Thanks to all the sympathetic messages and emails I’ve received concerning my upcoming wedding anniversary.  Thanks you guys.  You’re the best.  But, let’s put that to the side for the second.  

For the rest of you, we won’t be doing our annual charity push until end of August through the middle of September.  You can start saving one cup of coffee a week now to save up, lol.

Now, I swore I wasn’t going to talk about this, but it’s ALL over the news and it’s pissing me off.  The whole abortion thing with the Supreme Court.  First of all, the Supreme Court just returned the Abortion ruling to the States, WHERE IT BELONGED IN THE FIRST PLACE.  The Federal Government has WAY TOO MUCH CONTROL of things it has no right to have control of.  The ONLY thing it is supposed to control is protection of the country (hence the United States military) and interstate commerce or some such.  THAT’S IT!!

Now, if you want to talk about the fact that the States are screwing up the abortion problem then I’ll agree with you 100%.  It is unbelievable to me that a little 10 year old girl in Ohio can be raped and can be denied an abortion.  I’m anti-abortion except under special circumstances and this would definitely qualify as a special circumstance.  First of all, I would think this would threaten this poor little girl’s life.  Second, SHE WAS RAPED!  And the state of Ohio forces her to go to Indiana to get an abortion.  That is unconscionable!  Shame on you, Ohio.

Today I went to the toilet without my phone…
There are 112 tiles in the bathroom.

I just ran into Best Buy to get some batteries…
The kid behind the counter asked me for my phone number and zip code…

I told him 867-5309 and 90210.
He never questioned me once.

Friggin’ kids!

All of us waiting impatiently for the next issue of Dragon Laffs to post.

No way in hell!!

Remember when we had to smack the TV because the channel wasn’t coming in clearly?
I feel that way about FAR TOO many people!

YOU AND ME BOTH!!

I think it’s adorable they’re putting jokes on the side of snacks now.

Like this one:
Serving size: 3 cookies.

Yup, I saw the same drone.  Thrown by a teacher at a student who was either sleeping, talking, cheating, passing a note, or doing something else they weren’t supposed to do.  Not saying it was me…not saying that at all … although it could have been.

Okay, so it’s an old joke…but it’s a good joke:

Me:  Hi, my name is Matt, and I’m an alcoholic.

AAA Person:  Sir, this is triple A.

Me:  I know.  I’m explaining why my car’s in the lake.

And the annoying part is that it says isles instead of aisles.

“Me and Tommy are here to collect for the newspaper dues.  I know you don’t want to be late and have us have to come back…”

I’ve had that same problem with Jameson.

As opposed to parking one car on top of the other?

Yeah, a lot of you kids have NO IDEA…

I’m doing one of those escape rooms today…

Well, work…I’m going to work.  But, I’m trying to figure out how to get out of it.

Fitness Instructor:  Have you ever done a marathon?

Me:  You mean like on Netflix?

That’s disgusting.

Calm down Mr. Mechanic Guy.  I’m just here for an oil change.  If I wanted to know about all the other shit wrong with my car I’d turn down the radio.

The cops just left.  They said if I’m gonna walk around the house naked, I have to do it inside.

I just got sacked from my Bingo calling job. 

Apparently saying, “A meal for two with a hairy view” is not the correct way to pronounce 69.

I hate it when people act all intellectual and talk about Mozart while they’ve never even seen one of his paintings…

I think people who use the wrong wrong word should have the humidity to admit it.

Izzy Dragon and I got into a bit of a discussion today.  She posted something on line that went something like this:  There is not a single thing you need to do to deserve food.  You deserve food because you are an alive person.  

So, I asked her where this food was coming from?  She saw where I was going with my question and she said that, there is plenty of food that grows on trees and bushes and stuff.  

So, I asked her, where around here is there food, that is free to take, that grows on trees and bushes and stuff.  And she told me that we have berries that are growing in our own backyard.  

Yup, this is true.  Go gather me, say a week’s worth of berries for two people from our backyard that will give us the vitamins and proteins and stuff that we will need for that week.  Well, you can’t get protein from berry you need meat for that, don’t you?  

And where are you going to get that meat from?  The government should supply it for us, free.  

And where is the government going to get it from?  From there own government farms.  

There are no government farms.  Then the government can buy the meat from the farmers and then give the meat to us.  

Okay, now we’re getting to it.  And where does the government get the money to buy the meat?  Come on, you got this one.  From taxes that they collect from everyone.  

Everyone except those people that don’t work that you think should be fed also.  So, under your plan, we are basically paying for our own food anyway, except we are also paying to feed the people who are unwilling to contribute to the society who are feeding them.  It’s basically the same way that it works now, except you want us to bring someone else to our table and feed them, too.  Someone who has done absolutely nothing to contribute to our household, to our family, to our wellbeing, but we should invite them to sit down to our table for every meal that we sit down to, treat them like family when they have done nothing to act like family.  Does that seem right to you?  Does that seem fair to you?

I applaud this whole thing the youngsters nowadays have about that education should be free and medical care should be free and food should be free and everyone should be paid a living wage and woulda, coulda, shoulda … blech! 

There are a couple of simple points you children need to understand, so sit down near Uncle Impish’s knees and listen up.  First of all, the government doesn’t produce ANYTHING.  It just takes.  Anything the government gives to you, it has to take from someone else. 

Second, that taking process costs money.  So, if the government wants to give everyone $100, it probably costs them, with everyone they have to pay, and all the bureaucracy involved, $150 per person.

Third, and it’s your money anyway.  You’re the one paying for it!  So, in order for the government to give you $100, somewhere else they are taking $150 from you!  You just don’t notice it.  Free medical, free food, free education — NONE OF IT IS FREE!!!!  The doctors and nurses and teachers and such all still have to be paid by someone!!!  And since the government doesn’t make money, only takes money, FROM US, it’s us who is paying anyway.

So, rather than you and me paying for EVERYONE to go to the doctor, isn’t it better for us to pay as we go?  That way, it’s only the people who need it who pay for it? 

And yes, we can do some things to make it cheaper.  We are spending billions of our dollars EVERY FUCKING YEAR over seas for stupid shit.  Condoms for French camels and shit.  Billions of dollars that goes to other countries that should be staying right here and we should be helping people pay for the really expensive cancer treatment medication and putting homeless veterans into homes.  Men and women who offered to give their very LIVES for our country!!  No, instead we send our money to the very countries who are threatening to behead those same men and women.  

We need to put America first!  And we need to put those Americans who serve America at the front of the line!  Put the damn politicians at the back of the friggin’ line.

Okay, I’ve ranted enough.  I’m just getting myself pissed off.  Let me close with one simple quote.  One that I think hits right to the very heart  of today’s Last Word.  It’s from JFK’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961 and it goes like this:

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”

May love and happiness, peace and prosperity keep you until next time.

So, it’s Saturday.  I’ve had the better part of a week of teleworking and it’s been…a week.  I’ve caught up on a couple of hundred emails, answered some phone calls.  Disappointed a LOT of people because I’m not there to actually DO stuff, so all-in-all a fairly successful week.  I’m enjoying being at home.  I NEED to be at home.  Still recovering, still very sore and weak.  And still not over the passing of my wife. 

This week is going to bring it’s own hell.  On Friday, the 15th of July, Mary and I would have celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary.  That’s going to be a fun day.  I scheduled an appointment with my counselor for Wednesday the 13th.  And it will be an in-person appointment unlike my lately phone call appointments.  So…I’m trying to plan accordingly.  Monday I have grief group and I’ll bring it up then.  Izzy has an appointment with her counselor on the 15th. 

Anyway, let’s line up some laughs and try to get this week ended with some funnies to get next week started the right way! 

“Rage Against The Machine” never specified what type of machine they were furious with, but I figure it was probably a printer.

Boy, ain’t that the truth.

I have no problem with vigorous background checks on firearms.  While we’re at it, do the same for immigration and voter ID.

Please!  Take my word for it.  Don’t learn this one by experience.

If you are going to hang out with me, you need the following:

An understanding and appreciation of sarcasm
The ability to shake your head and roll your eyes.

She wears my T-shirts to bed.
She wears my jacket when she’s cold.
She even wears my boxers.
But I wear her panties one time and suddenly I have “serious mental issues” and I’ve “overstepped my boundaries.”

Scotty, Beam me up!

What’s wrong with whiskey for breakfast?

Got a couple of messages I’d like to share:

Before I got married I didn’t know there was a wrong way to put milk back in the fridge.

At my age, rolling out of bed in the morning is the easy part.
Getting up off the floor is a whole other story.

Being an adult is a little out of my price range right now.

At a party, a young wife admonished her husband, “That’s the fourth time you’ve gone back for ice cream and cake.  Doesn’t it embarrass you?”

“Why should it?” answered her spouse.  “I keep telling them it’s for you.”

Today my bank informed me that Facebook friends can not be used as references for a car loan.  You guys are useless.

Could never happen in real life, right? … right?

If I was a plastic surgeon…
I would 100% put a squeaky toy squeaker in every breast implant.

Sure, go ahead, try it.

Some of my friends exercise every day, meanwhile I’m watching a TV show I don’t like because the remote fell on the floor.

Some people wake up finding messages like 
“Good Morning, Baby!”

I wake up to
“Battery full, Remove charger.”

And that’s it for today.  Love and happiness to you all.  Until Monday.

So, it’s the 4th of  July as I’m writing this.  My poor puppy dogs went nuts last night with the people setting off fireworks last night near the house and the worst is yet to come, except … they’ve added the chance of storms into tonight’s forecast, so this might end up being screwed up.  Pepper Dragon and Willow Dragon don’t like thunder any more than they like fireworks, so I’d just as soon have the fireworks so that everyone can enjoy them. 

And now we hear that some other fucking moron chooses today in Highland Park, Illinois to create an active shooter incident at a 4th of July Parade.  Five people are dead and sixteen people are taken to the hospital.  But, we should take weapons away from the good people…that should help.  Because everyone knows that making it more difficult for the good guys to get weapons will automatically make it more difficult for the bad guys to get weapons, right?  

Okay, I know I’m preaching to the choir.  

And since it’s still the 4th of July, here’s a great video to start with, that brother Wheats sent to me.  Modern Swing music with a military bent.

I enjoyed the music and the video and the group is worth checking out.  Fun music.

And speaking of fun, what do you say we get on to that portion of the show?

I got myself a seniors’ GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I like to listen to BeeGees music when I cook Chinese food.  You can tell by the way I use my wok. 

I’m not sure if that’s true.  That we can’t know true happiness if we never experience true sorrow.  But, there is definitely enough sorrow in this world, that I’m also pretty sure that none of us will ever be able to test that theory.

“Happy Birthday big boy!”

My wife and I have started role playing in the bedroom, her favorite is “Sexy Librarian” where I have to sit quietly while she reads a book.

Me:  How much for the angry lawn gnome? 

Yard Sale Lady:  That’s my toddler.

If we’re ONLY talking about looks, I’m a 6.  But, if you take my personality, sense of humor, and values into consideration, I’m actually a strong 2.

Here at Dragon Laffs, Inc. some of our Uber rides are more dangerous than yours.

When filling out a job application, I saw they had a section for “Previous Life Experience”, so I wrote down that I was a Pharaoh in 2300 B.C.

So a burglar broke into the house…I put the red dot on his chest and the cat did the rest.

I feel bad for parents nowadays.  You have to be able to explain the birds and the bees… The bees and the bees… The birds and the birds… The birds that used to be bees… The bees that used to be birds… The birds that look like bees… Plus bees that look like birds but still got a stinger!!!

Tonight’s Powerball Jackpot is a full tank of unleaded gas and a sheet of plywood.

My wife wanted to disgrace me in the presence of her friends, she said I wasn’t good in bed.  She was shocked when they all disagreed with her.

Absolute truth!  The old west was one of the most polite and safe places to be, contrary to the all the old movies.  When everyone was armed and knew how to use their weapons, it forced everyone else to be polite because you never knew who you were going to piss off.  Colonel Cooper is 100% correct.  If everyone was trained and armed, the felons would have no victims to take advantage of and crime would take a HUGE decline.

NO KIDDING!!!

Or even to be allowed to WALK with scissors!

Another way to ask that same question is how did so many Government Employees become millionaires?

Probably cheaper, too.

The turtle can breathe through it’s ass.  Humans have not yet reached this stage of evolution, although many have learned to talk through it.

It’s six months since I joined the gym and no progress.

I’m going there in person tomorrow, to find out what’s really going on…

And that does it for another issue.  I did hear that they caught the scumbag that shot up the parade yesterday (July 4th).  Haven’t heard anything else about it, yet.  It ought to be an easy fix for people like that.  Save the state an awful lot of money.  Take him out back, put a bullet in the back of his head.  Piece of cake.  If you’re 100% sure it’s him, then go ahead and do it. 

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for today my dear camper friends.  Be well, be full of love, and be full of happiness.  Until we meet again.

It isn’t often that the holiday that we’re celebrating actually falls on the day that it is supposed to be on.  Today is actually the 4th of July.  America’s Independence Day.  And since not all of you are from America, I know it doesn’t hold the same significance for all the rest of you that it does for us.  But, it is an important day in our history and in our country.

246 years ago today, our forefathers brought upon this land a new nation, conceived in liberty, freedom, and justice for each and every person who lived here.  It took a while for that to work out for everyone, but it did happen.  We won’t go into the politics of those who are trying to take that away from us now.  The Constitution, which is about 233 years old codified all that and was written, I feel, with God’s guiding hand.  We have an awful lot to be thankful for in this country and it all started today, 246 years ago. 

But, like everything else we do, we’ll intersperse the laughter with the serious and help to spread the joy to you, fellow campers, and hopefully make this an episode that we are all truly proud of.

You’d think someone along the way would’ve noticed.

Thanks to Lynn for sending this next one.  I think I’ve pretty much heard it all now.  I’m, once again, flabbergasted over the complete and udder nonsense involved.  Now, I haven’t investigated anywhere to verify this, but since there is, what appears to be, ample verifiable proof, I have no significant reason to doubt it’s veracity…other than my hope in common sense.  But, that has been dashed so many times now, that I’m not sure there is much left anymore anyway.

The Pronoun Police Come for Middle Schoolers 

Kiel, Wis.

For most people, the term “Title IX investigation” calls to mind allegations of rape, groping, unwanted sexual advances or a pervasive pattern of verbal abuse. Think again. Wisconsin’s Kiel Area School District, in deep red Manitowoc and Calumet counties along the western shore of Lake Michigan, has uncovered a new form of harassment. On April 25 they accused three eighth-grade boys of sexual harassment—and launched a Title IX investigation—for something called “mispronouning.” These children used “ her” to refer to a classmate who wants to be called “them.”

It’s easy to dismiss this as bizarre. You won’t find mispronouning in the Wisconsin statutes or U.S. code. It hardly resembles the egregious aggression that we associate with harassment. It doesn’t, in and of itself, constitute conduct “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to education” as Title IX law on harassment requires. But the stain that such a charge could leave on these boys’ reputations and the harm inflicted upon their futures is real.

The boys’ parents first heard about the charges when they received a call from the district that their sons were about to be charged with sexual harassment under Title IX. There had been no prior warning or discussions with the families about pronoun use at school, nor did the district initially explain what the boys had done to warrant being investigated for a violation of federal law. When the families were finally informed that the alleged sexual harassment— the boys’ potential federal offense—was “using incorrect pronouns,” terror quickly turned to bewilderment. “Is this real? This has to be a joke,” thought Rose Rabidoux, one of the parents.

When the parents reached out to us at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, we had the same reaction: This can’t be real. Alas, it is. The district appears to believe that once a student announces different pronouns to others, any subsequent use of the biologically and grammatically correct pronouns— even when not directed to the student— may be punishable as sexual harassment under Title IX.

We hope Kiel is an outlier, but it may not be. A school board in Virginia is reportedly considering adding a policy to prohibit “malicious misgendering.” The Biden administration is about to unveil its long-awaited update to Title IX regulations and, given the president’s pronouncement that transgender discrimination is the civil-rights issue of our time, it wouldn’t be surprising if the new rules call for the policing of pronouns. All of this may soon be coming to a school near you.

Apparently, any failure to comply will subject an adolescent to a frightening inquisition. Parents need to stand up against this wherever it rears its ugly head. Middle school is hard enough as it is. Young students shouldn’t live in fear of punishment if they don’t follow the left’s ever-changing fads about speech. And they should know that they have a right to disagree respectfully with the idea that gender is self-declared. Of course, teasing or aggravating other students—including through the use of names or pronouns—is wrong. But generations have been raised into courteous adults without formal investigations and allegations of federal offense. When common sense goes missing in places like Kiel, something has gone wrong.

Title IX regulations require a district to dismiss a complaint immediately if the allegations, even if proven, wouldn’t amount to sexual harassment. That’s what should have happened here, so that’s what our letter to the district urges it to do: Dismiss the charges, clear these kids’ records, and make changes so this doesn’t happen again. It isn’t too late for the district to do the right thing. It blew the matter out of proportion and has harmed the children who were charged to its care.

This episode doesn’t have to become a federal lawsuit, but if the district follows through and punishes these boys solely for “mispronouning,” it will.

Poor Owen!

Why?  So you can look like even more of a friggin’ dork?

If I share my food with you, it’s either because I love you very much, or because it fell on the floor and I don’t want it.

For ladies that are still waiting for their prince on a white horse, don’t give up!  With the recent rises in fuel, it can happen at any time now!!!!

“Six o’clock
In the morning, I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes
Who came to conquer.
…
I’m flying in Winchester cathedral.
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say
I can’t stay.”

I don’t know why that picture reminded me so much of that song.  And if you don’t recognize those two stanzas, it’s from the song Cathedral, written by Graham Nash and one of my most favorite songs by Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Much more truth in this cartoon then at first appears.

I gotta see the candy first.
Then I get in the van.
I’m not stupid.

Person:  I can hear your music. 

Me:  You’re welcome.

I don’t understand why I can’t hold a job, or get through a metal detector.

Going on that assumption, I’m attractive to millions of females every year!

My mind is exceptionally quiet today.  I’m suspicious I’m up to something I don’t want me to know about.

I agree 100%!

An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married.

Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on.

Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. ‘How do you feel about sex?’ he asked, rather tentatively.

‘I would like it infrequently’ she replied.

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, leaned over towards her and whispered – ‘Is that one word or two?’

What’s a saying that kids nowadays will never know?

I’ll start…
“Roll the window down.”

This one is from Leah D and perhaps the 4th of July is the perfect time to share it.  If you are a vet I defy you to watch it with a dry eye and although I’m not crazy about all the lyrics of the song, the message is so strong it needs to be screamed from the rooftops!  Something I’ve said so many, many times before.  Please watch…

The way we treat our Veterans is SO WRONG.  We need to do more.  So much more.

~KILT~
It’s what happened to the last person who called it a skirt.

The people who shut your businesses and killed your careers are now asking that you re-elect them so they keep their jobs!  Never forget what they’ve done to you!

Once a government provides you with basic utilities –
     ►  The government can then decide when to turn them on and off.
Once a government pays for all your education –
     ►  The government can then control the education and career you get to have.
Once a government provides you with food – 
     ►  The government can then decide how much or if you get to eat.
Once a government pays for your housing –
     ►  The government can then control where you can live.
Once a government pays for your healthcare and medicine –
     ►  The government can control whether or not you are valuable enough to allow to live.
Once a government gets you t agree to gun control –
     ►  You have NO way to prevent that government from doing EVERYTHING on this list.

Don’t Believe Everything You Think

I would offer some words of wisdom, but I have never been called wise without the word ass following shortly behind it.

And that’s it for today.  I hope you all have a safe and happy Independence Day!  Love and Happiness to you all.

Just Willow and me hanging out outside the cavern.  She’s been such a good girl lately.  Been my friend, keeping me company. 

I’ve got a couple of quick things to bring up.  Tom H. brought up a mistake I made in the last issue.  Great Value is a Walmart brand, not a Kroger brand.  I besmirched Kroger when I should have been Besmirching Walmart.  Thanks for pointing that out, Tom.  My humblest apologies to Kroger. Mea Culpa. (Not sure I spelled that right) 

Jerry M. said thanks for the posts making life more tolerable.  Agreed Jerry.  That’s why we’re all here.  Helping each other keep our heads above water and laughing a little about it.  Fighting the world’s bullshit with laughter.  Says so in the masthead somewhere. 

It’s you guys that make my life more tolerable.  I appreciate each and everyone of you. 

I got an email with the subject line of “.Lucrative Investment.”  It went directly into my Junk Folder.  I can’t understand why.  It looks like a good opportunity for me.  It’s from a Henry Markson who says he is an Investment Analyst and his email is hmarksn11@gmail.com, gee, that sounds like a legitimate company email, right?  Anyway, he says:

Hello, now that’s a nice professional opening, right?

I want to notify you of our client’s interest in investing in your company as a SILENT/ANGEL INVESTOR. Not sure who his “client” is, but of all the Angels I’ve met, none of them have been silent nor willing to invest in anything.  So, I’m kind of curious.  Especially since he doesn’t even seem to know what the name of my company is.

Please, if you wish to proceed, get back to me as soon as possible for contact details and further proceedings.   I wonder what the further proceedings entail?  I would bet that I would only have to send him my bank information or a small down payment to get started.

Best Regards,  Does anyone ever send Worst Regards?

I don’t know…what do you guys think?  I sure could use the money right now…If Lethal Leprechaun were still around, I’d get his crack legal team on it.  Man I miss him.  Too soon gone. 

Okay, so on that happy note, let’s get on with the regular comedic stuff that you are all looking forward to.  I think I’ve poked enough fun at this piece of spam.

Originally, Wrigley’s was a soap company that included baking powder as a gift with the purchase of their soap.  They switched to selling baking powder when it became more popular than the soap, and included a pack of gum as a gift.  When the gum became more popular than the baking powder, the company changed again and started selling gum.

The problem with stealing quotes off the internet is you never know if they are genuine. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Working at an Air Force Base for a living, you have no idea how many times I still hear this one from otherwise upstanding and somewhat intelligent people.  It boggles the mind.

Here’s a comment/mail from Tommy V that I want to share with the rest of you guys.

Stephanie sent this next one in and said she knew 3…

I knew 7 and remembered seeing 3 more.

When I was a very small child, my mom used to bury coins in my sandbox, leave huge boot prints in the sand, and tell me pirates had come in the night and buried treasure.  I would be out there happily for hours, with my little sieve, and my mom got a quiet morning to herself for the price of a handful of pennies. 

I was always kind of skeptical about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, because visiting every kid in the world did not seem reasonable.  But the pirates only visited me, so they were probably real. 

So, that’s the story of how I ended up being an archaeologist.  How did you become what you are?

Them:  Can we contact your previous employer to make sure you’re a good fit?  

Me:  Sure!  As long as I can ask your previous employees why they quit.

Man!  Why did I never think of that?

John S. sent me this next one in the form of a video that I can’t forward to you guys, so I’m translating it to you like this, (Thanks John)

Okay, so this rather brilliantly cuts through all the political double speak we get.  It puts it into a much better perspective:

Lesson #1

U.S. Tax Revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal Budget:  $3,820,000,000,000
New Debt:  $1,650,000,000,000
National Debt:  $29,271,000,000,000
Recent Budget Cuts:  $38,500,000,000

So, now let’s remove 8 zeros each time and pretend it’s a household budget

Annual Family Income:  $21,700
Money the Family Spent:  $38, 200
New Debt on Credit Cards:  $16,500
Outstanding Balance on Credit Cards:  $292,710
Total Household Budget Cuts:  $385

Does that make more sense to you?

Lesson #2

Here’s another way to look at the debt ceiling: 

Let’s say you come home from work and find that there’s been a sewer backup in your neighborhood and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings. 

What do you think you should do?  Raise the ceilings, or pump out the crap? 

Your choice is coming, November 2022!

Thanks again, John.

I got this from Lynn…and I deeply appreciate it.
