Friday Sillies #5

The weekend is here. Technically not for some, but I celebrate the fact that my weekend has kicked off.  There is no better way to start the weekend, other than with some good old belly laughs.

Here’s a bit of an interesting fact, did you know laughter can help you to lose weight? Seriously, according to what I’ve read laughing 10-15 minutes every day can yield in 1-4 pounds of weight reduction annually!

That doesn’t sound like much, but after you hit 30 your metabolism slows down and you could find yourself accumulating an extra 10 pounds by the time you hit 40. Does this mean, by the time you’re 50 you’ve added another 10 pounds? I don’t wanna find out. The old saying, “Laughter is the best medicine” now means even more to me with this little tidbit, don’t you agree?

Let’s skinny down together beginning here!

Do you remember the dreaded days of your teen years when your mother forced you to buy your own personal products? Oh, I’ll never forget the VERY first time. I was so mortified, turning ever shade of red imaginable. Thankfully, nothing like this EVER took place on my watch…

“A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for the entire store to hear, ‘PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE.” That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word ‘Tampax’ for ‘THUMBTACKS.’ In a businesslike tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom: ‘DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?’

There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the after life.”

So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.

Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,”Wait just a minute!”

She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all that money in the casket.”

“Yes,” the wife said, “I promised. I’m a good Christian, I can’t lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.”

“You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?”

“I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check.”

Now for  a few visuals to tickle your funny bone with starting with Bob Hope’s funniest one-liner from The Ghost Breakers!

Imagine unemployment during the day of the Romans and you have a Mel Brooks movie.

 

Sometimes you don’t need to hear words to enjoy the laughs.

Don’t forget to join me on Monday. I will link up with Marie, Head-Conductor of the Love Train, in Monday’s Music Move Me. Theme selection will be: Song title will have a color in it or the band name and/or a song from your prom.

What makes you laugh?
