Fun Fridays with a little help from my pals.


A recent article in the Kentucky Post reported that a woman, one Anne Maynard,
has sued St Luke's hospital, saying that after her husband had surgery there,
he lost all interest in sex.   
A hospital spokesman replied ...
"Mr. Maynard was admitted in Ophthalmology -

all we did was correct his eyesight."
Thank you Monica! 






Thanks Sharon

Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing
as well as she used to and he thought she
might need a hearing aid.

Not quite sure how to approach her,
he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal
test the husband could perform to give the
Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.


'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand
about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal
conversational speaking tone see if she hears you.
If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until
you get a response.'

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking
dinner, and he was In the den. He says to himself, '
I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.'
Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's
for dinner?'

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen,
about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg,
what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where
he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks,
'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again he gets no response.

So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about
10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her.
'Peg, what's for dinner?'



(I just love this!!)
'Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'
Thanks Kim at Millie's Mats 












If you watch this you will roll on the floor laughing to death!





Thanks Kelly




 ENGLISH LESSON
No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that's easy to understand.
Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.
I beg to differ because there is:
When you marry the right woman, you are "COMPLETE"!

And when you marry the wrong one, you are "FINISHED"!

And if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ... "COMPLETELY FINISHED" !!

Thank you Ann at Snap and Edit


This is certainly great for anyone who has difficulty getting in and out of a car.

 
Wonder how long it will take to get this on the market in Japan and the U.S. ?

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

That dog will put up with his owner doing that to him and still love him/her. A spouse wouldn't. It might be better to have a dog.

Lots of laughs today! Is that car door thing for real?? I have to share that on FB.

BTW, I love that picture of the macaque. He was the wallpaper on my computer for a couple of months last year. What a beautiful creature he is!

Ginny Hartzler said...

Happy weekend my friend!! Thank you for a hilarious post again. That hearing story is brilliant. Poos little doggy with his boots.

Have a lovely day!!

Catherine said...

Dear Sandie, This has been a hectic week and you always make me smile!!
I just love the picture of the little bulldog, soooo cute!
I love the "what my mother taught me"
I remember 99% of all those sayings!
You are the bestest.
Blessings and hugs, Catherine xo

Cheryl @ TFD said...

I felt sorry for the poor pup! I'll bet I've said every thing on your list at one time or another when my kids were growing up! Haha! And I'm sure they were said to me, too. Enjoy your Sunday!

Self Sagacity said...

Fridays are pretty awesome, but the days go by too fast anyways.

Jim said...

Hi Sandy ~~ I think we all regret not doing some things we would have liked to have done.

Your joke, 'Peg, what's for dinner?,' is a funny one. But I always fault the doctor. Why didn't he tell the guy he had a hearing problem?

And you cats are nice. I didn't do one this week again.

Love Of Quilts said...

Yea my mom taught me most of those.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

HI Sandie .. no cookies! Bliss!! Honestly what a lot of crazy thoughts here ...

Cheers and enjoy your week ahead .. Hilary

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

I like the fleas cartoon

Eat To Live said...

Hope you had a great weekend. Can't believe it is almost over already.

Lucy said...

Sandie, I must remember to call you that. Sometimes I need to remember not everyone takes a joke as it is meant, and it was not even a good joke. Things seem ok now. Love all of the jokes. Helps this old lady keep going.

jp@A Green Ridge said...

Oh, Sandie, how I NEEDED these! They made me smile and laugh out loud...something I haven't done in a month! Thank you for the kind words about my Sister,,,hugs!...:)JP

Marie said...

Love the fleas! Feel bad for the little chihuahua.:(
Love your lift and laugh!
I'm running behind!!!! lol

Savannah Granny said...

Love the things Mama taught me! I too, felt sorry for the little dog. It was obvious the dog was NOT enjoying that costume. In fact I think he was embarrassed!
The wrinkly puppy was so adorable, don't you just love "puppy breath".

Starry Dawn said...

Hi Sandie, sweet dear friend,
I love the video of the Chihuahua.
He looks so cute. I love dogs!
We have adopted a new kitten.
We call her, "Baylee."
She sleeps in my bedroom, and
keep me company all the time.
Our older cats are a bit upset.
It's wise what you say about mother's teachings.
Your wisdom talks like mom.
I truly enjoy visiting your
most amazing blog, my friend.
How long have you been living
in Atlanta, Georgia? I wonder.
It looks like you have lived
there for over a decade or so.
It must be so beautiful there...
Since you share so many good laughs, I guess you are always
in a good mood.
Thank you for sharing your love
and wisdom with the world!
I make plans to remain busy
with my dear animals.
I also make plans to adopt more.
I just can't live without
their love and caring ways.
Have a blessed time, Sandie
with those you love!
Thank you for joining me as
a friend in Facebook!
God may always bless you, dear!
Warm Hugs,
Starry.
