When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Shane works in the deli department of a large supermarket chain, where he often finds himself in trouble. Just look at the notes management has supposedly written to him:
“Shane, stop putting Some
Assembly Required stickers on
the eight-piece chickens.”
“Shane, any free samples you
give must come from the deli, not electronics.”
“Shane, when a customer asks where to find a product, give them an aisle number, not directions to
Albertsons.”

I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when my squad leader barged in. He was holding a toothbrush, which he proceeded to use to scrub underneath the rim of a toilet.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Hazing the new guy,” he said with a grin.
“You do know that he could get ill from the bacteria on the toilet.”
His reply was quick and to the point: “You didn’t.”

Before beginning the service, our pastor read aloud a note he’d been handed moments earlier. “It says here that I should announce that there will be no B.S. tomorrow morning,” he said. He tucked the piece of paper into a pocket and added, “I’m hoping they mean ‘Bible Study.’”

While he was visiting, my father asked for the password to our Wi-Fi.
“It’s taped under the modem,”
I told him.
After three failed attempts to log on, he asked, “Am I spelling this right? T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-M?”

We’ve been over this before:
Stupid doesn’t play well on job interviews. Hiring managers wish these

It’s important that soldiers
learn from their mistakes; otherwise, they’re bound to repeat them at
inopportune moments. Here soldiers share what they’ve gleaned from
past gaffes:
• “I was cold” is not a sufficient
reason for being caught in the female barracks.
• Do not communicate with officers using only Madonna lyrics.
• Do not conduct live fire exercises at the general’s (unattended) jeep, even if it’s parked in an area clearly marked Live Fire Zone.
• Do not attempt to shave with fire.
• Do not use 27 packs of sticky notes to label everything in the barracks
so the general won’t have any questions during the inspection.

Events had left my son-in-

Response: I just have a normal house.
Post: I do not have patients for stupid today.
Response: Patience.

Good morning everyboomie.
Happy Thursday to you, happy Thursday to you, happy Thursday dear Boomies, happy Thursday to you.
The heat is escalating here in Southeastern Helloklahoma, but there's good news on the horizon.......if you're a polar bear.
The sun has entered a new phase or cycle, called a solar minimum, which means there are no sun spots, which means that a mini ice age is coming.
Shiver me timbers!
It will only last between 40 and 60 years. Let's see,
64 plus 40 Mmmmmm, they may have to jack hammer through the permafrost when it's time to lay this old man to rest.
Who knows, I may want to relocate to a warmer climate, like Bolivia, or the Sahara.
Have a happy day everyone.
