SUNDAY FUNNIES: RAINY DAY JOKES (misc jokes)

Bored puppy

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
I'm stuck inside my people's house today as it rains, and rains, and rains, and rains, and...💧
Well, you get the idea.
It's still chilly outside, but at least it's not snowing again!
Anyway, let's see what I can dig up joke wise.

When it comes to procrastination, don't even get me started.

I've never understood why overlook and oversee mean opposite things. Isn't there any proper supervision in the world today?


Some people think that butchers are disgusting, but, people who sell vegetables are grocer.

Mother: "Why are you home from school so early?
Boy: "I was the only one who could answer one specific question."
Mother: "Oh, really? What was the question?"
Boy: "Who threw the eraser at the principal?"

Never discuss infinity with a mathematician. You will never hear the end of it.

Why did the king go to the dentist?
To get his teeth crowned.

Every box of raisins is a tragic story of grapes that could have been wine.
There's no rhyme or raisin why they can't achieve grapeness.

And on that unusual note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

Son of a Son of a Sailor.

TRIVIA TIME

Parrot Heads are fans of Jimmy Buffett, who recorded Son of a Son.

Last week's Puzzle Corner was created in response to a desire to see Buffett host a Super Bowl halftime show. But then again, considering any act there only gets roughly 10 minutes to perform, that's not really doing any of them justice, is it?
