SUNDAY FUNNIES: HALLOWEEN HI-JINKS 2022

Piper?
Koda?
















HELLO EVERYBODY!
As you can see, you have both Piper D. Katt AND Koda Canine here today as we get ready to celebrate Halloween 🎃 tomorrow night!

Trick or treat. Smell my paws.
Give me something good and safe to eat.
Wait a second. That doesn't rhyme.

In any event. It's Halloween Joke time! Ready?
You betcha. Let's go!
Err... go where?
To the jokes. Where else?

I threw a boomerang at a ghost👻 the other day but knew it would come back to haunt me. 

In the military, are the Kernels in charge of the Candy Corn on Halloween?

I want to be something really scary for Halloween this year so I'm dressing up as a phone battery at 2%.

I've won first place in the Halloween costume contest 16 years in a row. This year I'm dressing up as a hotdog🌭 because I'm on a roll.

My daughter wants to be something really scary this Halloween so she's going as a newspaper's headlines.

I remember when Halloween was the scariest night of the year.
Now it's Election night.

Why do stores have Halloween decorations in August?
That's ridiculous. Nobody wants to... Oooo look! Candy corn.
But if you try looking for Halloween stuff in October they already have their Christmas🎄 promotions going!

Why did the ghost👻 go to the jazz bar?
For the Boos.

A local farmer thought his chicken🐔 coop was haunted and called an eggsocist.🥚🐣

So on that note♫, we hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!👻🎃
Take care.
STAY SAFE! 😷
And one of us will be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!PDK and KC.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: CAN YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!

Boy, life can be rough sometimes. Or should that be ruff?
What's on top of a house? Ruth, or should that be Roof?

Word play can be fun. Granted it's more mental than physical exercise, but I like to be an active dog in both body and mind.
So let's see what other punny jokes I can dig up.
Ready?

You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

A girl said she recognized me from the Vegetarians Club, but I'd swear I've never met herbivore.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.

I got some batteries🔋🔋🔋 that were given out free of charge.

A bicycle🚲 can't stand alone because it's just two tired.

Isn't the point of Acupuncture to be a jab well done?

I stayed up all night to see where the sun🌞 went, and then it dawned on me.🌅

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity and just can't put it down.

Do those that have kleptomania take something for it?

I hear pie eating contests are fun, but don't enter a Pi 𝛑 eating contest because it will never end!

So on that note♫ take care.
STAY SAFE! 😷
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!KC.
