SUNDAY FUNNIES: GARDEN GRIPES

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

Now, like most young children, this baby companion dragon is NOT having a good time during this pandemic.😷
Dragon School is only online. I can't see my friends unless we telecommute. Bubblehead, the human I live with, won't tell me where he's hidden the Belgosian Dark Chocolate🍫 this time.
You get the idea.

Anyway, I know all the doctors and scientists around the world are doing what they can to fight this COVID-19 virus and eventually find a vaccine, let alone a cure, but I've got to tell you one thing right now.

Waxy's drawing of Bubblehead

It better NOT involve Brussel Sprouts!🚫

Let's be honest with each other here folks. I'm basically a kid, that's a vegetable, and what kid likes vegetables?

In any event, it was a long time to reach this point, but here are some vegetable jokes for a nice change of pace.

Why did the grape🍇 stop in the middle of the road?
Because he ran out of juice.

What vegetables are a sailor's worst enemy?
Leeks!

Why did the tomato🍅 blush?
Because he saw the salad dressing. 😉

Why aren’t bananas🍌 ever lonely?
Because they hang out in bunches!

Why do potatoes🥔 always argue with each other?
Because they can never see eye to eye.

Do salads🥗 win awards when they go above and beyond the kale of duty?

You know. I just realized something.
I've got TWO green thumbs!🖒
Maybe I should try my paws at gardening.
Does anyone know where I can find bacon, candy, and chocolate seeds?

And on that note♫, take care everybody!
STAY SAFE!😷
And please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: WHAT A YEAR, SO FAR!

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
Right now, I honestly don't know where to begin because I’m getting tired of being part of some major historical events.
Let's face facts. The pandemic, George Floyd and all of the race/social/police issues involved...
It's like waking up to find you've been cast in a major motion picture, only to discover it's an action/adventure disaster movie and you have to do all of your own stunts!
But hey, it's Sunday. I'm supposed to be funny, so let's see what jokes I can dig up for you folks today...

Don't you wish at least 2020, if not every year, came with options?
Like Select Level Of Difficulty:
{easy} {medium} {hard} {are you kidding?} {WTF?} {Forget it!}

This year has been like looking both ways before crossing a road and getting hit by an airplane!✈
Makes you wonder how that dang chicken ever accomplished it! 🐔

The best advise my people got from their doctor was when he said, "I’m prescribing an exercise program for your depression. Stand up. Walk across the room. Turn off the news. Repeat daily." 😉

My owner is busy washing a load of pajamas right now so he has something to wear when he telecommutes to work this week.

Just think of about it folks.
Gas prices are falling toward a dollar a gallon now. Restaurants are all Drive Through/Take Out only at the moment, and everyone has shaggy hair.
Welcome to the 1970s.
Where's my mood ring?

And on that note♫, before we part company, I'd like to paws pause and share a special song with everyone. The video is courtesy of YouTube, with The Free Choice E-zine only sharing the reference.
From 1968, it's ♫Everyday People♫ by Sly and the Family Stone.

Take care everyone!
STAY SAFE!
And please be back here again next Sunday when Waxy Dragon joins me in our annual salute to Father's Day. Until then... PEACE!
AtP.
