SUNDAY FUNNIES: THIS AND CAT (misc. jokes)

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
I would have been with you folks sooner, but I just came out of a production meeting with Koda Canine and our Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior.
The short version is there will be some exciting things coming your way in 2026.
The bad news is that with only a couple of weeks left in 2025 and the last two already booked between our annual CHRISTMAS🎄 CHEER HOLIDAY PARTY before Lee covers the end of the year while Koda and I enjoy the holidays with our respective families, unfortunately the next installments of Koda's WEEKEND PUPDATE and meow's CATTY CELEBRITY CITINGS will be in January 2026.
Hey. We did try.
If December had an extra Sunday in it this time like some of years past we would have made it.
But time waits for no one, two or four legged.
In any event, it's time for some jokes to cheer everyone up. Ready?

A friend of mine is trying to collect Beatles albums, and if you have to ask who they are, what planet have you been living on until now?
Anyway, I asked him if he needed help, but was told he already had that one.😼

What do you get when you pick a pig's🐽 nose?
Ham boogers.
I know. Snot one of my funnier ones.
Moving on...

Cymbals are not good tennis🎾 equipment because they make a terrible racket when hit with the ball.
They're not good for pickle ball either.
One of those hits the cymbal and you'll have pickle juice all over the place!

How does NASA organize a party?
They planet.

Did you hear about the farmer who bragged he had a chicken🐔 proof yard?
He claimed it was impeccaable, but the chickens soon proved him wrong.

Why couldn't the green pepper practice archery?🏹
Because it didn't habanero. (Think about it.)

And remember, even in a multi-cat household, there is no WE in cat food!
So on that note, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.—PDK.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: BEWARE THE POULTRY-GEIST!

 Hello Everybody!
The Free Choice E-zine's Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior here with you today as your regular hosts Piper D. Katt and Koda Canine finish up the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with their families.

I know the holidays are speeding past.
The big box store thinks I want to put up my Christmas tree🎄 and eat turkey🦃 while wearing my Halloween🎃 costume.
But I hope everyone who was able to celebrate had a good Thanksgiving.
It just wouldn't be the holidays without turkey, fruitcake and some mixed nuts.
But enough about my relatives.

One thing everyone has to deal with is the leftovers, and if you still have any as you read this you either didn't have much company or else a REALLY big bird.
But now as the belly aches and ghosts of Thanksgiving still haunt us, or poultry geists as I like to call them, let me raid the office joke files for some appropriately themed laughs.
Ready?

First off, some friendly advice.
Don’t always depend on experts for information.
Ask any turkey what the best stuffing is and it will say to use seeds and worms.

But can you imagine Thanksgiving from the turkey's point of view?

Turkey: “What’s for Thanksgiving dinner this year?”
Farmer: “If I told you, I’d have to kill you.”

One turkey to another: "Dude, I have a ton of online followers and they all want me over for dinner on something called Thanksgiving. But why did Farmer John just unfriend me?

What do turkeys say at Thanksgiving?
“Quack quack quack.”

Don't look at the turkey dressing. You'll make them blush.

One turkey to another: "How long are you going to dress up like a Flamingo?"🦩
"Until the leftovers are in the fridge."

Hoping to escape its fate, a turkey was at the side of the road, looking left, then right, then left then right.
Just then, a chicken🐔 comes running up in a panic. "No, don't do it. You will never live it down!!!"

Wife: “This is my first attempt at cooking turkey. When we sit down to eat, if it comes out bad, we will just get up and go out for dinner.”
She went into the kitchen and came out with the turkey.
Every member of her family was already wearing their coats.
Talk about confidence. 

Why don't turkeys play baseball⚾?
They only hit fowl balls.

Audience member: “You need to stop making Thanksgiving puns.”
Me: “Are you really expecting me to quit cold turkey?"

And finally, remember. It isn't what's on the menu but the attending company that makes a Thanksgiving special.
So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies.—lh,jr.
