Jokes, for a change...

` ...While I have plenty of planned blog material, that would actually take some time to make into a finished product. But, there's this 'fast and cheap' way of taking pre-fabbed material from emails and putting it up.
` For once, I actually thought that some recent 'Joke of the Day' material was good enough to share with other people, so I thought I'd show my loyal readers! And of what sort are they? First off, I have some proposed lesser-known scientific laws of sorts!
` Please tell me if any of them sound amusing to you!!

Light travels faster than sound...
...this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

When you go into court...
...you are putting yourself In the hands of 12 people...
...who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Change is inevitable...
...except from a vending machine.

Those who live by the sword...
...get shot by those who don't.

The things that come to those who wait...
...will be the things left by those who got there first.

Flashlight:
A case for holding dead batteries.

The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.

If a deaf child swears...
...does his mother wash his hands with soap?

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself...
...is it considered a hostage situation?

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?
Are they afraid someone will clean them?

How do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs?

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

If you try to fail...
...and succeed...
...which have you done?

Why is it called 'tourist season' if we can't shoot at them?

` ...Yeah, that's something I'm thinking now that it's tourist season! Anyway, as a bonus at no cost to you I have something even cooler; have you ever wondered what your state motto was? Not long ago, I was disturbed to find Washington's State Motto: "Say WA!"
` What the hell kind of state motto is that!?
` Anyway, here's a list of more palatable state mottoes, which actually become progressively more and more funny as you go along - that means, keep reading until you find one that really makes you laugh!

Wow! I must say that some of that actually was funny! And now I'm wondering, what was the best thing before sliced bread?

Those are really great state mottos, even though they largely have to do with stereotypes, I said, surrounded by slackers and nerds.

Spoony Quine said...

` Aha! Triumph!

Denny said...

Spoony Quine said...

` Kewl! To think I may actually come into some kind of not internet-based contact with Denny, a.k.a. apparent fan of urinals! (Well, they are useful!)

Denny said...

im not sure but i can never get the stupid pink soap to lather up in the sinks in public bathrooms. I must be doing it wrong?

Spoony Quine said...

` Eh, I personally think it doesn't lather up because it's so cheap and full of non-soap that it can barely be called soap at all!

Denny said...

wait. maybe its a mint ?

Spoony Quine said...

` It could also be a cake... hmmm. The only way to know is to take a bite....
