I'm kind of cranky today. Correction: I'm REALLY cranky today. I didn't start that way when I woke up. It just sort of built up throughout the day. And it peaked about half an hour ago when I hit my knee on this same part of my desk that I bump into 75 times a week. I may have thrown a small temper tantrum when it happened. I may have physically abused an inanimate object. I may have hurt myself in the process.
I don't know what I was thinking. I was young! I needed the money!
Prior to that, I lost my favorite pen. I couldn't attach documents to an email I needed to send because the Internet is too incompetent in Palau. Then the Internet broke altogether while I was in the middle of something important. Oh, and it's really hot today. And everything is a bigger deal when it's hot.
Beyond all of that, I'm cranky about some things that I found out today that actually matter, too. I DON'T JUST GET UPSET OVER MEANINGLESS STUFF, GUYS. Bad things that matter sometimes come my way.
And I recognize that by leaving that prior paragraph at that and refusing right now to explain exactly what those things are is totally hypocritical since just last week I called you all out on vague facebook cry-for-help posts. SO SUE ME.
Actually, don't sue me. I really don't have time to defend a law-suit right now. Maybe we can settle outside of court? Fine. You drive a hard bargain. You can have half of everything I own if this can all just go away. Sorry if your half includes Lohan, my parasite.
I've been bringing my running clothes to work in the mornings so I can run the few miles home at the end of the day. This is my attempt to reverse the course of my Pillsbury Doughboy transformation that I've been attempting to undergo ever since I arrived in Palau.
On days when I'm especially cranky I'm tempted to do one of two things: eat excessive amounts of ice cream or run. So this whole bring running clothes to work and send my car away with Daniel plan is my way of trying to keep myself from continuing to choose the former option.
On days like today, when I'm extra cranky, I usually make it home particularly fast.
So what I need from you, PLEASE, is a funny joke that will make me, and anyone else out there who is a little cranky today, feel a little less cranky. Leave it in the comments. I'll love you forever if you actually make me laugh out loud.

ReplyDeleteMy just turned 4 year old son looked at me ( a young 33 year old) as we were playing play dough today and said, very nonchalantly, "Oh. You have stripes all over your face. You are going to die soon," and then continued playing as if my end had not just been foretold.
"What?!? What stripes? Where?"
"Those ones. On your forehead"
"Ooooh. You mean wrinkles. Wait...wrinkles do NOT mean I'm going to die soon thankyouverymuch!"

Jack Daniels Fishing Story
ReplyDeleteI went fishing one morning but after a short time I ran out of prawns.
Then I saw a redbelly black snake with a frog in his mouth.. Frogs are good barra bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, Jack Daniels Fishing Story

Then I saw a redbelly black snake with a frog in his mouth.. Frogs are good barra bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog,
and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the problem was how to Release the snake without getting bitten.
So, I grabbed my bottle of
Jack Daniels and poured a
little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp.
I released him into the lake
without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge
on my foot. It was that snake, with two more frogs.
and put it in my bait bucket.

ReplyDeleteAs a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service
ReplyDeletefor a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical Male, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the
funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was
already in place.
I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together.
When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've
been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
Apparently I'm still lost.
This was the funniest one on here so far! hahahahahah

My niece looked up at her and in full voice says "I'm not apologizing, I didn't kill him!"

This isn't a joke, because I've been cranky since Friday, but I hate that you are complaining about how hot is it. I just moved to a work on a farm in the mountains of Alabama. In winter. I live in a little cabin that's only heat source is a wood burning stove which my hosts have given me inadequate fuel for, thus it does very little to offset the 28 degree nights/35 degree days we've been having. How about you give me some of your hot air and I'll send you some cold? At least this farm doesn't have a Queen of Colors reincarnation like the last farm I was at does....

ReplyDeleteAn old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, 'Seven Points.'
His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?' The old man replied, 'its fart football.'
A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, 'Touchdown, tie score...'
After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, 'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'
Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, 'Touchdown, tie score.'
Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, 'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on for the old man.
He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed.
The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'

Eli,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're feeling cranky over things both trivial and real. It seems like the trivial crap really pisses me off when the real stuff (that you don't feel like sharing with a bunch of strangers) turns to crap and piles up. When it rains, it pours, am I right, Eli?
I've had a series of crappy days (lasting every day for the past...let me count...a full 20 days); and even though there is most certainly an end in sight, I feel like I've been swimming in it, barely keeping my head above water.
Then my friend sent me this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOqTLcKkLHM It's called "If animals ate fast food," I think, and for some reason, it makes me laugh. Out loud. Every time. Give it a try.

Ugh.. I keep saying that I'm not going to come back to this blog and here I am again.
ReplyDeleteI won't tell you a joke because all of my funny jokes are not very appropriate. But I'll share a bizarre family story. Also, check out Glozell on youtube.
So I mentioned to you before I was from Argentina. Well, people don't care about car seats over there. No one cared about them at least when I was growing up.
You won't get a ticket if a cop pulls you over and you don't have your kids in car seats but you might get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt (which no one does anyway unless they see a cop nearby). Don't worry. I know car seats are important and necessary. Also, you need to know that my parents were really good and responsible.
So, my mom had to go to the gas station one day and she took my baby sister with her (which was probably 3 or 4 at the time). No car seat, of course. Well, apparently she didn't close the backdoor all the way, she turned at the corner and my sister fell out of the car. This is not the worst part. The worst is... My mom didn't notice and DROVE AWAY like nothing. So this street vendor found my sister, gave her something to drink and took her to our house (I guess he knew us). They get there and the man tells us he found her on the street. We immediately realized that my mom was going to die when she saw that my sister wasn't in the car. So, my oldest sister took off running to find my mom. A few minutes after she left, my mom gets home completely panicked. We tell her that my little sister is home, safe. We now realize that my other sister was going to be desperately looking for my mom who was already home. My mom leaves again to find her. A couple of minutes later, my oldest sister gets home totally out of breath. We tell her mom already knows. Meanwhile, my very dramatic grandma screams uncontrollably as if someone had died. Eventually we were all back together in the house holding hands in a circle wearing feather crowns, singing songs of joy, celebrating my sister being alive. (Well, we didn't actually do that but we were relieved nothing bad had happened to her). The end.
PS: Don't you hate it when someone is telling you a story and they think it's really funny and they even laugh while they tell it to you and you don't think it's funny at all but, to be nice, you have to do a super fake, sympathetic laugh?
Yeah, me too! ~Flo

Visibly shaken, Jennifer stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.
She simply had to know. She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked:
"Will I be acquitted?"
Two factory workers are talking. The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off."
ReplyDeleteThe man replies, "And how would you do that?" The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside-down from the ceiling. The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?"
The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb." The boss then says, "You've been working so much that you've gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off." The man starts to follow her and the boss says, "Where are you going?" The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."
A drunk walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "Bartender, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill."
ReplyDeleteSo, the bartender does just that and hands the man a bill for $57.00. The drunk says, "I haven't got it."
The bartender slaps the guy around a few times then throws him out into the street.
The very next day the same drunk walks into the bar and once again says, "Bartender, buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill."
The bartender looks at the guy and figures to himself that he can't possibly be stupid enough to pull the same trick twice, so he gives him the benefit of the doubt, pours a round of drinks for the house, has a drink himself and hands the drunk a bill for $67.00.
The drunk says, "I haven't got it."
The bartender can't believe it. He picks the guy up, beats the living daylights out of him, then throws him out into the street.
The next day the same drunk walks back into the same bar and says "Bartender, buy every one in the house a drink, give me the bill."
In disgust, the bartender says, "What, no drink for me this time?"
The drunk replies, "You? No way! You get too violent when you drink."
I had a rather large baby 4 months ago and I haven't started running again because I'm afraid it will make me pee my pants... Soooo yeah.
ReplyDeleteA woman's husband dies suddenly and had $20,000 to his name.
ReplyDeleteAfter everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery she tells her closest friend that there is no money left.
The friend says, "How can that be?
You told me he had $20,000 a few days before he died.
How could you be broke?"
The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500.
And of course, I had to make the obligatory donation for the church and the organist and all.
That was $500 and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks, you know.
The rest went for the memorial stone."
The friend says, "$12,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big was it?"
The widow says, "Three carats."
An old man came into the doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem.
ReplyDelete"I do that all the time, Doctor Johnson, but they're soundless, and they have no odor.
In fact, since I've been here, I did it no less than twenty times. What can I do?"
"Here's a prescription, Mr. Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week."
Next week an upset Mr. Harris marched into Dr. Johnson's office.
"Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm doing it just as much, they are still soundless but now it smells terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Calm down, Mr. Harris," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your hearing!!!"
Just gave you 5 .... do you love me? Cheer up and shake the crankiness off! Dr. V

Simba was going too slow.
ReplyDeleteSo I told him to Mufasa.
Well I am going on my mission soon, so I moved back in with my parents. I have to share a small bunk bed with my 8 year old little brother. He is on the top, and I am on the bottom. Last week I am woken up by this splash of liquid on my face. At first I thought it was my dad throwing a cup of water at my face to wake me up, but when the "water" didn't stop coming, I got a little concerned. At this point I was drenched, and asked my little brother, "Ethan, did you wet the bed?" "No, of course not." "Ethan..." "No..Oh, maybe a little". Waking up to your own pee can make for a bad day, but waking up drenched in someone else's pee makes for one of the worst days ever.

ReplyDeleteOk. I apologize that my comment is so late in the race, but I have just the story to cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought the most adorable puppy ever. His name is Rupert (yeah, that happened) and he is a German Shepherd. It is now my job to potty train him while the rest of my family (mom, dad, brother, absent missionary sister in England) sits back and enjoy all the fun parts of having a puppy. The semester just ended and I find myself jobless, schoolless, and useless. My entire day is filled with this puppy.
A few days ago, I caught my cat eating his puppy food. I told him to knock it off, and just like I anticipated, he barfed an hour later. Downstairs on the tiled floor. Thanks, Shadow. So today I caught him doing it again, so I threw him outside to barf on the grass like a normal animal. Shortly thereafter, puppy needed a potty break so I took him outside as well. As he was playing, I heard my cat do his I-think-I'm-gonna-freaking-barf noise which is like a whiny cat meow that sounds super annoyed and sick. He was sitting on the deck looking over the edge....and thats when he barfed.
I had to back up a few steps to avoid getting barfed on from above by my lovely cat. At that same moment, I noticed my puppy looking curiously at a pile of chicken poop. (We also have two chickens, more to come on that in a moment.) So I dodged the barf waterfall to get Rupert away from eating chicken poop, when the chickens heard my voice and came running--only to find a lovely pile of something on the cement floor waiting for them. (Cat barf.)
It is incredibly difficult to simultaneously keep a rambunctious puppy from eating chicken poop, try to make my cat feel better because he always is so ashamed after barfing, and trying to keep a HORDE of chickens from eating his barf.
"No, Rupert! Leave it! LEAVE IT! It's ok, Shadow! Don't feel- I SAID LEAVE IT!-bad! *scoot chickens away with foot, doesn't work as they just jump over my foot* *try to catch puppy as he dodges my reach* "EVERYONE STOP EATING THINGS!!"
After a few moments of this, I realized my life was that awkward part in a comedy where the audience is actually uncomfortable watching it because it is so incredibly awkward and they fast forward that scene or get a refill on their popcorn.
So I put the squirming puppy back down on the grass. Made a mental note to give him a treat later because his breath is horrifying. I told my chickens that they make bad decisions. And told Shadow he could come back inside.
This is my life now.
