SUNDAY FUNNIES: AUTUMN'S OPEN MIKE TIME

"Cat chased up tree. Dog tired!"

Hello Everyone! Autumn the Puppy here!
Today, if Waxy Dragon doesn't mind, I thought I'd try my paw at the open mike bit, where you just start telling jokes.
You know, like a late night talk show's opening monologue.
Of course, Waxy knows Mike a lot better than I do, so I hope neither of them mind.
Anyway...

Second crook looks over his shoulder and says: "Yes, no, yes, no, yes..."

The clerk replies, "That's not necessary ma'am. No self respecting crook buys peat moss."

And on that note, I wish everyone a good week, and Waxy Dragon will be back here next weekend for our annual Halloween installment of the Sunday Funnies!-AtP.
