COMMON BONDS

The items in each subset below have something in common. Do you know what it is?

01. {Prince, Paul McCarthy} and we know they’re both musicians.

02. {Terry McGinnis, Eric Matthews}

REBUS

Something familiar is represented in the image below. Do you know what it is?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the September 23, 2023 Puzzle Corner.

THE 50/50 CHANCE

Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question except there are only two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

TRUE or FALSE: Eggcorn is edible.

FALSE! Eggcorn is actually a word or phrase that is a seemingly logical alteration of another word or phrase that sounds similar but has been misheard or misinterpreted. Like “Old Wise Tale” instead of “Old Wives’ Tale”.

QUOTE THIS

A famous quote is below. All you have to do is name the speaker and the source. Ready?

“A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.”

Dr. Boyce of Star Trek, as played by John Hoyt in either the original pilot “The Cage” or its two part presentation during “The Menagerie” in the first season of The Original Series.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: SPICING THINGS UP

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here.

For better or worse the Summer season is officially over and Fall is in the air so brace yourself!

Pumpkin Spice Season is upon us, based upon all the ads I've seen on TV when my people have the set on.

There's always at least one commercial every break for Pumpkin Spice This and Pumpkin Spice That.

But do you really need stuff like Pumpkin Spice Soap On A Rope or Pumpkin Spice Unleaded Gasoline???🙀

After all, Pumpkin was never a member of the Spice Girls.

In any event, guess what the theme for today's jokes is. Ready?

When you slip on a pumpkin, does it catch you off gourd?

What is Pumpkin Spice's favorite sport?

It's Pumpkin Pi!😼

Squash.

What’s black, white, orange, and waddles?

A penguin carrying pumpkin spice.🐧

Is a pumpkin's favorite movie Pulp Fiction?

What did the Pumpkin Spice say to the Green Pepper?

"You look a little sick."

Do love sick pumpkins enjoy a mushy romance?

What happens to a pumpkin's record collection after they get spiced?

Is there even a market for vine-yl albums any more?

How do you cure someone with a pumpkin spice addiction?

Apply the pumpkin patch.

What happens when you have too much pumpkin spice?

You’ll get autumn’y ache.

Although there are some people who claim there is no such thing as too much pumpkin spice.

In any event...

Orange you pumped up for Autumn?

But (un)fortunately nothing lasts forever.

Soon the era of Pumpkin🎃 will fall and the North winds will herald the cold season ahead and whisper “Peppermint everything!”

MINTER is coming!

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.
