SUNDAY FUNNIES: ODDS AND ENDS

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

It's been a ruff time here at The Free Choice E-Zine while we waited for our esteemed Editor-In-Chief to return from the hospital.

For one thing, he's the only who had a key to the office, let alone knew the computer password!

But Lee's back and in time things will hopefully return to normal around here.

Which would be a vast improvement from how they were before Lee went to the hospital! 😉

In any event myself, Piper D. Katt and the usual Free Choice Staff (Lee, himself, and him) are all happy he's home and on the road to recovery.

Unfortunately I wasn't sure exactly when that would happen, so my presentation this week is just some jokes I've dug up in the past and haven't had a chance to use yet.

But without further adieu...

If humans complain when there is a fly in their soup, do frogs🐸 complain when there isn't one?

If you boil a funny bone, does it becomes laughing stock?

If so, is it humerus?

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

A red house is made of Red Bricks. A white house is made of White bricks

What is a green house made of?

Glass.  

I don’t always whoop, but when I do, there it is.

And on that note♫, next weekend Piper D. Katt and I will be teaming up for our annual HALLOWEEN HUMOR, which should be especially fun since October 31🎃 is actually a Sunday this year!

So until then have a great week.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

WELCOME BACK LEE!😀
And please be here next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

The clue to something is below, but no matter how long your answer is, each word within it must rhyme. Ready?

A great tire sale?

Wheel Deal or Real Wheel Deal.

Remains of the day of the jackal.

We combined two different movie titles (Remains of the Day and The Day of the Jackal) this time, but their plots wouldn't mesh to create a viable clue on their own.
