SUNDAY FUNNIES: IT'S SUNDAE! (2024 edition)

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!

Believe it or not, today is ICE CREAM DAY!🍦🍨

Have you ever had a Sundae on a Sunday?

In any event, it's time to serve up some delicious jokes. Ready?

Do Ice Cream makers learn their craft in Sundae School?

Is it true some people only take up jogging because the ice cream truck doesn't stop for them?

If ice cream is ever banned, you can always have that dumb law declared un-cone-stitutional!

“Hey, Ernie would you like some ice cream?”

“Sure, Bert.”

You'll never see ice cream play tennis because they soft serve.

Did the reporter cover ice cream news because he was hoping for a scoop?

If the ice cream couple had a baby, would that make the father a popsicle?

Should ice cream carry an umbrella with them in case of sprinkles?

If you eat ice cream out of the container, do the calories still count?

After all, since there is no dirty dish, you didn't have an actual serving.

Of course, except for the missing ice cream and the dirty spoon, there's no proof you ate it.😼

Let's hope the ice cream trucks don't break down on rocky roads.

And by the way, they make special varieties that are safe for pets. HINT HINT!😸

So on that note♫ have a great week!

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

And please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.
