Funny Friday
Welcome to Funny
Friday in the Age of Covid.
Take a moment off, have a coffee, read the following, raise a smile and tell some friends.
Then my work will have been done.
One final comment: some risque humour ahead.

SOME HUMOUR:
Little Johnnie
was going back to school after the covid lockdown. First day of school, teacher
wanted to talk about how contagious Covid-19 is so she wanted to do a class
participation with her students and they had to come up with an example of the
word "contagious".
"Class, can
anyone here give me an example of the word contagious?" Little Johnnie
puts up his hand but the teacher knows better not to ask him so she sees little
Susie put up her hand.
Teacher:
"Yes Susie, what is your example?" Susie: "If you are closer
than one and a half metres to someone who is contagious with Covid-19, there's
a good chance you too can catch it." Teacher: "Excellent example
Susie. Anyone else?"
She sees once
again Little Johnnie put up his hand and the teacher really doesn't want to
pick him but to her amazement, no one else had their hands up so she had no
choice but to pick him.
Teacher:
"Ok Johnnie, what is your example?" Little Johnnie: "The other
day my dad and I were at the front of our house watching 92 year old Mr.
Hollstein painting his fence. My dad mumbled to himself 'It’s gonna take that contagious
to finish painting that fence.”

Best friends
graduated from medical school at the same time & decided that in spite of
two different specialties, they would open a practice together to share office
space.
Dr. Smith was a
Psychiatrist & Dr. Jones was a Proctologist.
They put up a
sign reading Dr Smith & Dr Jones Hysterias & Posteriors
The town
council was livid and insisted they change it-
So, the docs
changed it to read... Schizoids & Haemorrhoids
This was also
not acceptable, so they again changed the sign to... Catatonics and High
Colonics - no go
Next, they tried...
Manic Depressives & Anal Retentives
Then came...
Minds & Behinds -still no good.
Another attempt
resulted in... Lost Souls & Butt Holes -unacceptable again!
So, they
tried... Analysis & Anal Cysts -not a chance
Nuts & Butts
-no way
Freaks &
Cheeks -still no good
Loons &
Moons -forget it!
Almost at their
wits end, the docs finally came up with Dr. Smith & Dr. Jones Specializing
in Odds & Ends
Everyone loved
it..!

A friend got mad
at me for smelling his sister's underwear
I don't know if
it was because she was still wearing them or because the rest of the family was
there. Either way it made the rest of the funeral very awkward.

I just got off
the phone with a researcher in China.
He says it's not worth getting the
Covid-19 now as they are expecting the Covid-20 PRO to be released in September

FROM THE VAULT:
There once was a
child born missing an eye...
At birth the
doctors decided it best to give the child a wooden eye until the family could
afford to get the baby a nice glass eye.
Sadly the family
could never afford it. And the boy was bullied a lot in school over it and
eventually was taken out and home schooled. Everywhere he went he had stares
from people all around.
Finally at age
21 his brother turning 19 begged him to come to a bar with him and some
friends. He said "you're out of school now, ppl are more accepting of your
eye and you won't get made fun of I promise!" After enough convincing he
decided he would go. Still a virgin he was very hopeful of meeting a nice young
lady.
When they arrive
at this dance bar the man with a wooden eye found a nice low lit spot in the
corner. As he scanned the room he saw a girl in the opposite corner with a
really big nose! He thought to himself, maybe she feels like me and is just
tucking away herself. He really wanted to ask her to dance. After a few minutes
he conjured up the courage to ask her to dance. He makes his way across the
dance floor with his heart pounding and palms sweating he reaches her and
says...
"Heyyy ahhh
would.... Would... Would you like to go for a dance with me?"
The lady
responds "Would’n I!"
He replies
"Fuck you big nose!!"

A man, tired of
busy life in the city, moves to a house at the countryside, middle of nowhere.
After living there for few months, his nearest neighbour, a big, hairy guy living
few miles away, comes to visit him for the first time.
"There will
be a party tonight at my place, are you interested?", asks the neighbour.
The guy, already a bit bored of his quiet living, says "Okay, why
not."
"There will
be some dancing and singing there", informs the neighbour.
"It's okay,
I can sing", he answers.
"And know
that there will be heavy drinking too."
"That's not
a problem either, I haven't had a drink since I moved here."
"There will
be fighting too", says the neighbour.
"Uh, okay,
I think I can live with that", he says.
"And after
all that's been done, there will be some wild sex."
"Now that's
good, I haven't got laid in ages!", he says, getting all excited about it.
"So I can
count you in?", asks the neighbour.
"You bet
you can", he says enthusiastically.
"Okay, so
it's a deal. Tonight at my place", says the neighbour and turns to go away.
"Wait, one
last thing!", he yells after the neighbour. "How should I dress?"
"It don't matter, just gonna be the two of us."

LIMERICK OF THE
WEEK:
In 1914 Charles Merrill
opened Charles E. Merrill & Co in Wall Street in New York City, advising on
investment and wealth management. A few
months later, Merrill's friend, Edmund Lynch, joined him, and in 1915 the name
was officially changed to Merrill, Lynch & Co. Over the years the firm merged with others and
the name changed from time to time. In
1941, Merrill Lynch, E. A. Pierce, and Cassatt merged with Fenner & Beane,
a New Orleans-based investment bank and commodities company. The combined firm,
which became the clear leader in securities brokerage in the U.S., was renamed
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane.
Which was all to
the good for us limerickphiles in that it gave birth to a wonderful, and a
classic. Limerick that today is still worthy posting but which has been torpedoed
by the further name change of the business.
In 1958 the company changed its name to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner
& Smith. Winthrop Smith had been running the company since 1940 and it became the world’s largest security firm
Here is the
original limerick ruined by the name change:
In Wall Street a
girl named Irene,
Made an offering
somewhat obscene.
She stripped
herself bare,
And offered a
share,
To Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner, and Beane.
Gold.
Not the same
Irene as:
There once was a
girl named Irene
Who lived on
distilled kerosene
But she started
absorbin'
A new
hydrocarbon
And since then
has never benzene.
Not an exact
rhyme but still silver.

CORN CORNER:
Mary Poppins
decides to grow some vegetables. When she picks her crop in the autumn, her
carrots, potatoes, onions, and spring beans have all failed, but her
cauliflowers have grown a treat.
She picks them,
cooks some for Sunday lunch in a cheese sauce, and they taste wonderful.
After eating
them for a week she notices two things. Firstly, her lips are full and glossy,
unchapped, uncracked, and require absolutely no lip gloss to make them look
full and pouty.
Secondly she has
really awful bad breath and even her cat won't come near her.
Pleased with her
lips, however, and spotting a money-making idea, she contacts a big cosmetics
company and explains about the lip-enhancing qualities of her cauliflower crop.
After a month of
testing the company buys the entire crop of cauliflowers for a phenomenal
amount and requests that Mary grow some more as soon as possible.
The company
proceeds to make lipstick out of them but experiences problems in the the final
product manufacture. The lipstick does not gel correctly into a solid stick and
ends up crumbling upon application. Quality controllers also find that, even as
a lipstick, the bad breath remains and have to put it down as an unfortunate
side effect.
As they are
nearing their production deadline and adverts for this new wonder lip enhancer
have hit the streets, the cosmetics company has no choice but to produce the
packaging with the following caution.
Poppins' Pop-up
Lip Enhancer:
SUPER CAULI,
FRAGILE LIPSTICK - EXPECT-HALITOSIS

Two factors that

A few years ago,

We still haven’t

A blonde named
Edna had to appear in court as a witness in a lawsuit. The prosecutor asked her,
"Where were you the night of 5th September?"
"Objection!"
said the defense attorney. "It's irrelevant!"
"Oh, that's
okay," said Edna from the witness stand. "I can answer that
question."
"I
object!" the defense said again.
"No,
really," said Edna. "I don't mind giving the answer."
The judge ruled:
"If the witness insists on answering, there is no reason for the defense
to object."
So the
prosecutor repeated the question: "Where were you the night of 5th
September?"
Edna replied
brightly, "I don't know."
