Once upon a time there were three nurses working hard during a world wide pandemic.

The first nurse worked for a privatized care home that focussed on profits. Equipment was sub-par. The food was bland. Staffing was always an issue.

The second nurse worked for a health agency that was contracted out by the country’s government to provide health care services. The medical equipment was up to date but not in abundance. The food served to patients was of a sufficient standard. There was adequate staffing most of the time.

The third nurse worked for the public sector hospital and was supported by the country’s nurses union. Equipment met strict standards and was well stocked. Food was fresh and well prepared. Staffing was never an issue.

One day a virus came across the first nurse wearing a paper mache mask made in a sweat shop in another country. The virus thought it would have a chance to get into the nurses lungs and procreate so it asked, “Excuse me nurse, please let me in.”

The nurse replied, “ Not through the mask above my chinny chin chin.”

The virus replied, “Then I’ll huff and I’ll cough and I’ll make my own way in.” The virus flu through the air and infected the nurse.

The virus then came across the second nurse wearing a medical mask that had to be re-used again and again due to limited supply. The virus thought that it could get into the second nurses lungs and procreate. The virus asked, “Excuse me nurse, please let me in.”

The nurse replied, “Not through the mask above my chinny chin chin.”

The virus replied, “Then I’ll huff and I’ll cough and I’ll make my own way in.” The virus flu through the air and infected the second nurse.

The virus then came across the third nurse wearing a fit-tested N95 medical mask. The virus thought that it could get into the third nurses lungs and procreate. The virus asked, “Excuse me nurse, please let me in.”

The nurse replied, “Not by the mask above my chinny chin chin.”

The virus replied, “Then I’ll huff and I’ll cough and I’ll make my own way in.” The virus flu through the air but was stopped by the mask. The virus waited on the mask patiently. A short time later, the nurse touched her masked while disposing of it in the garbage. Just as the virus thought the chance was near, the nurse washed her hands and the virus went down the sink never to be heard from again.

The End.

People who care about health and the health of others also care greatly in the health of the planet.

In breaking news this month, Roy from Siegfried & Roy died last week from Covid 19. Fortunately, Roy from this amazing blog by Roy is alive, well, and providing you with Blog Post #62. May this blog post find you healthy and happy.

Quarantines around the world seem to be easing. Good news stories of recovery and resilience are starting to come forward and bring hope. There’s also stories from the United States.

Around the World

Seoul, South Korea closed clubs and bars after a Covid-19 patient visited multiple night clubs. Authorities are now looking for 2000 people who may have come in contact with this person. Fortunately, it is only 2000 people that need to be tracked down, tested, isolated, and monitored.

In other related news; Ol’ MacDonald was forced to close his farm’s barn door after several horses got out.

Close to Home

Vancouver has started to ease restrictions on socializing and are allowing people to expand their circle of friends carefully. For some, that seems to mean, “Let’s meet at the park with 150 of our closest friends for hugs and kisses.”

My wife and I decided to meet with friends in an outdoor space with physical distancing.

These friends asked ‘the question’. “So, are you seeing Covid positive clients in your job?”

“Did I tell you I’m working on another book? It’s a novel that tells a story about a person that does stuff.”

Ambitious Life Goals Achieved

I had an odd new year’s resolution for 2020; Watch 36 movies from January until December. I enjoy watching movies and I had found I wasn’t really doing much of it. Ambitious goals are what I’m all about so I set out to watch 3 movies a month. With Covid – 19, I will be destroying that goal. I’m already at 24 movies at the time of this writing.

Words of Wisdom

1. Life is short. Hug your friends. (Well, don’t actually hug them. Make like you’re hugging them. Wish them hugs… or send hugs virtually through Zoom.)

2. Watch more movies. Watch The Gentlemen, Knives Out, and Parasite.

3. When in Rome…actually don’t go to Rome. Closed until further notice.

Get ready. Soon, I will be sharing information on the novel I’m working on. Stay tuned. For now, it’s time for the ending jokes. Stay calm and quarantine on. Enjoy.

Why do salons need to re-open during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Because they need to ‘flatten the curl’.

It’s Blog Post #61 and it’s all about getting back to enjoying life. Thank you to everyone who said they really enjoyed Blog Post #60. It wasn’t really for everybody… just those with a sense of humor. After that post, I had a big jump in sales of my book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside Wow! I guess people really are bored. I’m joking of course…it’s a great book. It’s the best book I’ve ever written.

I was actually going to stop blogging about the book but this recent boost in sales has me continuing this sales/marketing campaign locomotive. The train keeps a rollin’.

Off a Roll

My gym closed and with it went my discipline…temporarily. I’ve struggled the last couple weeks with workouts, diet, and procrastination. It’s now time to turn this quarantined cruise ship around. Through internal channels and the underground black market, I was able to acquire this treasure. It’s time to get back to work.

Covid-19

“This sneaky bacteria has really hit us hard. We need to find the right antibiotics to target the virus’s internal thermal exhaust port. Once the viral replication hits 1.21 Gigawatts, we’re going have big problems. No one knows this better than me. I saw it coming. When it wasn’t that big a deal, I said it wasn’t a big deal. I said it was a flu. As soon as it became a big deal and it was serious, I said it was serious and even used the word ‘pandemic’. You can’t teach this kind of leadership.

Masks are the answer. Only masks can kill this corona bacteria. Antibiotics made from masks and mask parts that have been processed in ventilators and then combined with unproven anti-malarial medications will allow us to reopen the economy again. That’s the only answer, folks.” – an unnamed world leader who cut funding to WHO.

Words of Wisdom

1. This won’t last forever.

What won’t last forever?

Exactly.

2. “When this is over and life returns to ‘normal,’ how will you feel about what you did (contributing, helping, assisting etc.)? I asked myself.

3. Do your best with what you have and the situation you’re in.

It’s time for the ending jokes. If you’re religious, may your gods forgive me. If you’re an atheist, bless you…and enjoy.

It’s 2020. The corona virus is spreading. Markets are crashing. Business is down. No sports. No concerts. Healthcare systems are getting overrun.

That’s awful!

Churches can’t even have regular gatherings and service. 

Well at least there’s some good news.

It’s Blog Post #60 and there’s not really anything else to do… unless you’re an ‘essential worker’. If you’re looking for information on the corona virus, just know that this blog has you covid.

2020 has been a crazy year and it’s only April. For this blog in this year, there was the amazing interview with the author of Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside in Post #57 and now I am excited to share my interview from last week with one of the corona viruses. So stay home and read this piece with one of the biggest headline makers of 2020… and also the corona virus.

Me: “Covid, Thank you for doing this despite your crazy busy schedule. I appreciate you finding time for me.”

Covid: “No problem and you can call me Cove or Covie. When I heard you wanted to interview me, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. You’re the best blogger/ writer I’ve never heard of.”

Me: “Thank you. What got you started with all this travelling and fame? What made you want to do this?”

Covid: “I always enjoyed the idea of getting out there more. Bats aren’t all that exciting. They don’t really go very far. They hang out and then they go fly around and eat and then they’re back in the cave hanging out upside down again. I just wanted more for my life. I really got started by seeing viral ads on social media and YouTube saying anyone could dream bigger. I thought, ‘Hey, I’m anyone. I can do that.’ The rest is history all while history is being made.”

Me: “What do you say to people who say you’re just bringing sickness and destruction?”

Covid: “I think us viruses are misunderstood. We want the same things you want. We just want to survive and multiply. I mean look at all the people who are washing their hands and disinfecting. We lost so many of us in the process. My best friend, Cora almost went down a sink drain last week. There’s been so many of us sent there. It’s been tragic. Here’s a picture of my aunt Vi just before she was taken out by one swipe of a disinfectant wipe.”

Me: “Cove. There’s been a lot of deaths on both sides.”

Covid: “True… if we’re considered ‘alive’ at all. It’s not our intention. We need to procreate just like you. Did you know that without us viruses, there wouldn’t be life as we know it? Back when I was in college with my Viral Internationally Regional University Scholarship, I learned that we viruses have had a huge role in the evolution of mammals, especially humans.

Me: “That’s true. Many of the protein adaptations seen in humans has been driven by viruses.”

Covid: “I know, right?”

Me: “Your journey has been a big story this year, second only to Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Have you read the book?”

Covid: “Yes. I loved it. Nurses are amazing people and the book was an absolute joy to read. I laughed out loud and even cried at times. I have been learning a lot about nursing the last while but I rarely see their faces.”

Me: “What advice (or Words of Wisdom) would you give to people who are struggling with your overwhelming impact on the world?”

Covid: “Our current form won’t last. Vaccines are inevitable for us viruses. We will do as you do…Enjoy life until our time is done. We viruses know an end is coming. Humans are intelligent, resilient and adaptable beings that can not be defeated. They always rise. Also, stop with all the handwashing and go hang out with your friends again.”

Me: “Thanks for doing this.”

Covid: “No problem. I really enjoy this blog. Have you got any new jokes?”

Me: “Yeah here’s a bit to enjoy.”

Have you heard of the new Corona Cruise Lines? 

No

Yeah, they recently decided to change their name.

___________________________________________________________________________

Have you heard that Canada are looking at voting for different people to be on the new five dollar bill? The front runner so far is Terry Fox. I did a write-in vote for Meghan Markle, our own Canadian royalty. Let’s get this to go viral. Who’s with me?

This is an April Fool’s joke, right?

 

*crickets*

It’s time for Blog Post 59. It seems that everything is shutting down and closing. No restaurants, schools, bars, coffee shops or sports. Fortunately for my readers, this rock and write show continues.  There’s a rumor out there that some sort of disease is causing all these shutdowns. It seems to have gone viral.

It’s almost Spring here in Canada and a time of change. My book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside is now out of my hands and it’s on to the next great project. What will that be?

Thank you again to everyone who supported my book. It was a challenge that was a lot of work… and a lot of fun.

Repetition is the key to success.

The Next Project

I have an idea for a novel so I’m looking to write a novel. It’s a novel idea that has been in my head like a novel virus. The plan is to write a novel, self publish it to critical acclaim, then write the screenplay, then have it made into a best-selling movie. Easy PC. I won’t let a little thing like never having written a novel or a screenplay stop me. That would be way too easy.

Once I’ve got a good start on my new book, I hope to share bits and pieces here and keep you up to date on its progress. It’s a little more than an idea at the moment and the plot and characters are just starting to take shape. You know it will have the humor that you come here for.

My wife and I just came back from a week on Vancouver Island visiting family and friends. I took this photo in my hometown of Port Alberni a couple years back. I call it The Bridge to “The Rest”. Repetition is the key to success.

Don’t Waste Time Wasting Time

Lately, I’ve really been working on not wasting time. It’s such a challenge at times. Social media, entertainment, and nonsense are so readily available. Resistance is everywhere… especially in the mind. I try to remember that:

Books and blogs don’t write themselves.

Languages don’t get learned through osmosis (despite the belief from some that it does).

The gym isn’t going to just give its gifts without paying the price.

Repetition is the key to success.

We’re all going to die and we’ll all be dead soon (this one doesn’t always help).

The challenge to really make the days, hours, and minutes count is difficult and unrelenting. Whenever I’m struggling with discipline and/or motivation, I do try to ask myself, “What would The Rock do?” and then I try to do half of that.

Healthy Eating

I was at one of my favorite sandwich shops that I won’t name… but it rhymes with Wubsay. The guy in front of me ordered his sandwich and when it came time to pick his toppings, he said, “Give me the works.

except jalapenos…

and no tomatoes…

or onions…

or olives…

and no green peppers.  That’s a true story…and don’t be that guy.

Words of Wisdom

1. Don’t Waste Time. Do the thing that you want to do now… after you finish this blog… and share this blog on social media… and buy Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside … and write a five-star review on Amazon. Then, do the thing you want to do.

2. Repetition is the key to success.

3. Wash your hands. Covid-19 is the worst virus to hit the planet since Covid-18. Do you remember that one?

No?

Me neither.

It’s time for the ending jokes. I’ve had so many good ones lately but unfortunately, they’re just not suitable for this wholesome blog. So, you get these instead. Enjoy.

I recently bought stocks that went up quite a bit. I was asked, “How did you know what was coming?” 

“I heard Warren Buffet banging on a garbage can.”

My friend: “I’m getting Fluevogs!”

Me: “There’s a vaccine for that.”

Bonus Baseball Season Preview

It’s (hopefully) almost baseball season again. Fans are buzzing about this upcoming season; almost as much as Houston Astros players in previous seasons.

My wife and I have our tickets to see the Seattle Mariners take on the Blue Jays. We’re going with friends and family and even though the expectations for these teams is low, it should still be fun.

Who knows what to expect this season? No one knows… unlike previous seasons when the Astros knew.

I have heard there is a petition to remove the “tr” from their team name.

Go Mariners! What do they need to do to win? Practice every day because… Repetition is the key to success.

No need to wait. It’s Blog Post #58…It’s time for a new blog, Zog, add ideas from a text, Rex, don’t need to be coy, Roy. Just listen to me…

Celebration Time

This past Friday was the book launch party for Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the completion of my first ever book. I was taken aback that so many people decided to come out and celebrate with me. My speech was as short and sweet as it needed to be. I didn’t see it as all that pragmatic to have me standing there all sloppy emotional. The celebration was still a lot of fun.

Also, a big thank you to everyone who said they enjoyed Blog Post #57 and found it quite funny. The comments about it being me “playing with myself” and that “it was funnier than your book” were not appreciated (but amusing).

People who haven’t read the book yet have asked me what my favorite story and/or favorite part of the book is. My answer is that it’s all amazing. If they continue to grill me, I say, “Well, there is a digital disimpaction one that’s quite good.”

“Eww, that’s a hard NO from me.”

“It was hard…hence the need.”

As I said to many people at the party, the book is not really what you’d necessarily expect. It’s a journey that’s told through my inner dialogue and comments (which are rooted in humor and sarcasm). There is a message and a story within all that humorous gold.

I took this photo of the beautiful flowers I was given by Viki, my wife’s aunt, to congratulate me on the book.

Q&A from the Book Launch Party

I was asked a lot of questions about the book and writing at the book launch party. I thought I’d answer a few of them here:

1. How did I decide to write this book?

It was the write time.

2. Were there problems with formatting and getting everything together?

Yes. I was halfway done the book and saw that Times New Roman was trending on Twitter. I thought, “What’s happening on that font? Sans Sarif they discontinue Times New Roman, I might have to re Calibri.”

3. Were there a lot of jokes that didn’t make the book?

There were some that weren’t good enough or that were too much for the book.

4. What’s one that was too much for the book?

I had one about pigs…P.I.G.S. ; Patients In General Surgery. Decided against it.

5. Is the book successful? Do I have lots of sales?

To me the book is a success. I’m proud of it. People who have read it have said they really enjoyed it. Sales have exceeded my expectations and they’ve continued long after the book was released. That’s success… in my book.

6. Am I going to write another book?

I’ve already started. I’ve decided to write a fiction novel. Nursing is a part of it but it’s not really about that. I’m going to try to tell a story that I want to tell.

Words of Wisdom

1. For Writers: Get an editor to look over your work. It saved me from myself. I recently read a novel where the story took place in 1977. The author wrote about the fall of the Berlin Wall and Whitney Houston songs amongst all the spelling errors, typos, and grammar issues. That book desperately needed an editor.

2. For wanna-be writers: The journey from wanna-be to writer requires action… actual writing. It’s simple but not easy. For those not knowing where to start… you just have to start. Then the magic of “anything can happen” can take place.

Everybody’s favorite ending jokes are here. These ones struck me as funny when I came up with them but now, I think they’re stupid. In other words, perfect for this blog. Enjoy.

Did you hear that it’s supposed to snow tomorrow?

No.

Did you hear that Kelloggs is down in early morning trading?

No.

Did you know that gold panning is making a big comeback?

No.

That’s because it’s all flake news.

BREAKING NEWS: WHO’s to say if the Corona Virus is a global emergency or not ?

As mentioned in my last post, I secured an interview with the author of Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Here, in Blog Post #57, I share the interview answers and all the amazing insights of book author, Roy G. Mundheim. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Me: “Thank you for doing this despite your crazy busy schedule. I appreciate you finding time for me.”

Roy: “No problem. When I heard you wanted to interview me, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. You’re the best blogger/ writer I know.”

Me: “Thank you. What got you started writing? I mean you don’t have any formal training or degrees or anything. What made you want to do this?”

Roy: “I always enjoyed writing, a lot more than reading actually. I always found it to be a great creative outlet. I had taken a couple university writing courses but never thought of it as an actual career option. I don’t think I would enjoy it or be as good at it if it was a fulltime career… and journalism would never be my thing. I really got started by seeing ads on social media and YouTube saying anyone could be a writer. I thought, ‘Hey, I’m anyone. I can do that.’ The rest is history all while history is being made. I’m also crazy funny and thought I should share that with the world.”

Me: “That you are! Was it difficult to get started?”

Roy: “Not really. There’s so much information on the interweb thing regarding building a webplace that I just started there. A person can learn to build a car, fix a house, speak a language, or write a book just watching YouScreen. It’s an awesome time to be alive. The difficulty was (and is) not getting distracted by crazy cat videos, Words with Foes, or Facebook meemees. If you can ignore that stuff, any task, skill, or knowledge can be yours.”

Me: “Where did the idea to write a book come from?”

Roy: “I had already written so many hilarious jokes in my blog and in articles that the volume of material was almost overwhelming. It seemed almost natural to turn them into a book. The idea really came to me watching a Peruvian movie called Soltera Codiciada. The main character had started a blog that became popular. She then decided to turn it into a book. I decided to do the same. By the way, I’m a huge fan of the photography in your blog. It is just so raw and real.”

Me: “Thank you. I’d like to ask you about your photography. It’s so inspirational.”

Roy: “I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to travel around the world. The many beautiful backdrops I have access to combined with amazing technology makes it difficult not to get great shots. I mean, look at this one from Shanghai I took in 2016. That wasn’t even a sunny day yet the colors just pop.”

Me: “What do you want people to get out of Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside?”

Roy: “I’d like people to get two things:

1. I’d like it to get people thinking about healthcare and its future. We can do better and set up a better system once we acknowledge that the current system is …well….’funny’.

2. Entertainment. I hope people enjoy it and find the ‘funny’, just like the blog.”

Me: “The book is such a great mix of funny and serious. I really enjoyed it. Tell me about ‘Words of Wisdom’ from your blog. Maybe you could share some with my readers.”

Roy: “Sure. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. People are going to be critical and some won’t like it but do it anyway. Got an idea? Get started… even if at first you’re like a dog with a boat.”

Me: “Haha. That’s so good. That’s why I love you and your work. Amazing. How do you come up with these jokes? It’s just so genius. Can you come up with one now for my readers or share a new one that we haven’t read?

Roy: “Sure.”

Me: “This, I’m going to Enjoy.”

Roy: “Pick a topic and I’ll make a joke. It can be nursing, languages, science, math, housing, cars, construction, sports, or anything. You pick.”

Me: “Ok. Cars. Try that.”

Roy: “Ok… Since I’m a writer and we’re both in Vancouver, you should call this blog post, ‘Interview with the Van-writer’.”

Me: “What the truck? How did you do that?”

Roy: “Now you may have taken this joke a little too car.”

*Insert High-Five here.

__________________________________________________________________

Me: “Not bad. Now do a math one.”

Roy: “I’ve sold so many books, I have had difficulty figuring out the profits vs. the expenditures. My wife said I should get help from her friend Dan, who is an accountant.

I said, ‘I don’t know him from Adding.’

 

“I could also combine those jokes by mentioning ‘Le stat’ but that’s maybe a bit too far advanced for the average general reader.”

Me: “OMO! Le Stat! That is so crazy good. Other level!! Hahaha. You are awesome. You’re my favorite writer of all time and so funny. Thank you so much for doing this.”

Roy: ” No problem. You run my favorite blog and there was no way I was going to miss out on this opportunity to be interviewed. All the best. Love ya.”

*Insert Hug here.

Happy New Year! It’s Blog Post #56 and the first of 2020. Thank you to everyone who purchased Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it… but you won’t.

I received a great message from someone who said “it wasn’t the ‘joke book’ I was expecting… in a good way. It actually had some seriousness to it which was really great.” That was nice to hear as I never intended for it to be a joke book despite the name… and all the jokes. Funny.

New Year’s Resolution Failure

In January of 2018, I set a goal of learning to speak Spanish fluently in two years. So where am I now? Well, I don’t speak Spanish fluently. That’s for sure. I failed in my quest and did not reach my goal. So, now what?

It’s not a time to give up. It’s time to get back to work. The truth is my Spanish has come a long way. It’s just time for some new strategies. I have joined a Meet Up group to exchange English for Spanish and will do that once a week. I will continue listening to Spanish Podcasts every day. I will watch Spanish shows/ movies on Netflix when I get the chance. The point is that I can’t give up… just because I suck.

Words of Wisdom

1. Just because you haven’t reached a goal or been able to accomplish something you hoped, doesn’t mean you can’t try a new strategy or increase your efforts and get it done anyway.

2. Watch the new Star Wars movie… once. It wasn’t very good. When I heard they were going to make three new Star Wars movies, I thought they might be good and make up for the three horrible prequels that were inexplicably made. There was A New Hope. I was wrong.  Thank ‘The Force’ they aren’t making any more.

2. Eating healthier is good for you and a very popular new year’s resolution. Someone recently said to me, “I hope you’ll have the heart to leave animals off your plate this year.”

”No, but I’ll get them off my plate as soon as I can.”

3. “Hazlo o no lo hagas. No lo intentes.”

It’s time for the ending jokes. Remember, these aren’t really real. It’s a ridiculous imagination meeting a lot of creative weird. Enjoy.

My wife and I bought a brand new 80” OLED 3D 8K VR TV. The first time we watched hockey on it, they announced that a viewer had won a 50” HD TV. My wife and I both looked at each other. Why don’t they make the prize a cassette walkman, or a dishwasher-sized outhouse, or Maple Leaf tickets, or a green dress (but not a real green dress), or a videotape of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker? What’s the person supposed to do with this mini TV?

___________________________________________________________________________

This requires a little knowledge of the Spanish language or click on the movie name.

I was searching for a Spanish movie to watch when I came across one called “Bread”. I started watching, but it was in English and all about Captain Hook.

___________________________________________________________________________

Announcement: I’m excited to say that I have secured an interview with the author of Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Look for the full interview in an upcoming Blog Post. 

George Michael Memorial Day is almost here and it’s my last blog post of 2019. It’s number 55. Thanks to everyone who supported the launch of my first ever book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Sales are through the roof . That’s if roof is a Yiddish word for twelve. I’m kidding… I made my wife buy more than twelve. The truth is I’ve sold tens of copies. Amazon Kindle even called to say that print demand for my book may cause them to run out of paper. No worries though… there are still areas of the Amazon where they need to get rid of more trees. I’m joking… There are no trees left in the Amazon.

Book Marketing

Even though I know nothing about marketing, I did have a strategy… that went out the window. I had plans and ideas that just never came to fruition for multiple reasons. Now, I’m done. Marketing was never the goal or the passion so it’s time to move on. I did have these cool business cards made and will pass them out when opportunity presents.

I’m also very excited to be planning a book launch party in the new year. If you live in the Vancouver area or will be here on February 7, 2020, come out and celebrate a crazy weird book, get it signed, and enjoy a beer like Florence Nighteng-Ale (inside reference from the book). More info to come or email me.

The Reviews are In

What people are saying…

“Nursing: The Funny Side is easily my favorite Roy Mundheim book” – Lesly.

I’ve received a couple e-mails from people saying they liked (not loved) the book. I received one e-mail where the person said they hated it. One other person said, “I never really got the point of it.”  There is no point. If there was, it would have been called, Nursing: The Point of It. I also had a couple readers say they laughed out loud. I’d call that mixed reviews.

Words of Wisdom

1. Don’t make jokes about climate change (See Amazon-Gate above). The earth is set to warm by 3.2* C by the year 2100 if emissions aren’t cut by a third. Well, I’ll be 125 years old then and probably wouldn’t mind the extra bit of warmth.

2. Buy the book that everyone is talking about. Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside 

It’s time for some ending jokes, the last of them for 2019. Thank Odin. Enjoy.

My wife said to me, “Damn. I hate when you’re right.”

“Oh wow. That’s a lot of hatred to be carrying around.”

_______________________________________________________________________________

I told my wife that I need a bigger and better stocking for this holiday season.

She said she didn’t know where to get it.

I said, “To really find a stocking worthy of me and what I deserve, go on Amazon and look under Camping Gear.” 

“What? Why?” 

“Because that’s where the sleeping bags are.”

_______________________________________________________________________________

Get your new years resolutions ready. It’s almost time. What’s your 2020 vision?
