Silly Joke Friday

Silly Joke #1

Billy Bob and his wife and son from waaaay out in the sticks finally decide go to the “big city” to a major hotel. When they get into the lobby, they are directed to the front desk to check in. While the wife is takin’ care of “the paper work,” Billy Bob and his son walk around the lobby looking at the amazing things there. One thing that catches both of their eyes is a recess in the wall with a crack down the middle. Just then, an elderly woman walks up, pushes a button next to the recess, and the wall opens up to a small room! She walks in and the wall closes, while lights above the secret doors flash along the top. They begin flashing in the other direction, and moments later the wall opens up and a shapely beautiful young lady, incredibly dressed, sashays out, walking by the man and his son both of whom’s jaws drop as she passes by. Billy Bob says the man to his son… “Son, go get your mother immediately!”

Silly Joke #2

A lonely 70-year-old widow decided that it was time to marry again. She put an ad in the local newspaper that read: “Husband wanted! Must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me and must still be good in bed. All applicants please apply in person.” The following day, she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman sitting in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs. “You’re not really asking me to consider you, are you?” the widow asked: “Just look at you — you have no legs!” The old gent smiled: “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!” “You don’t have any arms either!” she snorted. Again, the old man smiled: “Therefore, I can never beat you!” She raised an eyebrow and asked intently: “Are you still good in bed?” The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said: “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”

Silly Joke #3

A gorgeous blonde named Sally had been waiting entirely too long at the doctor’s office alone. Her appointment was for 9:00 and it was nearly 10:30. Finally, an attractive male nurse appeared at the waiting room door and said, “Sally, let’s go get a room.” “Honestly, I appreciate the offer,” she said, “but I’ve been waiting so long now, I’d hate to lose my spot!”

Bonus Silly Joke (NSFW: For Adults only)

Three couples go camping and one couple forgot to bring their tent. So they decide the men will sleep in one tent, and the women will sleep in the other. In the middle of the night while Larry was sound asleep, John whispered, “Bob, look at this bloody erection I’ve got. It must be all the fresh air. I’m going over to get my wife and go into the woods.” Bob whispered back, “You want me to come with you?” John whispered somewhat angrily, “Why the hell would I want you to come with me?!” Bob says, “Because that’s my cock your holding.”

Taking This Year Off From Holiday Decorating…

As we enter yet another holiday season of ghosties and ghoulies, turkey feasts with all those fixings, and the birth of Jesus Christ along with Santa’s arrival as well, I made the difficult choice this year to do something I haven’t done in over eight years, and that’s to not decorate at all during any of it.

For those who know me, I tend to go all out during the holidays in the way of decorating. If you were to drive down the street I live on during the month of October in prior years for example, you’d always see my entire front yard lit up with festive Halloween decorations. The same has been true mid-November through the beginning of January with tons of brightly lit Christmas decorations. All in all, between set-up and take down and making sure things stay lit and functional, the time and energy it encompasses has always been a huge undertaking in my life.

This is precisely why I’ve decided to take a break this year. To put it simply, I’m worn out. Between my ongoing health issues, this pandemic, and struggles in my relationship, I decided it was more important to take care of myself this year and reduce my stress level by refraining from holiday decorating. The last few years especially, holiday decorating has brought me an incredible amount of stress. Decorating for Christmas alone for example takes me at least two weeks of time for set-up and an entire day for takedown. There’s also the constant monitoring of it when it’s lit since things always seem to burn out. Sometimes there’s even been vandalism I’ve had to deal with causing me even greater stress.

This isn’t any sort of “Bah Humbug” syndrome, as I do plan on still honoring the holidays in different ways this year as compared to years past. I simply feel it’s important for me to take this year off from doing a task in the hopes it will not only give me a reduction in holiday stress, but also to bring forth a motivation to do it again in the future.

For as much as I do have sadness that all my lights and figurines and cheerful holiday adornments will remain in storage and dark this year, I feel it’s something I need to do to take care of myself, as I truly am struggling in my life right now just to keep going. Holiday decorating isn’t a necessity but taking care of my health is.

While I plan on appreciating other homes this year who do decorate this holiday season, hopefully, taking this year off from doing any of my own decorating will allow for a far more stress-free holiday season than what I’ve experienced in years past and maybe even experiencing a peace I haven’t been able to achieve in holidays past.

Peace, love, light, and joy,
