first move was pawn to c4!

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: SUMMER PUN LESSONS

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

It's summertime. A magical season when kids are out of school and finally get to be kids again, at least for a while; parents continue to worry about their children, and can't wait for them to be back in school again.

I know Bubblehead always worries about me. After all, who can you get to "babysit" a companion dragon when you're at work???

Anyway, some parents also worry that during the summer their children will forget everything they've learned in school the previous year.
NOT ME!
My brain is like the Bermuda Triangle. Knowledge goes in, never to be seen again.

After all, did you know that the best hollandaise sauce can be found in Nome, Alaska?
Why?
That's because ♫there's no place like Nome for the hollandaise.♫

Go ahead. Quiz me.
♫Are you ready to rock?♫

What do you get when you cross a stream and a brook?
Wet feet.

What do you call a song sung by an automobile?
A cartoon.

What rock group won't sing?
Mount Rushmore.

See, I know a lot of stuff!
None of it may never help me on one of those "standardized tests", but...

Anyway, a day is a span of time no one is wealthy enough to waste. So I think I'm going to make another attempt at raiding Bubblehead's secret stash of delicious Belgosian Dark Chocolate, although I have no idea why he thinks it's a secret stash since I know about it, and then this baby dragon is going to have some more summer fun!

Take care everybody! Have a great week, and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.
