SUNDAY FUNNIES: HALLOWEEN HI-JINKS 2025

Where is everybody?
 HELLO EVERYBODY!

Today you have both Piper D. Katt AND Koda Canine here as we celebrate HalloweenπŸŽƒ a little early with this week's installment of The Sunday Funnies considering that Halloween isn't until this Friday.

That's right Piper. I'm not exactly sure where we are at the moment considering you wanted the lights off for an authentic Halloween experience, but it's joke time.
Ready?

What do you call a magician who lost his magic?
IAN.

There is no denying that Albert Einstein was a genius.
However, his brother Frank was a monster.

Do you think that Elections should be held on Halloween so every count votes?πŸ§›

In Transylvania, Cyndi Lauper's big hit is ♫Ghouls Just Want To Have Fun.♫

Witches are bad at math but they're very good at spelling.
The only way I can be good at magic is if I use a spell check.
Moving on...

If you put holy water in a humidifier, could the room become a gas chamber for vampires?
I don't know, but batsπŸ¦‡πŸ¦‡ are just Halloween butterflies.

Hypnotists travel by public Trance-portation.

I always get confused with the difference between Elves, Pixies, Fairies, Sprites, etc.
I guess I don't understand the gnomenclature.

Where do ghosts buy their candy?
At the Ghost-ery store.

If you don’t pay an exorcist, can you be repossessed?

There are no such thing as Vampires.
Unless you Count Dracula.πŸ§›

And now, here's an actual treat we found, verified by the poster on Facebook, that was created by the legendary Adam West!
The man did have a sense of humor.

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

Piper D. Katt
Koda Canine
Oh great. Why did you turn the lights back on?
What do you mean?
I turned them off before we started today's routine.
But I never touched them.
YOU DIDN'T???


πŸ‘»HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 25, 2025

 πŸ˜ŽFUN FACT

TRICK OR TREAT!
HalloweenπŸŽƒ themed enigmas are really neat!

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



THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many new words can you make out of the letters in Halloween?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOXπŸ“¦ and discover the results from the October 18, 2025 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: The Betty Crocker icon is based upon a real person.
FALSE. Betty Crocker is totally fictitious.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate items share at least one word, and so can be combined to create something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what the new thing is?
A woman’s magazine’s original readership? = Vanity Fair Lady. (Vanity Fair, Fair Lady)

SUNDAY FUNNIES: WEEKEND PUPDATE, OCTOBER 2025

 AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR WEEKEND PUPDATE
WITH YOUR HOST KODA CANINE.

Hello Everybody!
I’m Koda Canine, and  pizzaπŸ• should always taste better than the box it came in.

Our top story...
Most bobcats are not named Bob.

In the time of rising prices, talk is cheap because supplies exceed demands.

Scientists have proven that ducksπŸ¦†πŸ¦† awaken for the day at the quack of dawn.
Why? I prefer to sleep in till around 9 each morning myself.

Psychologists say that if you’re having second thoughts about something, then you are two ahead of most people.

And now, a word from our sponsor.
Need help? Can't tell your left arm from your right foot?
Then come see us.

Now, back to what passes for the news.

Scientists are striving to create new advances in artificial intelligence.
Shouldn’t they work on trying to improve natural intelligence first?

Early winter weather forecasts from the North Pole call for reindeer.🦌🦌

Now it’s time for my editorial.
Salons have hair on the floor. Garages have oil on the floor.
Banks, what's your problem?

Turning to sports, turkeysπŸ¦ƒπŸ¦ƒ are terrible at playing baseball⚾ because they only hit fowl balls.

This just in. Police have arrested a man for selling his homing pigeon on Ebay.
For the twentieth time.

And finally: 
It has been completely dis-proven that you can stop a rhino🦏 from charging by taking away its credit card.πŸ’³
Man, I'd hate to be the one who told the rhino it had to pay cash for everything.

On that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies when I team up with Piper D. Katt for our annual HalloweenπŸŽƒ Hijinks.
For Weekend Pupdate, I’m Koda Canine.
