“Did you hear the one about the crow and the telephone pole. . .”

Francis Bacon

How are we to survive? Solemnity is not the answer, any more than witless and irresponsible frivolity is. I think our best chance lies in humor, which in this case means a wry acceptance of our predicament. We don’t have to like it but we can at least recognize its ridiculous aspects, one of which is ourselves.
Ogden Nash

“Did you hear the one about the crow and the telephone pole?
He wanted to make a long distance caw”

How do crows stick together in a flock?

So the first crow asks the second crow,
“did you hear the one about the two Buzzards?
“No” says the second crow, “what?”
“Two buzzards were on the side of a road eating a dead clown. The first buzzard turns and asks the second buzzard “does this taste funny to you?”

Why did the gum cross the road?
It was stuck to the chicken’s foot.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To prove to the Opossum that it could be done!

It is easy to determine if someone is committed to a cause or just involved.
Consider the case of the bacon and egg breakfast.
The chicken is involved, the pig is committed!


Why did Mozart sell his chickens?
Because they kept saying “bach bach”!

How do you keep a turkey in suspense?
I’ll tell you tomorrow!

When life get too serious,
too difficult,
too hard,
too sad. . .
just remember. . .
A little bit humor and laughter can make everything lighter,
happier. . .

Humor and laughter are good for the soul. . .

Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.

Psalm 126:2

    Very good Julie. There was a photograph in our morning newspaper of a crow seeing off an eagle somewhere on your side of the pond!

    I absolutely love the turkey joke and I’ll wait until tomorrow to hear the answer. 🙂 Happy Canada Day to you Julie – you can share in our celebrations and I’ll give thanks for my American neighbours on Saturday. Blessings.

    • oh Happy Canada Day 🙂 Lynda. . .”oh Canada. . .”
      I was so fortunate to be in BC a couple of years ago during both Canada as well as the 4th—it was a wonderful delight sharing in the celebrations of both our sister countries—!!!
      Happy Day indeed!!!!
