SUNDAY FUNNIES: ANIMAL ANTICS (misc. jokes)

 Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!

It was a beautiful day weather wise, so I spent most of it outside barking at stuff, sniffing everything I could get my nose on, digging holes and just generally enjoying being a dog.

But since it isn't midnight yet, I've still got time to post this week's Sunday Funnies before it becomes Monday and I risk being in the doghouse for being late.

Ready?

Why couldn't the pig🐷 compete in Track n Field?

He pulled a ham string.

What do you get when you cross an angry sheep🐑 and an angry cow?🐮

Two animals in a Baaaad Moood.

"Don't insult an elephant. We never forget them!"

What do you get when you cross an owl🦉 with a billy goat?🐐

A hootnanny.

What do you call a pachyderm🐘 that doesn't matter?

Irrelephant.

Did you know that penguins🐧🐧 produce an oil that helps their feathers retain body heat?

That means the oily bird gets the warm.

A horse🐎 walks into a tavern.

The bartender says, "Hey."

The horse replies, "Sure."

Soon on the BBC Farm Channel. 

What do you get when you cross a 747 with a Kangaroo?🦘

A plane that makes short hops.

A sleeping cow is not a bulldozer.

Did you know that the one dinosaur that survived the Ice Age is the thesaurus?

My dolphin🐬 puns are bad on porpoise.

I saw two huge black birds stuck together.

They must have been Velcrows.

So on that note♫, take care.

STAY SAFE!

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

SUNDAY FUNNIES: IN MEMORY OF SATURDAY MORNINGS

Hello Everybody. Waxy Dragon here.
Today, I'm going to be doing something a little different, because this week's Sunday Funnies will be more a trip down Memory Lane than the usual joke posts.
Why?
October 4, 2014 marked the end of an era.
NONE of the major networks here in the United States (ABC, CBS, the CW, FOX, nor NBC) are showing cartoons on Saturday mornings any more!

A long standing tradition since the early 1960s has ended.

Gone are the days of classic comedy, like Bugs Bunny and friends.

Or more recent fun stuff like Animaniacs.

Even the adventure cartoons are gone!

So many great studios...

Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, Depatie-Freleng, Total Television, DIC, Jay Ward, etc...

So many great shows...

Jonny Quest, Pinky and the Brain, The Pink Panther, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Scooby-Doo, Tennessee Tuxedo, The Archies, The Smurfs, The Littles, Super Friends, etc...

There are many reasons for the change. The biggest of which are costs and the higher demand for educational programming.

But who said cartoons weren't educational?

There were many shows that delivered a lesson or three within their episodes, like Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, Muppet Babies, Yogi's Gang, etc...

There is a big difference between Human and Dragon years, so I can remember a lot of those great Saturdays of the past, despite the fact I'm only a baby dragon.

Sure, there are cable and Internet options to us kids, no matter what species you are, but according to some of the older dragons I've talked to, it just isn't quite the same any more.--wd.

The Sunday Funnies will return next weekend.

We promise.

IN OTHER WORDS

"Understanding something after the fact comes with normal visual clarity" is a more formal way of saying "Hindsight is 20/20."

COMMON BONDS
01. {Dungeons and Dragons, Yahtzee} and yes, we know they are both games.
Both games require dice to play.
02. {Scarlett, Peachfuzz} Both are fictitious Captains. Scarlett was a creation of puppeteer Gerry Anderson while Peachfuzz always delivered Rocky and Bullwinkle to the wrong destinations.
