Okay, SO MUCH going on with this issue. The very first and foremost on my mind is a very special donation that arrived in the mail today from Joe from NJ. He donated to the “Get Impish Out of Hot Water With the City” fund. The GIOOHWWTC fund. Hmm, we need a simpler acronym.

BIB Bob is Blessed fund. So many good people helping me. It’s all in God’s hands. What more can I say? God has always blessed me and He always will. I have faith in that. So, thank you Joe, so very much. I know what this donation cost you.

The next thing that I want to pass on is that tomorrow, Tuesday is the twentieth anniversary of Dragon Laffs! At least in this iteration. We have been online for TWENTY YEARS! And some of you have been around since the beginning.

I want to say thank you. Thank you to all of you who have been with me through all that I have been through with this ezine. Thank you to all who have contributed, not monetarily, although for that, also, but for all the laughs, cartoons, memes, jokes, funnies and STUFF that you’ve sent in. Because there is no way I could do this without you. But even more importantly, thank you for the friendship and love that you have shown me over the years. You guys have been there for me through thick and thin. You’ve been there for me when others haven’t been. You’ve allowed me to put my feelings out there, to push my words out there, to get this damn monkey off my back for short periods of time. Those of you who write know what I mean. Thank you ever so much for ALL of you for ALL that you do.

So, Happy Anniversary to ALL OF US!

I’ve been in this line! A LOT!

Reminds me SO much of a song that I downloaded a couple of months ago that has really caught my attention. I’m gonna give you the YouTube version here. It’s not very long and I highly encourage you to listen to the lyrics…for me. No. Not for me. For you.

An awful lot of truth to that one.

Illinois, Chicago  Law

Law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.

The part that bothers me about this? Someone felt it necessary to make a LAW?!

And speaking of craziness…I just read that an 11 year old girl and 12 year old boy, running a lemonade stand were robbed at gunpoint in Boston. Took their money box that had about $50 in it. What is wrong with this country?

AIN’T THAT THE TRUTH!!!!!!!! People, if you don’t learn anything else from me, PLEASE learn that one. Comfort. Love your neighbor as your self. What do you think that even means? Talk to them. Be there for them. Isn’t that what Dragon Laffs is all about??? How many of you have told me that? More than a couple.

The devout cowboy lost his favorite BIBLE while he was mending fences out on the range.  

Three weeks later, a cow walked up to him carrying the BIBLE in its mouth.  

The cowboy couldn’t believe his eyes.  

He took the book from the cow’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward, and exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!” 

“Not really,” said the cow.  “Your name is written inside the cover.”

On a wall in the ladies room: 

‘My husband follows me everywhere’ 

Written just below it: 

‘I do not’

I AM DISGUSTED!!!

You think that’s great, wait until he turns 15…then 16…it all goes downhill from here, hun.

3 old guys are sitting on a porch in Miami. Suddenly the first sighs and says, “Gentlemen, isn’t life horrible. Here I am at an age that I can afford the best steaks and what? Bad teeth and gums. I have to eat ground or soft foods.” 

The second answers, “Yeah, life is a real bummer. Why here I am at an age where I can buy the finest wines, champagne but what? Ulcers, I have to drink milk.” 

The third sighs loudly and adds, “Gentlemen, I know exactly what you mean. Last night at 2 am I nudged my wife and asked her if she’s interested. She screams at me, “What is wrong with you dear?  We just got finished doing it for the second time tonight!” 

After a long pause the first man says, “So what is your problem?” 

The third one grunts and says, “Can’t you see?  My memory is going. 

I just got an update on the tornadoes that came through here Thursday night. Here’s what the NWS says are the tornadoes that hit Indiana. I think they are missing at least two, but what do I know? You’ll notice the blue dot is the “approximate” location of the DLL – Dragon Laffs Lair.

Wisdom:

Don’t marry for money. It’s cheaper to borrow.

Yeah, that’s about 151 mph. Not bad.

I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I’m 83 years old and this morning, while I was in the McDonald’s drive-through, the young lady behind me honked her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to order.

So, when I got to the first window, I paid for her order along with mine. The cashier must have mentioned what I did because as we moved up, she leaned out her window, waved at me, and mouthed “Thank you,” clearly embarrassed that I responded to her rudeness with kindness.

When I reached the second window, I showed them both receipts and took her food too.

Now she has to go back to the end of the line and start all over again.

So, a little tip: Don’t honk at older folks; we’ve been around a while!

Don’t live in a town where there are no

doctors.

And that’s it my friends! I hope the 20th Anniversary issue was worthwhile. It was fun for me, so I hope it was fun for you. May you find love and happiness in your life until we meet again. And …
