In honor of "National Joe Day"....heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Joe: "The United States has traded an American POW for five Taliban prisoners. Originally, the deal included Joe Biden, but the Taliban said no." –David Letterman "After discovering a new dwarf planet orbiting the sun beyond Pluto, scientists have named it '2012 VP113' or 'Biden' for short. Scientists say they chose the name because the planet, like Biden, is pretty far out there." –Seth Meyers"President Obama said that his strategy for foreign policy is to be patient and determined. Which is also his strategy when it comes to Biden's bedtime." –Jimmy Fallon "On...

You were saying, Starbucks? Dennis Miller - Just ordered a black coffee at Starbucks and was informed that "de-creamed" was the preferred term.~~~~~~~~~~~~With the best intentions, Starbucks recently launched a new campaign to get people talking about race. The campaign was promoted by their CEO Howard Schultz and involves a barista writing #RaceTogether on your morning cup of coffee and engaging you in a conversation about race relations.Now, that might’ve sounded like a good idea in the boardroom, but the reality is people aren’t at their best in the early morning before they’ve had their cup of the strong...

The Paperless Future - Emma!! The small, family owned company I work for, is trying to go paperless. Not for environmental reasons, just because they don't like paper, and want to move into the age of technology. So, they are pushing hard for us to do every thing digitally and electronically now. Is it me, or is that a bit extreme, considering the mom and pop shops that we deal with, and how many of those customers won't be "digital" or may not even be electronic savy? Somehow, this logic is lost on our new management....which is the younger generation...

A man takes a balloon ride at a local country fair. A fierce wind suddenly kicks up, causing the balloon to violently leave the fair and carry its occupant out into the countryside. The man has no idea where he is, so he goes down to five meters above ground and asks a passing wanderer: "Excuse me, sir, can you tell me where I am?"Eyeing the man in the balloon the passer-by says: "You are in a downed red balloon, five meters above ground." The balloon's unhappy resident replied, "You must be an economist." "How could you possible know...

Blame Someone Else Day When : The first Friday the 13th of the year What a great time you can have on this day. Imagine all the problems, errors, and mistakes you could heap on someone else today. On this day you don't have to take responsibility, or the blame, for any faux pas on your part. On the downside, this day comes as a double edged sword. While you are busy putting the blame elsewhere, someone might just be putting the blame on you! So.......if the is somethin wrong whif the spellin of this artickle, it's not my...

Lame Duck Day When : Always February 6th Hey, today is everything it's quacked up to be. Lame Duck Day is set aside to give recognition to people whose tenure in a position is running out. Okay, so you are probably thinking that a "lame duck" is a duck with some sort of injury. If only that were the reason for toady! Rather, a "Lame Duck" by human, definition is a person who is in a position of some kind, and will soon be "shown the door". The best example is an incumbent politician who lost in the November...

Tomorrow is Beer Can Appreciation Day When : Always January 24th   Now here's a day that I can really get into! Actually, I can "get into" the stuff inside even more. What this author really appreciates, is a beer can that is full and icy cold.Beer Can Appreciation Day celebrates that great day in 1935 when beer was first sold in cans.   Okay, laugh if you will. But, believe me when I say that Beer Can Appreciation Day is a big and important day to many people.   A lot of people do not know that there's...

<p>In a surprise last minute announcement, the White House has revealed that President Obama will live tweet his own State of the Union address before Congress Tuesday night. Spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed that the president will have a smartphone with him at the podium in the House chamber so he can make real time comments on Twitter as he delivers his nationally televised speech.</p>

France is mad at Obama for not being at the Charlie Hebdo rally. He tried to go but didn’t make it past airport security. It’s messed up when your president fits the profile.

I was sitting at a long stoplight yesterday, minding my own business and patiently waiting for it to turn green even though there was no on-coming traffic. A carload of bearded, young, loud Muslims shouting Anti-American slogans with a half-burned American Flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car and a "Remember 9-11" slogan spray painted on the side was stopped next to me.Suddenly they yelled, "Allah Akbar! Praise Allah! Death to America" and took off before the light changed. Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and...

One day an old German shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep s*** now!"Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around here?"Hearing this, the...

I am thankful for the Friday Silliness Thread....especially when it comes early......(like on Wednesday, because Friday most people won't be around, because they'll be recovering from Thanksgiving....or worse......shopping!) So...here is some Thanksgiving humorHorn of Plenty When a music student brought his French horn to my shop for repair, he complained that the instrument “felt stuffy” and he couldn’t blow air through it. It’s not unusual to find partial blockages in brass instruments if small items get lodged in the tubing, but when I tested the instrument, the horn was completely blocked. After much probing and prodding, a small tangerine dropped...

“If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies, ok? … lack of transparency is a huge political advantage and basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically, that was really, really critical to getting this thing to pass.” 18 visits over a 5 year period, and Obama doesn’t know who he is? Obama on March 28, 2011: Univision Town Hall:  “Well, I think it is important to remind everybody that, as I said I think previously, and I’m not a king. I am the head of the executive branch of...

Flashback Friday Since I completely spaced out doing the OFST this week, I'm pulling from my archives. Enjoy!!! Puns & Other Word Play Many see puns as cheap humor, one-liners, or groaners, despite their prevalence in our culture. They are most often seen in the names of businesses, or advertising. Others, like the writer Jonathan Swift, see them as a challenging art form, where one shapes words like a cobbler bends leather. 'Punning is an art of harmonious jingling upon words,' said Swift, 'which, passing in at the ears, excites a titillary motion in those parts; and this, being conveyed...
