    Are these for real! Quite a collection Thanks for the joy of
    humorous laughter, this is a keeper to recycle. By the time I got to the Italian sofa, I thought I was laughed out, that one
    brought a roar. The last one was, Oh! Boy, The honeymoon
    is over———-Thanxs

  2. Donya says:

    Thanks Sid ! I was wondering where you had gotten to. These are a riot, especially the one about the parachute.

  3. felines says:

    Those are great. Someone sent me a picture of a septic tank cleaning service's truck — the license plate was POOPUMPER.

    How bout this one from a small town radio on-air 'Swapmart' . A farmer called in to sell 20 ewes of his herd . They put him on the air and he says " I got 20 EEE-WEES for sale" . True Story .

  14. Lilliput says:

    Nothing like a good daily chuckle..the Elmo one is my favorite…..here's one for you.

    My local paper:
    Found:one small terrier mix..about 8 pounds..female…golden red with white paws..one gold eye, one brown….
    …..call to identify.

    Those reminded me of a classic ad which once appeared in the Village Voice newspaper in Greenwich Village:
    "After seven years of careful preparation towards being a concert pianist, I am now prepared to offer my services as a baby sitter".
    I guess he flunked the audition. LOL!

    So cute. I advertised for homes for a litter of kittens this way:

    My momma was the neighborhood hussy and papa was a rolling stone, we need homes, papa is not paying child support, we cannot locate him. He must be cute, cause I sure am!

  17. havasnana says:

  18. Cranky says:

    These were absolutely wonderful. And ever so Senior.

    When I was younger, I was driving by a Church in Indiana, and I swear, the sign out front read: "Do You Know What Hell Is? Come Hear Our Organist".
