SUNDAY FUNNIES: FIVE STAR JOKES

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
It's been ages since I've done anything related to celebrities.
But let's try something a little different this time, shall we?

A businessman was complaining to the computer technician about his equipment. “I put three reams of paper into the printer, but it keeps saying ♫just can’t get enough♫"
“Here’s the problem," replied the technician. "It was stuck in Depeche Mode."
"Well, my staff calls our other printer Bob Marley because it keeps jammin’ and is Jamaican them crazy."

Where did county boy John Denver go to school?
Rocky Mountain High.

After returning from Oz, Dorothy and her dog went camping.
One night a storm came up and a strong wind blew their tent away.
“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in canvas any more."

Did you know that as a boy, Brutus’ mother often cautioned him not to run with Caesars?✀✂✁

Since no celebrity themed joke fest is complete unless one features him...
Chuck Norris is the only person capable of closing a revolving door!

Steven Spielberg was busy discussing his new action adventure about famous classical composers with Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Who do you want to play?" Spielberg asked Bruce Willis.
"I've always been a big fan of Chopin," said Bruce. "I'll play him."
"And you, Sylvester?" asked Spielberg.
"Mozart's the one for me!" said Sly.
"And what about you?" Spielberg asked Schwarzenegger.
"I'll be Bach."

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: LAZY LAFFS (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!
It's such a lazy Sunday afternoon where I'm at right now, I even went to the trouble of making up a huge TO-DO list of things that need to be done.
Now I can’t figure out who’s going to do them.
Of course, there's always joke telling. Ready?

I saw some young deer🦌 singing in the woods. I told them that if they would let me manage them and their singing career, I could make them big bucks.

Bubblehead's cellphone
What did one eye👀 say to the other?
Between you and me, something smells.👃

I was going to tell a joke about the number 288, but it was two gross.

I’ll be ill if you remove my apostrophe.

Don't you hate it when your phone is smarter than you are?

When a magician levitates two girls, it is telekinesis.
When a magician levitates two boys it is telekinephews.

I got a universal remote and thought to myself, “Now I control everything!”
You can imagine all the thoughts that were going through my head until I found out that the universal remote does NOT control the universe.
Not even remotely.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cure for everything.
Think I'll go take a nap.
And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here next weekend for our annual Easter edition of The Sunday Funnies!—wd.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: HOLY COW!

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
We all know the classic nursery rhyme accredited to Mother Goose.

Hey, diddle, diddle.
The cat🐱 and the fiddle.
The cow🐄 jumped over the moon.🌝
The little dog🐶 laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.🥄

But have you ever stopped to actually think about it?
Mother Goose certainly had one very active imagination!
As a fellow canine, I can just picture any dog laughing upon witnessing the events of the poem happening before them.
That is, when they weren't busy chasing that darn cat!

But can you just imagine a cow making any kind of jump, let alone clearing the moon?
After all, cows are certainly not that aerodynamical!
I know one thing for sure.
When it was all over, the dog would certainly joke about that night. To wit...

Why did the cow jump over the moon?
Because the farmer’s hands were cold.

What do you call a cow that doesn't jump over the moon?
Normal.

Just imagine a herd of Cows out in a field running around and practicing their leaping.
I can just hear a bull shout, “Come on ladies! If you can’t leap over these fences, how are you going to leap over the moon? You'll be an udder failure!"

Yet, what might happen if a cow was actually able to jump that far?
Does it crash into an UFO?
"I'm sorry officer," the alien says to the space cop, "but whatever that thing is just jumped out right in front of me!"

Once the cow does successfully make the leap, does it just keep sailing into outer space? That might explain how we wound up in the Milky Way galaxy.
Or would the cow land on the moon and take a long rest before making the jump back to Earth?
That would certainly explain where the man in the moon got the milk🥛 to make the green cheese🧀 the moon is allegedly made of. 😉
Of course, depending upon the bovine's travel agent, if the cow manages to book a round trip flight, how does the cow safely make reentry without burning up, or does everyone enjoy a very well done steak that night?

Then again, maybe I've just got too much time on my paws waiting for Spring to finally arrive while I'm cooped up with my people in their house.
In any event, have a good week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.
