⌚TRIVIA TIME

NOVEMBER 11, 2019

Armistice Day.

Remembrance Day.
Veterans Day.

Whatever you care to call it, please take a moment to stop and remember the brave men and women who selfishly stood up and protected your freedoms and liberties in the past, let alone those doing so now and the ones from generations yet to come.

Freedom is never truly free, yet it is much too valuable to lose or ever take for granted.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: MISC (jokes) FOR THE MILITARY

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

Today is Veterans' Day, but that is too serious a subject to joke about; for those brave men and women of the past, present, and future have done all they can to help protect freedom and their country long before I was hatched.

Instead, let's have some fun! 😀

If you wish to be big, don't belittle others.

Honor the Veterans!

I feel sorry for people who grew up before smart phones.
All they had to amuse themselves was reality.

When your past calls, don't answer it.📵
It has nothing new to say.

The Tomato🍅 Family went for a walk.
The baby started lagging behind and the Father Tomato yelled "KETCHUP!"

I went for a walk in a corn field and got lost in the maize.

Everyone knows 6 was afraid of 7 because 7 8 9, but why did 7 eat 9?
Because you are supposed to eat 3 square meals a day.
(3 times 3 is 9, and if you have to explain a joke...)

A lone sharpie lid is 1 of the most terrifying things a parent can find.

I am a perfectionist with procrastinator complex, yet someday I will do something awesome!

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: PEOPLE VS. DRAGONS

Tip your wings to a Vet!

Hello Everybody! Ms. Waxy Dragon here.
Today is Veterans' Day, and I'm sure a lot of you will be out celebrating your freedoms and the soldiers who helped preserve or earned them for you.
If not: SHAME ON YOU!
But considering that there is absolutely nothing funny about Veterans, and this is the Sunday Funnies, instead I will be exploring the difference between Dragons and People.
And I mean stuff more serious besides that old, dumb joke that people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Talk about mid-evil ways!

In any event, when you're out to eat, why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET drink? If you're on a diet, you shouldn't be having the burgers and fries to begin with. Send them to me! Dragons are always hungry and hardly ever gain weight. We use the excess fats to keep our pilot lights fueled so we can breathe fire.
Of course, being a baby dragon, the best I can do right now is just melt a few crayons as if they've been exposed to a heat source too long, but that's besides the point.

Why do people leave their bank vault doors open during the day, but keep the pens chained to the desks? Besides the fact that an open cookie jar will always attract a hungry thief (not that I know anything about that

 ),

but what did those poor pens do to deserve such punishment to begin with?

Why do you keep your cars out in the driveway and store junk in your garages?
Of course, there's also that whole bit about why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway to begin with.

I'm sure there are plenty of good things about being a people. After all, when you get sick, I bet your doctor doesn't stick the thermometer where the sun doesn't shine!

In any event, please remember the Veterans' today, have a great week, and please be back here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!-wd.
