SUNDAY FUNNIES: DIGGING UP ANIMAL JOKES

Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!

Surprised to see me? Well, INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY😸 is next week, with INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY later in August (hey, it's alphabetical, not in order of importance 😉) so we needed to change things around a bit. Otherwise Piper D. Katt would be going to the dogs while I hosted CAT DAY, which we didn't think would go over well with too many people.

In any event, let's see what jokes I can dig up for today. Ready?

A horse🐴 walks into a bar.
The bartender shouts, “Hey!”
The horse replies, “You read my mind.”

One of my people had to throw away a brand new box of animal crackers.
It said on the box, “Don’t eat if the seal is broken.”
Sure enough. They discovered that one of the seals inside wasn't in one piece.

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

Do Polar Bears keep their money in snow banks?

Fish🐟🐠🐟 allegedly get good grades because they're always in school.
Yet, what about the ones below sea (C) level?

What do you call a walrus in the desert?
Lost.

Penguins🐧🐧 must go to a lot of formal events because they're always wearing tuxedos.

What do snails🐌🐌 say when riding on a turtle's🐢 back?
"WHEE!"

If a frog's🐸 car breaks down in the forest, does it get toad?

Now that I am a bird🐦 watcher, my life is looking up.
So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!😷
Have a great week and please be back next weekend when Piper D. Katt celebrates INTERNATIONAL CAT😸 DAY on The Sunday Funnies!—KC.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: NATURAL HUMOR

 Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!

Some people are overawed by nature.
Others go out of their way to help preserve and take care of the outside world because otherwise, there might not be a habitable planet left for future generations.
Me? I love nature as much as the next dog.
The chance to go for walks. Stop and smell stuff.
You get the idea.
But for those of you out there who don't think twice about Nature, just be careful.
You know how Mothers can get when you hurt their children.

Understanding intimidation is when you hear a lone mosquito in a dark room.

Some people think grass don’t get wet in the morning, but it dew.

If it's hot outside, then it's Summer, not "Unsticking Yourself From Plastic Chairs" season.

A man who lived in the city his entire life finally took a trip to the country.
He was shown cows🐄🐮 and wondered "Do we get chocolate milk from the brown ones?"

What did the big flower say to the little flower?
"Hey there, bud."

I once saw a bee hive without an exit.
Yeah, I know. How un-bee-leave-able.

A parent was explaining to their child “Sharks🦈🦈 like chewing on undersea internet cables, so everyone wraps them with Kevlar!!”
The kid thought about it for a moment and asked, “How do you wrap sharks with Kevlar?”

I personally will never understand humans.
You say you love the rain but you open your umbrella.☔
You say you love the sun but you find a shadowy spot.
You say you love the wind but you close the windows.
Me? I take it as it comes because I don't have a choice in the matter but you do.
I really hate to tell you folks this but Climate Change is real!
It's weather or not you can live with the consequences of your actions that will decide the future.
What happens next is on your paws.

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: SUNDAE-ZED

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
Did you know that today is National Ice Cream Day🍦 here in the United States?
There is a global Ice Cream Day later this year but in any event, it's not recommended to let any animal—especially cats and dogs—have any because long term exposure will cause us tummy troubles.
So then why do people eat so much of it? 😾
Yet that doesn't stop me from making it the theme of today's jokes.
Ready?

Is Sundae School where you learn to make ice cream?🍨
After all, I've never seen an ice cream tree or anyone ever plant ice cream seeds.

Thankfully there will never be a law against ice cream because humans would get it ruled un-cone-stitutional.😼

When ice cream gets hot and angry, does it have a meltdown?

If you want to hear the latest gossip, ice cream usually has the inside scoop.

Ice cream can't play tennis🎾 because it has a soft serve.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Banana. 🍌
Banana who?
Banana split so I screamed.

If you've already had ice cream once today, does another make it your second dairy?

What is ice cream's favorite TV show?
Game of Cones.🍦🍦🍦

Why does ice cream always carry an umbrella?🌂
In case of sprinkles.

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