"Reigning Cats and Dogs" Posted 6 Dec 2020
the difference between dogs and cats is dogs have owners, cats have staff who's supposed to read the signs that say 'seeing eye dogs only' the dog? "i love cooking my grandma and cats" don't be a psycho, use commas men are like dogs happy to see you but have no clue why you're upset my cat wants to know why there is no mouse-flavored cat food in the stores? I spilled a little bit of spot remover on my dog now he's gone

i smile when there are no wildebeests on my porch no gnus is good gnus chewbacca was nominated yet again for wookiee of the year for city dwellers if you've seen one shopping center you've seen the mall show me where mao tse-tung was buried i'll show you a communist plot the guru refused novocaine to transcend dental medication eskimos rubbing noses potentially could contract snyphilis
[humor attribution - first two by Edmo Snord all others were found online, sources unknown] "Age Is Just a Number (Yeah, right!)" Posted 20 Dec 2020
age is just mind over matter if you don't mind it doesn't matter middle age when getting out of bed counts as your daily exercise advice to people over 50 keep an open mind and a closed fridge middle age is when a broad mind and narrow waist have exchanged places i may be old but I have the stamina of a man twice my age aging is like grammar you find the present tense and the past perfect don't call me old, aged, or senior i am 'chronologically endowed' i asked my grandfather if he wears boxers or briefs 'depends' he said
[humor attribution - first one by Jack Benny, the last four were from the book 'The Gift Of Age' by Richard Lederer. All others were found online, sources unknown] "English Class" Posted 27 Dec 2020
two frequent writing mistakes: pour spelling and badly grammar usage people who can't spell should go to remedial school ...just my too sense cut and dried clichés are a dime a dozen avoid them like the plague a useful tip for would-be writers: don't use no double negatives simile fun: time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana the teacher looked my way and said, "give me two pronouns" I said, "who, me"?

So witty, John! Cats really do "have staff" and both cats and dogs run from the vacuum cleaner. My condolences on the loss of poor "Spot." LOL Enjoyed! Hugs, Carolyn PS-when I was a little girl, I thought all cats were female and all dogs were male.

Carolyn, thanks for the fun comment! I used to think the same thing about cats and dogs when I was growing up... I wonder why? Glad this could bring a smile. Enjoy your day ~ John

I know the last one was done by comedian Steven Wright - I have a dog and a cat, and these all ring true to me!
