Sunday Funnies: Jan 15

Posted in humorTagged ,

A rerun of my dad’s humor cards. I laughed all over again when I found this one – the very first one I posted on 11/21/2021

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories he heard, found or saw and then 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.

Things I Learned as a Child

  1. No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats.
  2. When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let your mom brush your hair.
  3. If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
  4. Never asks a three-year-old to hold a tomato.
  5. Whether she’s real or not, you should believe in the tooth fairy if you like money.
  6. You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.
  7. Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.
  8. Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
  9. Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a tic tac.
  10. Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time.

      2. Same here, Brenda. I definitely missed these the first time around, but they’re hilarious! And for the record, I can confirm the dog/tic tac thing. 😃

  4. Yippee for re-runs! I can testify to a few of these…most of all the dog? Not capable of ‘watching’ the food? Oh yes…I have a story to share and I’m sure there are zillions of others out there about crafty, creative pups! xo! 😉

  16. My favorite was the “they always catch the second person” 🙂 It made me wonder about the “other endings” I’ve heard for the “early bird gets the worm” which sometimes ends with “but the second worm doesn’t get eaten” or “the second mouse gets the cheese” 😀

    1. Ha, ha, ha – those are good ones. I’m a big fan of #1 – no matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize a cat. It just resonates with the times (although not for many years) that I’ve tried to bathe a cat…. 🙂 Thanks for the comment, my friend!
