Okay, so it’s like the closest thing to a Thanksgiving header I could come up with.

It’s getting to that time.

Thanksgiving.

One of the bleakest holidays for me around. It was one of Mary’s and I FAVORITES and now it only holds sadness for me. Izzy and I will have our traditional schnitzel and rice and enjoy each other’s company.

Anyway, will start doing Thanksgiving cartoons and such in the next issue I think, but for this one, I have so many, many political cartoons right now, I think I’ll start adding some extras this time through.

 

And yes … I KNOW I have much to be thankful for, and I am thankful every single, solitary day. I don’t need a special holiday to thank my Heavenly Father for ALL the Blessings that I have. He took great care of me while I was off work and now I’m back to work and being paid and things are going well again and I was well taken care of. That’s not the point at all. And if that’s what you got out of what I said earlier than I was not being properly explicit enough.

 

47 Ridiculously Clueless People Who Lacked The Single Brain Cell Necessary For These Very Simple Tasks

Okay, so this is a transcript of a Facebook video that I can’t get to play, so I’m going to type it out. A picture of a woman, sitting in her chair, with an open Bible in her lap and her husband asleep on the couch in the background behind her.  She says out loud:

Hey Jesus, it’s me. I was reading my Bible and you know that verse that says, better to live in the desert than with a nagging wife?

Oh, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

So, I was thinking, do I just drop him off at any desert?

And of course the husband pops up and looks at her and I laughed my butt off.

Two drunks are walking along. One drunk says to the other, “What a beautiful night, look at the moon.”

The other drunk stops and looks at his drunk friend. “You’re wrong, that’s not the moon, that’s the sun.”

They began to argue when they come upon another drunk. 

They asked,  “Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that’s shining. Is it the moon or the sun?”

The third drunk looked at the sky and said, “Sorry, I don’t live around here.”

Yup. True story. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s me in front.

 

Another true story. Although I don’t recognize that classmate.

Stephanie sent me this email with the Subject line of Meaningful Sentences That Will Change Your Perspective.  When I opened it, there was a link to a Buzzfeed article that is entitled:

“It Helps Me Keep Some Sanity”: People Are Sharing The Single Sentence That Has Stuck With Them Their Whole Life, And It’s Making Me Weirdly Emotional

I was just going to put a link … okay, so the lawyers are telling me that I MUST put a link. I am legally not allowed to copy the whole article here. Okay, it is WELL worth your time to click HERE to go to the article.  And here is a small taste with the articles lead in:

I feel two ways about that. First, it would instill some discipline into a group that is probably sorely lacking, but SECOND, do YOU want a recalcitrant CHILD who can’t even pay his bills (keep his promises) backing YOU up on the battlefield?!?!

 

How does a Jewish wife cheat on her husband?

She has a headache with the milkman.

 

A guy walked into his friend’s office, he found him sitting at his desk, looking very depressed.

“Hey, what’s up with you?”, he asks.

“Oh, its my wife,” replied the man sadly. “She’s hired a new secretary for me.”

“Well, nothing wrong in that. Is she blonde or brunette?”

“Neither, He’s bald.”

 

How did the blonde get her ears pierced?

Answering the stapler.

Okay, I just heard the most absurd thing I think I’ve ever heard on the news. “Experts in Australia are now encouraging parents to ask their infants permission to change their diapers”. It’s called “soft parenting”. You can also ask them if they’d like to crawl or walk to the changing table or if they’d like you to carry them. Other experts are saying (all the rest of us) that these over indulgent parents are going to raise “spoiled brats”! 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Can you not connect the dots on this one? OH PLEASE!!

I have the same thing, but it’s driver mounted.  It’s called … DRAGON!

 

Can you imagine…black market Coca-Cola?

Mr. Gable had a leak in the roof over his dining room, so he called a repairman to take a look at it. ‘When did you first notice the leak?’  the repairman inquired.

Mr. Gable scowled. ‘Last night, when it took me 2 hours to finish my soup!

That’s it my friends. After my first week back to work, I’ve discovered that I now have a ton of “use-or-lose” leave I have to take by the end of the year! I just had all that time off and now I have to take more … and catch up on all the work I missed.

I feel … bad (?). 

Anyway, busy week and I’m behind, so I’m going to end this one and start the next one. Plus I’m going to work on a special Christmas lesson for the guys in the jail.

Annnnddddd …. I got that big branch in the backyard to finish cutting up before winter really sets in.
