TRIVIA TIME⌚

What is the name of the Trix Cereal rabbit mascot?

The company that makes Trix Cereal has NEVER given the rabbit a formal name!

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 Trix Cereal rabbit has never gotten to eat a bowl of Trix Cereal.

FALSE! Believe it or not, that rabbit HAS had a bowl of Trix. TWICE!

As a result of ad campaigns concurrent with the 1976 and 1980 Presidential elections, kids got to vote on the issue of whether or not to grant the rabbit a bowl of Trix.

After winning in 1976, the rabbit greedily gulped down his bowl, but was then told any more bowls were depended upon the results of the next election, with the rabbit resuming his ongoing quest to acquire more the way he had in previous commercials up to that point in time.

But in 1980, the children of the day were nice enough to reward the rabbit with a second bowl of cereal.

However the issue has yet to come up for another vote, and the rabbit has been unsuccessful in every advertisement since to acquire more.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: LEGAL LAUGHS

 Hello Folks. Autumn the Puppy here!

Neither rain, sleet, nor Hurricane/Tropical Storm Henri shall keep me from entertaining everyone during my turn each Sunday, provided I've got the electricity and computer access to do so.

So while both are still currently available, let's look at the legal profession.

Ready?

Why do sharks🦈🦈🦈 not eat lawyers?

Professional courtesy.

ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?

WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I Cathy?'

ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?

WITNESS: My name is Susan!

  

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

WITNESS: He's 20, very close to your IQ.

ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?

WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?

WITNESS: By death.

ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?

WITNESS: Take a guess.

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM.

ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?

WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.

Do all lawyers work for the firm of Dewey, Cheatum, Reily, Bigge, and Howe?

A professional juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police.

"What are you doing with these matches and lighter fluid in your car?" asked the police officer.

"I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."

"Oh yeah? Let's see you do it," said the officer.

So the juggler gets out and started juggling the blazing torches masterfully.

A couple driving by slows down to watch.

"Wow," said the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

And on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!😷🌌

And please be back with us next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.
