Saturday Smiles

Let’s keep it light today. A selection of jokes for your Saturday. One Saturday morning in Whyte’s Auction House the bidding was proceeding furiously and strongly when the Chief Auctioneer suddenly announced, ‘A gentleman in this room has lost a wallet containing ten thousand dollars. If returned, he will pay a reward of two thousand […]

Difference in Perspective

Another day, another extreme weather warning for Sulzburg. Why do I read these things? The weather app on my phone occasionally gives me alerts about unusual weather expected in my area. They are generated by the German meteorological service, so they have a feel of authority to them. What they don’t have is me taking […]

While The World Waits…

I spent most of Wednesday with CNN playing in the background as I worked. I wanted to know who was the winner in the US presidential election. I still want to know who won, but I am not listening anymore. I’ll find out when an announcement is made. Maybe Friday. At first I thought Donald […]

COVID Friday

It is Friday. I always like to end the week with something light and humorous. I leave it to you to decide whether jokes about COVID-19 are humorous. I wonder if this is a real product? If not, how long before it becomes one? Can you see a market for something like this? Me too. […]

How Embarrassing

My wife says these notices are most unusual – they display a sense of humor. That’s not something Germans are known for.

Don’t Get Excited!

That parcel isn’t for you. It’s for me. An early Christmas present. I should be excited, but I’m not – because I don’t know where it is. I ordered it online. Amazon of course. Partly because that is what you do these days, but mostly because I wanted it delivered to my home in Ottawa. […]

Slim Pickings

It has been my habit over the past eight months to share with you some of the best COVID-19 humor I could find on the internet. I figure we can all use a laugh these days. As the pandemic has dragged on, it has become more difficult to find images that make me smile, let […]

Saturday Smiles

A worldwide pandemic is nothing to joke about – but these made me smile. I hope you do too.

The Comedian

On Tuesday I shared my brother’s reflections on my mother and her quest to find her place in this world. In case you missed it, at 81 she decided her calling was to be a comedian. I didn’t know that at the time – she didn’t mention it to me. If she had, I might […]

Saturday’s Smiles

As promised, here are a few more images to make you smile. Once again, I have saved my favorite for the last. I was tempted to go with a few more, but decided to hold on to them for next week.
