The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend.

New Words for 2016

These words are so joining our vocabulary in 2016!

Chairdrobe (n.): piling clothes on 
a chair in place of a closet or dresser.

Epiphanot (n.): an idea that seems like an amazing insight to the conceiver but is in fact pointless, mundane, stupid, or incorrect.

Internest (n.): the cocoon of blankets and pillows you gather around yourself while spending long periods of time on the Internet.

Textpectation (n.): the anticipation felt when waiting for a response to 
a text.

Unkeyboardinated (adj.): when you’re unable to type without repeatedly making mistakes.

After i-messaging back and forth with my wife, I jokingly commanded Siri to pass along this message: “You need to get back to work now; you have a husband to support.”

Here’s what Siri sent: “You need 
to get back to work now; you have 
a has-been to support.”


I support one of those too. woot

`````````````````````

Scene: A conversation with my friend’s father, who knows I do 
Web design.

Father: I have a business idea. How hard is it to make a Facebook?

Me: Oh, very easy.

Friend: He doesn’t mean to make 
a Facebook profile. He means to 
remake all of Facebook.

Me: Oh. Very hard.

Father: Oh, OK.


I wonder if it's as hard as giving my dogs a bath. lab

````````````````````

Gilding the lily is a job seeker’s birthright. Here are a few doozies, where the applicant claimed …

… to be a former CEO of the company to which he was applying.

… to be fluent in two languages—one of which was pig Latin.

… to be a Nobel Prize winner.

… to have worked in a jail when he was really in there serving time.

… he was fired “on accident.”


I died on my last job and miraculously came back to life when my shift ended. woot

`````````````````

When my coworker answered his phone, the confused woman on the other end asked, “Who is this?”

“This is Steve. With whom did you wish to speak?”

After a pause: “Did you just say whom?”

“Yes, I did.”

The woman replied, “I have the wrong number,” and hung up.

`````````````````

Librarians may be shy, but 
their patrons aren’t. Look at their oddball requests:

A patron offered me $100 to steal 
a cactus from somebody’s yard.

A patron wanted me to find a 
book to teach her dog German.

A patron on his way to the casino asked to rub my red hair for luck.

A patron once asked me for my home phone number so she could call me with reference questions when I wasn’t at work.


I wondered who dug up my cactus. taz

``````````````

A therapist has a theory that couples who make love once a day are the happiest. So he tests it at a seminar by asking those assembled, “How many people here make love once a day?” Half the people raise their hands, each of them grinning widely. “Once a week?” A third of 
the audience members raise their hands, their grins a bit less vibrant. “Once a month?” A few hands tepidly go up. Then he asks, “OK, how about once a year?”

One man in the back jumps up and down, jubilantly waving his hands. The therapist is shocked—this disproves his theory. “If you make love only once a year,” he asks, “why are you so happy?”

The man yells, “Today’s the day!”

`````````````````

A woman called our airline 
customer-service desk asking if she could take her dog on board.

“Sure,” I said, “as long as you provide your own kennel.” I further explained that the kennel needed to be large enough for the dog to stand up, sit down, turn around, and roll over.

The customer was flummoxed: 
“I’ll never be able to teach him all of that by tomorrow!”

````````````````

Just before the final exam in 
my college finance class, a less-than-stellar student approached me.

“Can you tell me what grade 
I would need to get on the exam 
to pass the course?” he asked.

I gave him the bad news. “The exam is worth 100 points. You would need 113 points to earn a D.”

“OK,” he said. “And how many points would I need to get a C?”

``````````````````

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


If the sun's coming up, then I'm going down. woot


Wait WHUT?? headscratch


Oh yeah tired.


Ahm tard tired


Very tard.


Bout to pass plum out..... sleep


Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning all, just here for a quick coffee and a toasted teacake (or is that too British for the diner?).

Hope you're all having a good weekend, whether you are dormant/comatose or hyperactive! catrub

Good morning Ana, Lex, Gerry, Connie, and everyboomie. wave2

Ana we have a massive storm system that we are once again right on the edge of. frown

I hope you get to go to Starved Rock with little James, and have lots of fun. woot

Lex toasted tea cakes are welcome in the diner any time at all, and so are you. thumbsup

Gerry I think I'll go for dormant and comatose myself today. snicker

Connie I have to admit a 'new closeout store' almost sounds like an oxymoron to me. lol

I hope you find some great deals.

I was able to sleep in till 7:00 today which is great, and I love how dark my new blinds keep it in my bedroom. hamster

Comatose or not, I still have to take my doggies to the park this morning. We didn't go anywhere yesterday. puppy

Have a super day everyone.

joe


Edit: Good morning SpaceQuest.

Good morning Gail. Have a happy day. wave2

I went to the park. We're overcast and in the 70s, but it was very breezy and feels cool and very pleasant. penguin

I see we're getting a little rain now. I hope it multiplies. yay

Glad I mowed the lawn yesterday. bravo

Now for a day of relaxation. hamster

Interrogator: [True or false?] All mangoes are golden. Nothing golden is cheap. Conclusion - all mangoes are cheap.
