Monday morning writing joke: “A dark and story light bulb”
Q.: How many mystery writers does it take to change a light bulb?
A.: Two. One to screw the bulb almost all the way in, and one to give a surprising twist at the end.

Photo Finish Friday: “The Trojan catsup bottle”
[Editor’s note: Every now and then I will post a photo with a caption or a short poem or a bit of writing to it. You are free to make up own captions or comments.]
The invading force was hidden inside a giant Brooks Catsup Bottle.
There it was. The invading force was hidden inside a giant Brooks Catsup Bottle. He was sure of it.
“There it is,” David said to himself. When we go to sleep tonight, the alien invading force will unscrew the top of the giant bottle, sneak out, and cut the throats of all able-bodied males, slather the women in red ooze, and tie up the children with supersized french fries. Somehow, he had to muster the courage to tell the town’s people an invasion was coming and likely coming tonight, and that the aliens would be flowing out of the giant bottle like spilled milk. He didn’t relish all the derisive comments he’d have to face and maybe even a rotten tomato or two thrown at him. After all, this wasn’t the first alien invasion he’d been privy to. Or even the second. He didn’t call this the Condiment Wars for nothing.

Monday morning writing joke: “light bulb science fiction style”
How many science fiction writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two, but it’s actually the same person doing it. He went back in time and met himself in the doorway and then the first one sat on the other one’s shoulders so that they were able to reach it.
However, a major time paradox occurred and the entire room, light bulb, changer and all was blown out of existence.
Moral of this joke: don’t screw around with time.

Silly Saturday: Hor(r)o(r)scope for the day
Ripped from the horoscope headlines. Is this an editing typo or a premonition of things to….. Well, you decide:
“Pisces: (Feb. 20 – March 20) Don’t anticipate failure before you even give something a. You have as much chance of wining as you do losing.”
What is to be won? The missing word at the end of the first sentence? What is the Pisces person supposed to “give something a”? I have tried to figure it out, but have come up a failure thus far. I anticipate a no-win situation.
