THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: ANIMAL ANTICS (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Koda Canine back with you today for more jokes on another edition of The Sunday Funnies!

 I don't know whether or not you all have noticed this yet, but ever since Daylight Savings Time ended last weekend, the days are getting shorter because the sun is setting sooner.
Also, because the sun isn't out as long as it is in the Spring and Summer months, it's getting colder outside too.
Whether you want to call it Autumn or Fall, it's just a prelude to winter.

Thankfully I'm an indoor dog with a nice warm people house for my furever home, but some of my fellow canines and yes, even cats out there aren't so lucky.
I'm not about to attempt getting on my soap box, basically because they're all made out of cardboard nowadays and none of them would be able to support my weight, but if you can, please take care of your furry family members.

Now then, since I've been talking about my fellow animals, how about some animal themed humor?

Why do ducks🦆🦆 have feathers?
For the same reason humans wear clothes, to cover their butt quacks.

What do you call a cow🐮 that failed to jump over the moon?
Normal.

Why do hummingbirds hum?
Because they forgot the lyrics.

I was walking in the jungle and saw a lizard🦎 on his hind legs telling jokes. I turned to a local tribesman and said, "That lizard is funny."
He replied, "That is not a lizard. That is a stand up chameleon. "

I love to see chickens🐔🐔 gracefully strut and stride around and just be chickens.
They are truly poultry in  motion.

Are  there any actual ants🐜🐜 in ANTartctica?

If two horses🐎🐎 get married, do they have a bridal shower? 

What do shrimp🦐 wear in the kitchen while cooking?
A-Prawns.

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

GO VOTE! 2026 EDITION

 The following is an editorial.

Today, November 3 is a critical midterm election here within the United States of America.
If you've been following The Free Choice E-zine's The Week In Review feature every Saturday or any other news source(s) on a regular basis, then you know how the country, let alone other parts of the world currently are under the Trump/Republican regime.

Increased inflation with prices rising practically every day. Some because of tariffs imposed on countries that once experienced mutual trade deals with the United States.
Wages fixed or decreasing.
Deregulations that will have long term effects on this country, its citizens, the generations to come and possible global impacts upon the world's economy and environment.
HOPEFULLY THE PHONE NUMBER IS STILL VALID
All while Trump alienates allies, sides with Russia against the Ukraine, oversees illegal construction projects and wars...

The Republican Party has even been accused of gerrymandering voting districts and regulations in hopes of maintaining or even increasing their currently slim majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate to continue their present agenda.

But there is ONE way to legally stop this!

If you're registered and haven't already done so either by Absentee or Early Ballot, then exercise your Constitutional rights today and

GO VOTE!

SUNDAY FUNNIES: TIME ON MY PAWS

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!

For those living within the United States, Daylight Savings Time ended while most of you were asleep between last night and today.
Considering I just take catnaps on a regular basis, I was up when the switchover was scheduled to happen but I didn't notice anything unusual or spectacular.
One moment it was 2/TWO in the morning and the next it was 1/ONE again according to all the digital clocks my people have.

I'm still not quite sure what exactly you humans actually saved.
Maybe a little on your electric bills over the summer since you didn't have to turn your lights on so soon at night?
The way the current economy is, that certainly helps with budgets but it's meow's understanding that savings should earn interest.
Where is it in this case?
As far as I know, all that happened is that you folks got the hour back that you gave up this past Spring.
Shouldn't it have earned you a couple of extra minutes somewhere, if not seconds?
Even if I had another set of 9/NINE lives beyond the group I'm currently enjoying, I will never completely understand human beings within my collective lifetime!

But anyway, some of you folks will have devices that need a purrsonal touch to reset.
Just be thankful there wasn't a power outage overnight too.
Then you might have to input other data besides the new correct time like today's date, reset your password(s), the current phase of the moon, blood type, next of kin, etc.
But to help you humans out, I've included a handy dandy chart on the right that I found elsewhere on the Internet.

In any event, I sincerely hope you get all your devices reset in time.
If not, look on the bright side.
You'll be an hour early to work tomorrow. 😼

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