Sunday Funnies: April 17

Posted in humorTagged

Another installment from my dad’s humor cards.

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories or observations that he typed onto 5×7 cards. Then he wrote in the margins when he used that particular item. His humor was often an easy way to settle in to something deeper – by laughing and thinking about the buried truth in these little nuggets, it paved the way to an open heart.

When we cleaned out his desk after he died 7 years ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on this stack. I pull it out regularly to have a little laugh with my dear Dad. Now when I post one of them, I write my note next to his and it feels like a continuation.

Thoughts for Pondering

There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn’t get worse every year.

Anything free is worth what you pay for it.

It hurts to be on the cutting edge.

I don’t get even, I get odder.

I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got around to it.

I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

A day without sunshine is like night.

I am not a perfectionist. My parents were though.

It’s frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the question.

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

And my own addition to my dad’s list of things to ponder:

When everyone moves to Bitcoin, what will we throw in wishing wells?

  4. Oh these are precious and funny. Love them all. So true about the fat cells and procrastination! 😆 The sunshine and night one is also profoundly true.

    Happy Easter Sunday!
