A few funnies

Historians in Ireland have discovered what they believe to be the headstone of the world's oldest man. He was 193 and his name was Miles from Dublin.

How to warn someone not to hit their head:
1. Wait until they hit their head.
2. Say "Ooh careful"

As I grow older I reflect on my life, the folks I've known, the places I've been, and all the people lost along the way - and I sometimes think that being a tour guide wasn't for me.

Have you ever noticed that all the instruments searching for intelligent life are pointing away from Earth.

My mother used to say "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach". Lovely woman; terrible surgeon.

I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose clothing......
If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up to begin with.

I've been saying "mucho" to my Spanish friend a lot more often lately. It means a lot to him.

I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug.

Best.... Phil

Thanks Phil, humor is the best antidote for times like these. I don't think you'll mind if I repost these on my Facebook page to oppose some of the complaining and politicizing that has dominated recently.
A friend was recently told by his doctor he needed to exercise more and to try walking a few miles a day. Last postcard we got was from Arizona.

Besides Phil, we get our British humor on BritBox - currently watching episodes of “Would I Lie to You” but the other attraction is all those mystery shows.

All funny. I’m a big fan of dry humor, so the your tour guide offering is my winner.

This one : My mother used to say "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach". Lovely woman; terrible surgeon. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorites (from Demetri Martin): "Separate but equal" is a terrible education policy, but great eyebrow policy.

Great set! "Miles" and "Intelligent Life" are my favorites.

In a previous career, I’ve spent a lot of time standing in or beside highways. People would routinely stop and ask for directions. In an effort to keep the traffic moving, I would tell them “Go straight ahead, then turn left at the Dairy Queen.” I’ve often wondered whatever happened to those folks.

Great Jokes, Phil.

I especially like the one about exercise & loose clothing.

Reminds me of an old Groucho Marx joke.
Groucho: "Can you tell me where I can find the nearest chiropractor?
Receptionist: "Certainly, walk this way."
Groucho: If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need a chiropractor." :)

Really felt the need to laugh after hearing today's news. Thanks for sharing moments of 'attitude adjustment'.
