SUNDAY FUNNIES: FUTURE PREDICTIONS?

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
WOW! I've got to tell you people, the weather in my neck of the woods (and I've never figured out where the rest of the woods' body is, so don't ask me) has been BEAUTIFUL the last couple of days!
It's like Spring finally arrived and is trying to make up for lost time.
2020 has been a pretty rough year for all of us with this dang pandemic, so isn't it nice to have something go our way for a change?😁

Anyway I'm just out in the backyard by my doghouse, lying under my favorite tree🌲 enjoying the warm sun🌞 on my fur.😎
Right now it's still safer to stay home than risk going out if you don't have to.
Hopefully things will improve in time to whatever develops as the new "normal", yet you have to wonder just what that might be. So just pull up a virtual lawn chair and I'll share my thoughts on stuff you probably won't see this year.

I'll be totally surprised if anyone toilet papers🧻 a house as a prank this Halloween.👻

Something you'll never see on Sesame Street.
"The year 2020 is brought to you by the letters


"






Here's one unemployment application you'll probably never see.
Job title: Burglar.
Reason for layoff: Everybody is home.

I noticed a lot of people are not posting selfies since the beauty salons closed.😉

I seriously doubt we will ever see some big business lay off executives in a cost cutting measure.

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

MEMORIAL DAY 2020

The following is an editorial.

Remember the fallen. Past, present, and future.
There is a lot going on in the world right now, especially concerning the current COVID-19/Coronavirus Crisis.
Yet while in many ways life has been pretty much paused for everyone, time goes on.

Today is Memorial Day here in the United States.
The last Monday of every May is set aside to remember those who have served within America's various military branches, especially those who gave their lives defending this country to protect the freedoms and civil liberties that everyone has.
Other countries around the world have similar practices and policies. This is just America's turn.

Alas there have always been wars and rumors of wars.
One should always hope for a peaceful resolution to any conflict.
Yet we must also be realistic that that option is not always available to us.
When there is absolutely no other alternative, we should be glad that there are those willing to fight and, if necessary, lay down their lives so that others might continue to live and be free.

Unfortunately the current pandemic cannot be fought with military might.
It requires a different kind of courage, wisdom, and strength. A call that many have already answered.
Yet it has claimed plenty of lives too. Innocent victims as well as those on the "front lines" fighting the disease.
I cannot say when, but there will be victory in this battle too.
Until then, STAY SAFE!

SUNDAY FUNNIES: MEMORIAL DAY MUSINGS

Hello Everybody! Free Choice E-zine Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior here since this is the Memorial Day weekend, so your regular hostesses Waxy Dragon and Autumn the Puppy are off with their respective families.

This has been quite a trying time for everyone with the {censored} pandemic, regardless of how good or bad the COVID-19/Coronavirus Crisis has been addressed and handled in your area.

Everyone is understandably doing their best to survive and we at The Free Choice are still here doing our best to entertain you each Sunday, so I better get on with it. 😉
Remember the fallen. Past, present, and future.

A joke can cover a wide variety of topics, and people too.
In fact, one person that seems to have a lot of jokes told about them is Chuck Norris, although every one I've ever heard is in regards to how tough/strong Mister Norris is.
I have absolutely no idea how this started, yet we can all use a good laugh right now.
So since he hasn't questioned any of them (to my knowledge), I'm sure Mister Norris won't mind me sharing some of them with you.

Chuck Norris and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants. Guess who won?

Chuck Norris once went skydiving and his parachute failed to open, so he took it back the next day for a refund!

When Chuck Norris works out he doesn’t get stronger, the exercise machine does.

Chuck Norris knows the last digit of pi.𝛑

Still have no idea who to accredit this funny to.
Chuck Norris can hear his phone📴 ring on silent.

Chuck Norris can draw a triangle with FOUR sides.

Chuck Norris never hides, he only seeks.

Chuck Norris doesn’t read books.📚 He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

They say that time⌚ waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris.

The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. You know what happened to them.

Chuck Norris was originally scheduled to appear in the ‘Street Fighter II’ video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked about this “glitch,” Chuck Norris replied, “That’s no glitch.”

And on that note♫, I hope everyone has a good week.
Please remember what the holiday tomorrow is actually for.
STAY SAFE! And please be back again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—lh,jr.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: THE PANDEMIC PAUSE CONTINUES

Waxy, a dragon
Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!
I'm sure you're as unhappy with the Pandemic Pause as I am, but for the time being I will continue to only do inside jokes.
My condolences to those in quarantine with a loud person.
You thought dogs were hard to train?
Look at all the humans that can’t sit and stay.
Some places have tried various attempts at reopening, with the only real accomplishment being to create more cases.😷

I may be just a baby companion dragon, but I do understand and can relate to the concepts of being cooped up and stressed out, which is why Autumn the Puppy and I are trying to do the best we can to entertain you folks every Sunday as usual.
Yet stop and ask yourselves this:
What do you want more? Your health or whatever it is you wanted to buy from whatever business is closed right now?😒

Waxy's drawing of "Bubblehead".
It's not easy for us kids either.
For example, believe it or not I miss Dragon School. I still learn new things online at home but it isn't quite the same as being there, hanging out with my friends, and all the other stuff associated with what comprises my social life.

But mostly I'm worried about "Bubblehead", my nickname for the human I'm stuck live with.
He told me the other day "I’m coming out of quarantine either 100 pounds heavier or 50 pounds lighter."
Considering I still haven't found where he's hiding the Belgosian Dark Chocolate🍫, I think we'll both be a little lighter when all this is over.

He ran out of toilet paper and started using lettuce leaves.
Today was the tip of the iceberg.

Bubblehead does go grocery shopping hunting at least once a week.
He gets up before the crack of dawn to be in line at the store when they open.
I'm just now getting up for the day when he gets home, but I still love him.
I help him put all the food away, and eat it too.😉

Life may be on hold, but you ARE still alive!
I'm not exactly sure what Bubblehead does for a living but he's been working from home a lot since this all began.
Then again, sometimes he complains about having to work at work, so I don't think I'll ever completely understand humans.
I will admit that it's a little uncomfortable having him constantly underfoot paw, but at least I know he's safe.💖

Occasionally I wonder if he'll ever go out and find himself a "Mrs. Bubblehead".
I can just picture the personal ad now...
"Single man with toilet paper would like to meet single woman with hand sanitizer for some good clean fun."

There was an interesting ad in the personals (hey, when you've read the whole paper, what else is left?) the other day. It said:
Dear Life:
When I asked “Can this get any worse?” That was a rhetorical question, not a challenge.

I know things will get better in time. Hopefully everyone will be patient enough for it to do so.
Meanwhile, may your troubles be less and your blessings more and may nothing but happiness come through your door.
Take care. Have a great week. STAY SAFE! And please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!wd.
