SUNDAY FUNNIES: SUNDAE-ZED

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!

Did you know that today is National Ice Cream Day🍦 here in the United States?

There is a global Ice Cream Day later this year but in any event, it's not recommended to let any animal—especially cats and dogs—have any because long term exposure will cause us tummy troubles.

So then why do people eat so much of it? 😾

Yet that doesn't stop me from making it the theme of today's jokes.

Ready?

Is Sundae School where you learn to make ice cream?🍨

After all, I've never seen an ice cream tree or anyone ever plant ice cream seeds.

Thankfully there will never be a law against ice cream because humans would get it ruled un-cone-stitutional.😼

When ice cream gets hot and angry, does it have a meltdown?

If you want to hear the latest gossip, ice cream usually has the inside scoop.

Ice cream can't play tennis🎾 because it has a soft serve.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana. 🍌

Banana who?
Banana split so I screamed.

If you've already had ice cream once today, does another make it your second dairy?

What is ice cream's favorite TV show?
Game of Cones.🍦🍦🍦

Why does ice cream always carry an umbrella?🌂

In case of sprinkles.

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sundae, I mean Sunday Funnies!—PDK.

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

♫Oh see the U.S.A. in a Chev-ro-let...♫ began a post World War 2 sales jingle to promote Interstate traveling in hopes of selling more cars.

But while traveling the highways and bi-ways of the land, long before a gallon of gas started costing as much as a Sunday newspaper, can you imagine some of the unique towns one encountered along the way...

And as usual, my comments are in italics.
