SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY THOUGHTS (misc. jokes)

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
I wish the weather would make up its mind. Provided it has one to make up.
This time last week it was starting to warm up for the latest heatwave.
This weekend we're waiting for rain to arrive, heralding a cold front that will keep things nice and comfortable until the next heat wave arrives just in time for the forthcoming weekend!
Isn't climate change wonderful, the cat asks very sarcastically.
In any event I'm just going to sit here and, with apologies to Douglas Adams, ponder the meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything.
Or in other words: it's joke time!

Can you name a sport that starts with a "T"?
GOLF.🏌
Hmm, I wonder if they serve tea🫖 on British golf courses?
"That was a tough hole mate. Fancy going into the clubhouse for a cuppa before we continue?"
That last line works a lot better with a British accent but since this is in print, please do the best you can.
Yet if the concept of being the best golfer is hitting the ball the least amount of times, why don't they just stop playing?

Being a cat I am absolutely purrfect, though my friends say I should work more on my humility.
I have no idea why.
Then again, I don't have any bad habits.
I'm good at all of them.😼

I believe a lot of conflicts in the Old West could have been avoided if cowboy🤠 architects just made their towns big enough for everyone.

All you humans are worried about Artificial Intelligence and your smart phones📱, computers💻, televisions📺 and other electronic devices spying on you but forget that your vacuum cleaner has been gathering dirt on you for years!

When you reach the end of omelet making class, is it time for the final eggs ham?

When you're in the kitchen cooking, remember: Hamburger Helper only works if the hamburger is willing to admit it needs help.

So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.
42?

Editor-In-Chief's Note: No baby dragons were harmed or stressed out, comedicly or otherwise, in the making of this post.
The 1300 celebration is based only upon our Blogger history.
While The Free Choice E-zine has been in existence longer than we have been here, all our previous posts were lost when our last server/host suddenly went out of business, wiping out our archives in the process with no advance warning or chance to save any of the old material.--lh,jr.
