A few Funnies for April

A forecast prior to the Nor'Easter that hit late Wednesday

Did you see the funny part? At first glance it may not jump out. Hint: Look at the writing that is in the purple area.

And, in a 7 day timeframe (counting back from the event that will happen tomorrow)

 

Too Funny - But Basically True

On FB Marketplace this morning - funny, but sadly, about right. We have such a housing shortage that it isn't funny.

 

 

First Day

For Cop Car :)

COVID-19 Memes

UPDATE 4/8/20: This was on FB today

I love one of Scary Yankee Chicks's posts that features memes that have been going around on FB. I will make you go to her page for the ones she has posted. Under the fold are a couple of different ones that I posted on my FB page

 

I Made a Funny

On a pellet forum, the question was, "I have been meaning to start this thread to get an idea what folks burned this year versus last year and how many pellets you may have left over for next year."

My answer, which got several "likes" and laughter emoji's:

I know I burned 6+ tons last winter. Let's see, this winter: I started with 5.3 tons. I purchased 5+6+27+15 and a few others probably - let's call it a 1.2 of individual bags. Then I bought 11 tons this spring. I currently have 12.7 tons. So 5.3+1.2+11 = 17.5. Subtract 12.7 and I get (hold on, I have to grab a cat because I ran out of fingers and toes, just gotta remember they only have 4 to a pad ) - umm 4.8 tons used so far this season. (Math is hard for this old brain )

Then someone pointed out that cats have 5 on their front paws if you count the dewclaws. Then I remembered that Fuzzy has extra toes, so I would be in trouble if I grabbed him first.

Probably had to be there, but a few people got a smile from my answer

 

Names

Thanks to Cop Car, I have found a completely useless, but fascinating theory on my name. If I use my former married name, I am the only person in the US with that name. And, there are only 164 people with that last name at all. I must know at least 20% of those people. I will admit that the spelling is a non-common variation and if I put in an alternate spelling, the instances rise.

However, what I do find funny (and perhaps accurate) is that according to the graphic, there are 1 or fewer. If I was the only person with that name on Dec 31, 2014 as of Jan 1, 2015, no one has it.

There are or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Now that I have gone back to my maiden name, it seems there are 188 people that would respond if it was called over the loudspeaker.

There are people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Of course this is non-scientific, not claimed to be accurate, and just uses statistics to estimate those numbers, so this means absolutely nothing except I had something to post.

Humor for the day

Seen on one of those electronic speed limit signs in Hillsboro, in a 30 MPH zone (it may, or may not, have been directed at me)

OMG Dude - Slow Down

This isn't NASCAR

Who says the cops have no sense of humor?

Team Names

This is for Cop Car, pertaining to her posts in the last two weeks. This is also to the The Weekend Pundit who had a post or two about this topic, but I'll be danged if I can find it again.

H/T to SIL in Derby who shared this on FN

 

Funniest Thing for a Long Time

Went with STBX to sign some paperwork pertaining to the old house this morning. When we were leaving the bank, he turned on his MP3 player. The first words sung to come out:

"He lies right at you, you know you hate that game . . ." (from Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper).

He couldn't change the song fast enough. Made my day!

That Feeling

 

I never get a cop follow me all the way home - after all, I (used to) travel 2 states, 3 counties and about 13 towns between home and work. But still, a sheriff has followed me a good long ways and even though I'm not doing anything wrong (well, duh, not speeding with him behind me), I get all nervous.
