SUNDAY FUNNIES: PUNNING AROUND

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

As long time readers of this feature know, I love puns.
So, without further adieu, I'd like to present a new batch of them to you. Ready?

Only a true king could remove the sword from the stone.
No one else could because they didn't have Arthurization.


Some aquatic animals escaped the zoo.
It was Otter chaos.

The man who repaired the Ferris Wheel is now bragging to everyone that he saved the whirled.

"I don't care if the musical is rated G sharp. I hear there is a lot of Sax and Violins in that movie."

Is a vulpine pretending to be an enemy when he ain't a faux?

A couple of bulls see a cow but have no idea who she is because they've never seen herbivore.

Unfortunately I am good friends with only 25 letters in the alphabet and I don't know why.

Isn't the Grand Canyon (pictured on the left) just gorges?

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: MOVIE MAGIC

"Pass the popcorn. NOW!"
Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

Now, one thing parents always worry about when their kids are home are the little ones sitting in front of their TVs or computer screens playing too many video games.

Not ol' Bubblehead, who's responsible for my health and well being.
Considering I still haven't found where he hid the game controllers yet, I spend most of my screen time watching movies, and it's amazing the secrets you learn from them. Like...

Most movie dogs are immortal, which certainly makes Autumn the Puppy happy.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing parade at any time of the year.
Failing that, there's always a handy, nearby crowd to lose yourself in.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of french bread, which must make the local bakery very happy.

It's easy to land a plane if there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
Then again, when I go flying, I never need a plane.

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off.
Human females seem to love that stuff, but I think it tastes awful.

Waxy's favs!
The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No-one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want with little difficulty.

Kids, DON'T try that at home! It's difficult for a baby dragon to do so to begin with. I always have to keep my wings folded against my body to get through those things, which always gives me wing cramps.

Not big enough for Waxy!


When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill. Just grab one at random and
hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

Now if only I had one of those magic wallets. Then again, I never ride in taxis and those things never seem to work for anything else.

On that note, I'm going to watch some more movies if I can find where Bubblehead hid the remote controls for the cable box and the TV set.

Have a good week and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: BONING UP ON BOOKS (Literacy IS important!)

"I love to sink my teeth into a good book!"
Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here.
Now, for those of you who don't know, I'm a smart dog.
I've been to Obedience School and everything.
Okay, I'm still not quite sure who was supposed to be obeying who, but anyway...

One thing I love to do when I have time on my paws is read a good book.
After all, EVERYONE should be able to read. It's an unalienable right of existence!
So I thought I'd share some of titles I've read of late with you.
Ready?

Desert Crossing by Rhoda Camel was a hot page turner.

The Art of Archery by Beau N. Arrow got right to the point.

Stop Arguing by Xavier Breath is one every hot head should read.

Positive Reinforcement by Wade Ago certainly needs no encouragement.

Swimming In The Ocean by C. Lyons was all wet. Then again, maybe I'm biased because the best I can do is dog paddle.

Songs For Children by Barbara Blacksheep is best read aloud in a soft voice at bedtime.

I Lost My Balance by Eileen Dover and Phil Down tells the story about a clumsy tightrope walker who quickly found a new line of work.

Bee Keeping For Beginners by A. P. Array is getting a lot of buzz right now.

But while the above was comedy, the fact that literacy IS important and everyone should not only be able to read, but has the RIGHT to read cannot be denied!
So if you need help reading, don't hesitate to ask someone who does know how for help.
If you haven't been to your local library lately, get there!

Have a great week and the Sunday Funnies will return next weekend.—AtP.

JULY 4, 2018

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EDITORIAL.

Dear Readers:

Today is America’s 242 birthday.

Like any country, the United States has had its share of growing pains. Ups and downs, prosperity and poverty, etc.

One must acknowledge that there has been a lot of commentary made about America since January 20, 2017. Good and bad, from friends and enemies alike.

Yet I would just like to take a moment to humbly remind everyone that, regardless of the specifics involved in any given situation, the actions of some do not always represent beliefs of everybody.

Sincerely,
Lee Houston, Junior
Editor-In-Chief of The Free Choice E-zine
July 4, 2018


THE ABOVE WAS AN EDITORIAL.

Sunday, July 1, 2018

WELCOME TO OUR NEW LOOK!

DON'T get confused folks!
The sidebar may be on the right now, but otherwise this is STILL the same Free Choice E-zine.

It's just that Blogger is updating a lot of its features (which is why our IN OTHER NEWS gadget is still unavailable at this time), so I checked out the various backgrounds that were now available and decided upon this one.
Besides, I like the rounded corners, sharper text, and more obvious links.

As usual, feedback is always welcome either directly on a specific post (another new feature!) or at our same e-address: FreeChoiceEzine@gmail.com

Take care, and thanks for your continued support.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: MUSICAL MADNESS

I howl, therefore I sing.♫
Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here.
I still have music on my mind since my last solo outing.

Now, no matter how much musical talent you actually have, everyone can at least play the radio and carry a tune in a bucket.

But have you ever wondered about those who attempted to establish a musical career over the course of their lives, but unfortunately failed???

Just imagine the memories those people might have...


I wanted to create a band called The Tone Deaf 6 because we played by ear.
Sadly, we couldn't hit the right notes with a bazooka and blew most of our budget on aspirin.
NOT the right way to play by ear!

I was in an 80s band called “Prevention”.
We thought we were better than The Cure.

I bought a wooden whistle but it wooden whistle, so I bought a steel whistle but it steel wooden whistle.
I then bought a lead whistle but it steel wooden lead me whistle.

If I had succeed in being a rapper, my stage rap name would have been Gershwin, and I'd distribute my music exclusively on compact disks with blue cover art, because then they would be 'Gershwin's rap CDs in blue.'

I gave up on trying to establish a musical career and am starting a new restaurant that serves curry poured over french fries. It's called "Curry On My Wayward Spud." And yes, there'll be peas when you are done.

Well folks, that's about all the space and jokes I have for this weekend.
So until Jimmy Buffet finally finds his lost shaker of salt, have a great week and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.
