Tell me something funny.
This week is shaping up for many of us to suck pretty bad, lets share some funnies.
Can be something funny that happened recently, something funny, you saw/heard, etc. Just has to be funny.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Tell me something funny.
Ellie, our 5 yo cattle dog, has recently gone on a diet. Due to her back injury, her activity level hasn't been as high as it usually is, and now her diet needs to be adjusted a little, she needs to drop a few pounds. So we cut back her food, and are supplementing with some steamed frozen mixed veggies. We started this like a week ago.
Well around the same time, we noticed that Diesel (our 3 yo mutt), was just nosing around his food, wasn't eating as much as usual. Which is crazy, because he usually eats like a beast. One afternoon, I filled up both of their bowls, set them down in front of each of them. Diesel literally looked at Ellie's bowl (with veggies in it), looked at his bowl, then looked at me.
I was like "shut up, do you want veggies too?" I sprinkled a few in his bowl, and he scarfed it all up like usual.
Apparently people food is people food, and if Ellie was getting some people food, then he wanted some too....
silly pups.
My wellness professional seems to think it is necessary to provide us with healthy eating suggestions. They are such gems like:
Usual Food: Soda Healthier Replacement: Water
and
Usual Food: Ice Cream Healthier Replacement: 0 or 2% Greek Yogurt
I found that one particularly hysterical- because it is so far beyond common sense (like the soda: water one) that is is absolutely insane. I don't want Greek yogurt normally, I especially don't want it instead of ice cream.
Stand up for something you believe in.
agreed. it's a good replacement for sour cream, that's about it. I'll never be one of those people who can just eat it plain, blech!
LOL! How dare you give Ellie people food and not Diesel!
And greek yogurt is disgusting no matter how you slice it.
I don't have any funnies...I just wanna eat me some chocolate.
At Christmas time when you would ask my niece what an Angel says she would sing really softly "aaaaaahhhh". It was hilarious.
Oh and also. My grandfather is in a home for dementia, as most of you know, and my dad's one brother made him an album with photos of his family. It says stuff like, "I have four sons." "My wife Arlene is deceased". and then has a name and description and photos.
Well my dad is not listed, neither are my mother and I, and there are no photos of us in said book.
My mom made the offhand comment, "Guess we didnt make the book!"
And my Grandpa responded, "You don't want to be in that crazy damn family anyway."
LOL.
OMG. That is freaking hilarious. Dementia and all, I think I love your grandpa
My mom, sister, and I went to New York over the long weekend and went to Madame Tussauds. Enjoy our craziness. Most of it is my sister being a ham.
This is more funny ironic than funny haha:
My mom turns 50 in April, and she and my stepdad have been planning a trip to Hawaii for the occasion. They booked their cruise Friday night. And woke up Saturday morning to the overturned ship in Italy.
Is that not terrible?!
That. Is. Hilarious!
Aww, your poor mom and step-dad! We've been considering booking a cruise for our anniversary with friends and this happened and now Kirk is refusing. haha. We went on one for our honeymoon though and we had evac drills every 3 days of the 9 day journey, so I feel like the crew of that boat was already doing something wrong... plus, with a wreck that large and only 15ish people dead... this is morbid, but better odds than an airplane.
Stand up for something you believe in.
They've been on cruises before and are pretty seasoned travelers, so they're not worried about it. My mom even said "what are the chances." It was just one of those well-of-course things.
