***THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD***

Festival of Smoke and Mirrors Day

When : Always March 29th

Smoke and Mirrors Day is a day of illusions. The term "smoke and mirrors" means something is not really as it appears to be. People often put up smoke and mirrors to hide something.

This day is also referred to as the Festival of Smoke and Mirrors. We did not discover an actual festival of this nature. But, who needs historical facts to have fun an a special day? Let's get out and enjoy Smoke and Mirrors Day to the fullest.






A large jet plane crashed on a farm in the middle of rural Kentucky. Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended on the farm in force. By the time they got there, the aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hull left smoldering in a tree line that bordered the farm.

The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but could find no remains of anyone. They spotted the farmer plowing a field not too far away as if nothing had happened. They hurried over to the man's tractor.

"Hank," the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. "Did you see this terrible accident happen?" "Yep. Sure did," the farmer mumbled unconcerned, cutting off the tractor's engine. "Do you realize that is Air Force One, the airplane of the President of the United States?"

"Yep." "Were there any survivors?" "Nope. They's all kilt straight out," the farmer answered. "I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning."

"President Obama is dead?" the sheriff asked Well," the farmer
grumbled, restarting his tractor."He kept a-saying he wasn't...

But you know how bad that sumbitch lies...*

If I may suggest a revision, Ern...

Hope they don’t fill the pools with 1/2 burned bodies wa-wa from the Ganges...

I have a print of that over my desk at work, and I get comments now and then. And usually a fair amount of chuckling. First they think “Oh, a mushroom cloud!” Then they look closer and see it’s a pouncing kitteh. It’s a good one. I like the cat shooting the machine gun, too.

I keep them on my profile page so they’re easy for me to find when I’m posting. Your Zot Pics are great. I’ve been known to get on a Zot thread just to grab new pics.
