Cleverness Comes Out In Times Of Crisis

If you're anything like me your email transactions have picked up immensely in the last couple of weeks. My inbox is constantly being replenished with emails ranging from Biblical phrases to XXX forwards. Mostly I'm the beneficiary of cartoons. For example, 'What's the biggest insult you can give a person these days?'. Answer: Eat a bat.

I had a friend send me a note the other day about how he was handling the boredom. He stated he was going to start watching porn but at the last minute remembered he gave that up for Lent. I think it was supposed to be a joke.

I'm getting quite a few animals loving their Masters forwards. A website title Woof has a video of pooches loving their owners(or is it the other way around). https://woof.website/videos/  If you wish to read feel good stories about doggies go to 'I love my dog very much'. Some of the stories are tearjerkers about how people abuse their dogs but most are uplifting. I recently found out that 79% of the American families own a dog. What the hell is the matter with the other 21%?

Very popular among the internet folks are the cartoons. You know what I mean. 'Who would have ever thought the person who can change the world ate a raw bat', would be on the net.

As I stated earlier my emails revolve around prayers on one end and hooters on the other. It just goes to show I'm an equal opportunity friend.

Jokes are always necessary in times of crisis. Being an oldster and somewhat a student of history there was a cartoonist stationed the troops in Europe during WWII. His name was Bill Mauldin and his two main characters were GI grunts name Willie and Joe. These foxhole pals gave America a few laughs in those horrid times. The big brass weren't too happy with Mauldin's work but the American people loved it. End of story.

Another day and not much planned. The good thing is as soon as I place the period on the last word of this piece I'll flip to my inbox and there'll be twenty or so messages, mostly hilarious.
