SUNDAY FUNNIES: TIMELY JOKES

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
First and foremost, I hope everyone in America remembered to set their clocks back one hour, since Daylight Saving Time ended today.
After all, you certainly don't want to be an hour late to wherever you have to be next, do you?😉
Yeah, I can imagine a lot of kids commenting about school and a lot of adults replying about work right now, but the question was rhetorical.
And it isn't my fault if you haven't studied rhetoricals (yet).

"Too much time on my hands?"

Anyway, in keeping with the moment...

What time is it when the clock strikes 13?
Time to get the clock fixed!

I know there is such a thing as a grandfather's clock, but what happened to the grandmother's clock, let alone the rest of the Clock family?

Would a clock not inside anything be a time out?

Is a tense clock all wound up?

♫Rock Around The Clock♫

Is an annoyed clock ticked off?

What did the second hand say to the hour hand when it passed by?
"See you in a minute."

Why did the clock's pendulum stop moving?
It lost its swing.

Why did the man sit on his wristwatch?⌚
He wanted to be on time.

Do ducks wake up at the quack of dawn?⏰

If a clock is still hungry after the meal, does it go back four seconds?
And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: "SIGN, SIGN. EVERYWHERE A SIGN"

Dog at work!

Hello Everybody. Autumn the Puppy here.
First off, a couple of bits of business before we get to this weekend's humor.
For those who were observing Daylight Saving Time, I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks back one hour before you got up this morning. Otherwise, you'll be an hour ahead everywhere you go. Then again, maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.

This week was next week last week?

Secondly, my heart goes out to everyone who got caught in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. I hope you and yours are all right and remember this. Maybe everything that was lost cannot be rebuilt or replaced, but you will always have the memories.

Now then, a rather short, but funny bit this weekend. While surfing the Internet, I found images of some funny road signs that I would like to share with everyone.

Now then, considering your options in the image on the left, I'm surprised anyone actually got to that point to begin with!

Speaking of directions, I'm sure plenty of people are following the directions in the right hand image at the moment.

While accurate, I think this sign just proves that someone didn't order enough concrete when making the new sidewalk.

Somebody was feeling really ironic when they made these signs on the right.

In any event, I hope everybody remembers to GO VOTE TUESDAY!
Have a great week and please be back here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies! -AtP
