Burning Questions of the Day

It's Friday. The end of the week. TGIF!  I know you just LOVE my Friday caption contest but it's been a long week and I'm really tired.

I thought you might be, too.

So rather than tax your brain with a lot of photos to caption, I'm going to wrap up this week by posing some very serious questions for you to ponder.

1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?

2. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know?

3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?

4. Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?

5. Why do we sing "Take me out to theball game" when we are already there?

6. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"?

7. Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected?

8. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?

Fear not. The Friday Caption Contest will return next week.

So...how are you spending your weekend?


I'm currently enjoying: Beaglemania by Linda O. Johnston

Groaner of the day: For a while, Houdini used a lot of trap doors in his act, but he was just going through a stage.

Friday Sillies - The Easy Way

Hey, it's Friday.  I don't want you to work too hard at the end of your long week so today's sillies are pre-captioned for you.  Just look, laugh, and enjoy.



Hope they gave you a laugh.  So...what's on your agenda for this weekend?

Groaner of the Day:  I was traveling to Seattle on business. Knowing how the weather is up there (and lacking the proper clothing), I went to a local outdoor shop for a inclement weather clothing. Not finding what I was looking for, I went to another. Then, another. Finally, a salesman suggested that I go to Rudolph's.

"Rudolph's?" I said, surprised. "Do you mean the Russian specialty store?"

To which the salesman answered, "Oh yeah. Rudolph, the Red, knows rain gear."

Too Funny Not To Share

Friday means something funny and this certainly fits the bill.  This came to me on a much forwarded e-mail.  I don't know who the gentleman is or where the talent show was held but I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself.  This will probably appeal to those of you who, like me, are a little older but I think everyone will enjoy it.



Reminders:  There's still time to enter my giveaway for a chance to win STAY TUNED FOR MURDER and REEL MURDER, books two and three in the wonderful Talk Radio Mystery series by Mary Kennedy.  Just go back to my Wednesday post Welcome, Mary Kennedy, enjoy learning a little about Mary, and leave a comment.  Be sure to include your e-mail address if you want to be in the drawing.

And there is still time to enter Maria Zannini's fantastic contest for a chance to win a manuscript critique.  Don't miss out.

Groaner of the Day:  I saw a great delivery contract offer the other day.  A water-garden company wants a load of frogs delivered, but they have to be delivered in a special bog-like container designed to fit in the bed of a pickup truck. They'll pay in food, which is perfect for me.  For each load delivered, the company will provide one enormous home-baked casserole with a crust of middle-eastern flat bread.

That's right: a pita pie per pickup pack of puddled peepers.

(Aw, come on, Maria.  I gave a reminder on your contest.)
