Better Than Puns-Churchillisms

Posted on 17/03/2022 by Grumpa Joe

A favorite story about Churchill is when at a dinner party a member of the Labor Party’s (the opposition) wife said, “Mr. Churchill, you are despicable. If I were your wife I’d put poison in your whiskey. ”His reply, “Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it.” He always had an appropriate come-back.

Indians in the Hills

Posted on 24/02/2022 by Grumpa Joe

Last week I posted a bunch of puns stolen from the Indian Hills Community Center sign. One of my readers who shall remain nameless questioned where Indians Hills was. In my infinite wisdom and because I travelled a lot in my younger days I wanted to answer that it was in the Smoky Mountains at a Cherokee Indian reservation. Boy was I wrong. My guess was only two thousand miles off. To avoid being outsmarted by some clever reader I decided to look it up. That is so easy to do with all the search engines available. Add to that the number of ways we can connect to a search engine answers only take nano-seconds to come by. The answer is: The Indian Hills Community Center is in the town of Indian Hills, Colorado. Follow this link to their Facebook page.

The story behind the puns is very interesting. The punster is Vince Rozmiarek, watch this video interview to learn his story.

PSA-220216-Wisdom for the Ages

Posted on 16/02/2022 by Grumpa Joe

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless,

Be decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn’t make a decision.

Happiness is not having to set the alarm clock.

Getting another set of teeth would be much more useful at 60 than at age 6.

“The starting pay is $40,000. Later it can go up to $80,000.”
- “Great, I’ll start later.”

Trust science. Studies show that if your parents didn’t have children there’s a high probability you won’t either.

If you’re not called crazy when you start something new, then you’re not thinking big enough.

Only in math problems can you buy 60 cantaloupe melons, and no one asks – “What the Hell is wrong with you?”

“I’m 85 and my body is full of aches and pains.”
- “Well, I’m 85 and I feel like a newborn baby.”
“Really?”
- “Yep, no teeth, no hair, and I just wet my pants.”

When the pool re-opens, due to social distancing rules, there will be no water in lanes 1, 3, and 5.

Tip: Save business cards of people you don’t like. If you ever hit a parked car accidentally, just write, “Sorry” on the back and leave it on the windshield.
