SUNDAY FUNNIES: CATTY CELEBRITY CITINGS: OCTOBER 2025

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here.

Important announcement at the end but right now it's time for meow's CATTY CELEBRITY CITINGS!

As usual, a quote from an actual celebrity past or present will be followed by a (hopefully) witty remark by yours truly.

Ready?

"Humans invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would construct a mouse trap".~~ Famous Theoretical Physicist Albert Einstein.

Maybe so Albert, but thankfully mice🐁🐭 are still dumb enough to get caught.

Except for the animated ones. My celluloid cat cousins never seem to have any luck with Jerry, Mickey, Mighty and the rest.

"Our anxiety comes not from the future. It comes from wanting to control it."~~Author Khatil Gibran.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Otherwise, I'll take a new cat bed and unlimited supplies of cat food and fresh kitty litter.

"One common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely fool proof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."~~Hitchhiking author Douglas Adams.

I hear humans are working on artificial intelligence.

Shouldn't they try to improve natural intelligence first?

"Every storm runs out of rain."~~Poet Maya Angelou.

True, but how long before it stops?

"If I ever achieve humility, I will be proud of it."~~Famous author Mark Twain.

I already am of mine.😼

"Reason obeys itself. Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it."~~American Revolutionary Thomas Paine.

"I think, therefore I am."~~Philosopher Rene Descartes.

"`Nuff said."~~Stan Lee, founder of Marvel Comics.

So on that note♫, Koda Canine will be doing his Weekend Pupdate next weekend because we'll be teaming up at the end of October for our annual Halloween Hijinks.🎃

Otherwise, take care.

STAY SAFE!

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

Equal parts. = Fair share.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Two separate items share at least one word, and so can be combined to create something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what the new thing is?

Dr. Mark Sloan meets Jessica Fletcher. = Diagnosis Murder, She Wrote.

TRUMP HAS FAILED AMERICA! (an editorial)

 The following is an editorial.

Folks, let's be totally honest with each other here.

"PRESIDENT" DONALD TRUMP HAS FAILED AMERICA!

There is no denying that his (in)actions and erroneous beliefs on behalf of the United States against the COVID-19 pandemic facing the world have contributed to over 7.6 MILLION infected Americans, including Trump himself!

While there still would have been lives lost to this disease, the death toll would not be over 212,000 people in this country as of October 12 if Trump, let alone those under him, took this medical threat seriously when first advised of it back in January 2020.

Do we even need to to discuss other matters under the Trump "Administration", like:

Racial Unrest

Social Inequality

Health Care

His Unneeded Border Wall (which Mexico did NOT pay for!)

Separating Families and Putting Children In Jail Cells

The Next Supreme Court Justice...

Trump was even officially impeached over collusion charges against a foreign country and only a Senate controlled by his fellow Republicans saved him from being ousted from office or worse.

The fact that George W. Bush, the only previous Republican President still living, won't endorse the current regime is telling in and of itself.

You, me, America, the world cannot afford another day—let alone 4 more years—of this man, his cronies, and their so called "policies" that only favor a select few instead of everyone.

THAT is why The Free Choice E-zine is urging you to not only vote in this upcoming election

But to vote Democratic

And especially for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next President and Vice President, respectively.

Despite all the rhetoric and hype, the only people truly "better" off than they were four years ago are the Republicans in power and their chosen friends/allies.

PLEASE!

Do the right thing and not only protect this country's future, but your own as well!

The fate of America, let alone the world, is in your hands.

November 3-GO VOTE!

And VOTE DEMOCRATICLY!

Thank you.

The above was an editorial.

We’ll reveal all next weekend, but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the October 5, 2019 Puzzle Corner.

RHYME TIME

Extra glasses = Spare pair. 👓👓

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: TRACKING CARS (car jokes)

"I have a license, why can't I drive?"

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here.
In my ongoing observations of life from the canine perspective, there are plenty of obvious facts.
For example: there are certainly a lot of cars in the world! In fact, it's said the United States of America has more vehicles than the rest of the planet combined.
Now, I don't know how accurate that is, because I'm certainly not going to waste my time trying to count them all.
I'm a wise enough canine to know not to go chasing them either, because if it comes down to a fight between a dog and a car, the dog always loses.
I certainly want to live a rich, full life and not end up as road pizza somewhere.
Anyway, this long segue way is leading into a bunch of car themed jokes.
Ready?

Would a book about the car industry be an auto biography?

Then again, would a book about sales in the car industry be an auto buyography?

Why do people drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

Why do they call it rush hour when hardly anything moves?

A fancy Ferrari

What car has the same name forward or backward?

Race car.

Some people seem to think that the hazard light is a signal that allows them to park wherever they like. Fire lanes, in front of store entrances, bus stops, you name it.

Those drivers are taking an awfully big chance considering most of that stuff is much bigger than their vehicles and they're running the risk of a serious ticket if caught by the police.

Once day I was in the back seat of the family car when one of my people was teaching their child how to unbuckle the seat belt.

"Do I click the square?" asked the kid.

My person said yes.

Then the kid asked, "Single click or double click?"

They start learning computers younger and younger these days!

The policeman arrived at the scene of the accident and found that a car struck a telephone pole. Searching for a witness, he found a pale, nervous young man in work clothes who said he was an eyewitness.

"Exactly where were you at the time of the accident?" asked the policeman.

"Sir," exclaimed the telephone lineman, "I was at the top of the pole!"

Futuristic Astrid

How did the man get a flat tire at the intersection?

He drove over the fork in the road.

What did the tire jack say to the car?

“Need a lift?”

What did one car muffler say to the other muffler?

“I’m exhausted.”

Okay, I think I've gotten enough mileage out of this routine.
Have a great week everybody, and please join us again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!--AtP.

THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 12, 2013

Greetings! Another weekend is upon us, so here is a fresh crop of puzzles for your enjoyment.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate items have at least one word in common, allowing them to be combined to form a new item. Based upon the clue below, do you know what it is?

The story of a historic figure of the Revolutionary War in America, written by that person's famous grand-nephew over a century later.

NEXT?
It's been quite a while since we've played this. A sequence is started below. Do you know what the next item within it would be?

Under, Hand, Shake,      ?    

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of our baseball themed Puzzle Corner from October 5, 2013.

FAMOUS FIRSTS
The first team to win two World Series titles in the 21st century is the Boston Red Sox (2004 and 2007)

TRIVIA TIME
Everyone (presumably) knows the classic Bud Abbot and Lou Costello baseball routine "Who's On First?", but do you remember the actual team roster?
We started you out, but it was up to you to complete the list.
While the set up for the routine changed with each telling to keep the sketch fresh, the roster always remained constant.

FIRST BASE: WHO
SECOND BASE: What
THIRD BASE: I don't know
LEFT FIELD: Why
CENTER FIELD: Because
PITCHER: Tomorrow
CATCHER: Today
SHORT STOP: I don't care (the last punch line in the routine)
And the Right Fielder was NEVER named!

But now, courtesy of You Tube, here's Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, performing the rendition of "Who's On First?" that was part of The Actor's Home episode from their television series in 1953.
