Good evening, comics fans! I’ve decided to invent a new character to talk about; an entirely fictitious personage named Surly. Now, Surly is a crotchety old dude who doesn’t play well with others, so he stays home and plays with himself.
He recently called his local highway department to complain about the “Deer Crossing” sign near his house. “Too many deer are crossing there and getting hit by cars,” he explained. “Please have them cross somewhere else.”
He plugged his power strip into itself and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t getting any electricity.
He worked at an auto dealership at one time as a technician. Once, when I took my car in for repair, I discovered it had gotten locked with the keys inside. When I arrived, he was working on the driver’s side door. I instinctively tried the passenger side door; it was unlocked. I pointed it out to him, and he said, “Yeah, I know – I got that side already.”
Does anyone else know Surly? I’m sure there must be a lot more stories about him…
No IRS agents were harmed in the telling of this tale.
The teacher announced that to practice spelling, each member of the class would say what their fathers did for a living and then spell the occupation.
Mary went first. “My Dad is a baker, b-a-k-e-r, and if he were here, he would give everyone a cookie.”
Next came Tommy. “My dad is a banker, b-a-n-k-e-r, and if he were here, he’d give each of us a quarter.”
Third came Jimmy. "My dad is an electrician.’’ But after struggling through a number of attempts to spell the word, the teacher asked him to sit and think about it for a moment while she called on someone else.
She then turned to Johnny. “My dad’s a bookie, b-o-o-k-i-e,” Johnny said. “And if he were here, he’d lay you 8 to 5 that Jimmy ain’t never gonna spell electrician.”
I’m guessing that that’s just a misspelling of the word cheque, but I’m just curious which country still accepts cheques. Most European countries no longer accept them. Most first world countries use electronic bank transfers. My last cheque was dated 13 Septembre 2011, but never cashed, it was only to cover against an accident to the lorry I borrowed.

Boudreau was having trouble sleeping at night. He wrote a letter to the Internal Revenue Service which read:
“Dear Internal Revenue Service,
For da tax year 2003, I underpaid my income tax, an’ I ain’t been able ta sleep well since. Enclosed is a check fo’ $200. Signed, Yours in Good Government, Boudreau"
And he put at the bottom,
“Mais, P.S. If I don’t sleep betta tonite, I’m gonna send you da rest.”

I wouldn’t buy anything endorses by Lebron. There are plenty of other athletes with class and who don’t try to foist their political and social views on us.
And when Magic Johnson was 19 he also turned down an offer from the new sneaker maker Nike for and endorsement in exchange for stock that would have been worth somewhere between a $billion and five $billion today.

To Moderators:
Thank-you for your reply.
Yes, the Comment Policy, I have read it many times and believe I understand it quite well. However, sending it to me again does nothing to help me from repeating my previous violation as I have no idea what my infraction was.
That being said, would you please explain the reason for my suspension. Thank-you.

Here’s another golf joke. This is for Pykiff who liked the last golf joke. FORE: After a particularly poor round a golfer spotted a lake as he walked despondently up the 18th. He looked at his caddie – who might’ve been the caddie from my previous golf joke – and said, “I’ve played so badly all day, I think I’m going to drown myself in that lake.” The caddie, quick as a flash and dry as a bone, replied, “I’m not sure you could keep your head down that long, Sir.”
Might want to consider becoming a paying PREMIUM MEMBER. Only $20 per year and well worth it for the benefits. I do not know if it gives you any more clout, but it should.
You have no more sway with the company as a paid member than you do as a “freeloader”. I would occasionally write them about something or other but didn’t feel any preferential treatment cast my way. And you still get TIMED OUT when they don’t like your content. As a currently Free user I don’t see fit to complain as I did, when paying.
A golf one for today……The golf course was haunted by a malicious, evil leprechaun who exploited the ambitions of the poorer players. He popped up beside one unfortunate man who was participating in a club competition.
“Look,” he said, “if you agree never to court a woman, flirt with a girl or marry, I’ll help you win.”
“Done,” agreed the young golfer. The leprechaun was very pleased with conniving ways, and chuckled merrily.
When the golfer was in the clubhouse being praised by the other members, the leprechaun popped up on the shelf of the locker. “Hey,” said the little elf, “I have to have your name for my records. What is it?”
“Father Murphy,” grinned the golfer as he adjusted his Roman collar.
