SUNDAY FUNNIES: HUMAN HUMOR

 Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here now that we're back to the "normal" Sunday Funnies rotation, so what to talk about?

Did you know Jellyfish have survived 650 million years despite not having a brain? That makes this puppy wonder about some humans...

It is a shame that nothing is built in America like it used to be.

A man bought a TV📺 that said it had a "Built In Antenna".

He complained about not knowing where that state was. 

After reading the famous poem by Robert Frost, one man complained "I will not take the road less traveled. I've seen Deliverance!"

On March 10th, 1876, Alexander Gram Bell made the first phone☎ call ever.

Moments later, he received notification that his car’s extended warranty had expired.

LIQUIDATE does not mean Aquaman took Mera out to dinner.

Some humans brag about being in shape.

I hate to tell you folks, but in this case round is not a desirable shape.

A man was accused of stealing from his job while working on a road crew and they fired him.

He claimed to be innocent, but the signs were all there.

Summer isn't officially over until September 22, so why all the Pumpkin🎃 Spice flavored everything already?

"Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it is not satire. It is bullying." ~~ Sir Terry Pratchett.

And on that note♫, have a great week folks.

Take care.
