Fun Friday with a little help from my friends . . .




Now, finally a computer error message we can understand.






Thanks Monica
Judy got married to her first husband, Ted, and had 13 children. Then, he died of cancer.

She married again, and she and Bob had 7 more children. Bob was killed in a car accident, 12 years later.

Judy again remarried, and this time, she and John had 5 more children.

Judy finally died, after having 25 children.

Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her. He thanked the Lord for this very loving woman and said,
"Lord, they are finally together."

Ethel leaned over and quietly asked her best friend, Margaret,

"Do you think he means her first, second, or third husband?"

Margaret replied, "I think he means her legs, Ethel . . . her legs"

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING - thanks Sharon

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.

Dear Mrs. Samuel,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samuel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

loved the AOL one with asking us if we wanted wine instead....that sounds good (in about 5 hours with dinner :)

that old lady's joke was cute too!

okay, I lied,I only got 2 of them right on the quiz from yesterday; Clint Eastwood and Goldie Hawn. I was thinking Jodie Foster instead of Barbara Streisland

Linda O'Connell said...

some of these things were Erma Bombeck funny. I wrote about her on my blog, and this just made my day.

Debbie said...

I laughed ALL OF THE WAY through this. I think Ethel's legs cracked me up the most, but I laughed through the Target list a lot too.

That "pick me!" one cracked me up.

And... believe it or not those were the answers that I was guessing in my head about the Trivia.

That's a lie. I told it anyway. Sometimes, I'm a rebel like that.

Unknown said...

what am i going to do for entertainment while you are vacationing with minnie and mickey? have fun!

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

Very funny Friday today (It's almost over, but I can always still use the laugh). I actually liked the first one best (would you like wine with that)? For a minute I thought it was a real message.

Where are you going this weekend? I must have missed a post.

Mevely317 said...

Absolutely, stinkin' PRICELESS!
This Target story just made my whole day!

Sue said...

I am dying over here reading about the husband that has been banned from Target....I hate to say that it sounds just like something the Boss would do....which one?...All of them!!

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Oh Friday Funnies are always fun!
