Monday morning writing joke: “The butt of humor”

Two homeless guys are walking around the smoking area outside a hospital, heads down, stooping now and then to pick up the butts of cigarettes not completely smoked.

The first homeless guy picks up a butt.

The second homeless guy glances over and says, “Not that one. It’s unfiltered. Those things will kill you.”

[Editor’s note: This actually happened a few days ago near a local hospital. Sometimes life hands you a joke, complete with punchline and you run with it. And I will add this to that. The other day while downtown, I walked past a building. The glass front door read: “Non-smoking entrance.” To the right of the door was a bench and a sign that read: “Smoking area.” The smoking area was in front of a giant air intake grate for the building.]

Monday (morning) writing joke: “It depends”

Diapers

There many be some truth to this.

We will (with apologies to Shakespeare) call this: What’s in a name?

Query: Does anyone know why disposable baby diapers are called Luvs & Huggies, while old people diapers are called Depends?

Hypothesis: Cause if a baby poops in his(her) pants, you are still gonna Luv’em & Hug’em. But if an old person poops in his(her) pants, your love might Depend on if you are still in the will.

In honor of National Doughnut Day, June 7

There once was a man with doughnuts
who suffered so many, he had a glut
It was food for thought
about the things he ought not
as he packed another dozen into his gut.

Nature abhors a doughnut hole, so eat a doughnut and please Nature.

Limerick time: “Joy”

There once was a woman named Joy.
All her neighbors she did nothing be annoy.
Such a termagant!
Her hours were always spent
Haranguing all who came into her employ.
