    But that won’t stop people from wanting singles and other denominations of bills. One time I had two dollars.

    May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

    A man returned to the U.S. after a trip abroad feeling very ill.

    He goes to see his doctor and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a barrage of extensive tests. He’s negative for COVID, Ebola, Malaria, and pretty much all the recognizable infectious diseases.

    The man wakes up after the tests in a private room at the hospital, and the phone by his bed rings.

    “This is your doctor. We’ve got the results back from your battery of tests, and we’ve found you have an extremely nasty and rare virus that is highly contagious and is frequently fatal.”

    “Oh my gosh,” cries the man. He’s in a panic now. “What are you going to do, Doctor?”

    “Well, we’re going to put you on a diet of pizzas, pancakes, and quesadillas.”

    “Will that cure me?” asked the man hopefully.

    The doctor replied, “No… but it’s the only food we can slide under the door.”

    One more? Why not.

    My girlfriend and I bought a pizza to share and she got mad because I ate half.

    Granted, it was the TOP half, but still…

    I guess I should have said “2 more” a few minutes ago.

    What is the difference between an aspiring musician and a large pizza?

    A large pizza can actually feed a family of 4.

    Until next time.

    Pizza jokes are entirely too tame. Here’s one last joke with some meat to it.

    A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard.

    The little boy sees an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, “Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole.”

    The grandfather replies, “I’ll bet you five dollars you can’t. It’s too wiggly and limp to put back in that tiny hole.”

    The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. The boy then proceeds to slip the dying worm back into the hole.

    The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and hands the boy another five dollars.

    The little boy says, “Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars.”

    The grandfather replies, “I know. That’s from Grandma.”

    Until next time.

    We’ve long had a service of seed exchange… Once I’ve taken all the salad, fruit and veg from my potager… I let the rest “go to seed”… I collect the seeds and exchange them with other like-minded gardeners… for plants I don’t have…

    I’ve had Margherita pizza at Brandi in Naples, the actual restaurant that invented it. It’s really good.

    A man walks into a brain store to buy a new brain. He goes to the clerk and says

    “Hello, I’d like to purchase a new brain”.

    The clerk replies with “Sure, here are some of our brains we have on sale: first, here’s the brain of a physicist, 5 dollars; then here’s our second deal for today. The brain of an anti-vaxxer, 10,000 dollars”.

    The man, completely confused, asks “Why is the brain of an anti-vaxxer more expensive than that of a physicist?”

    “Because it’s never been used”, the clerk replies.

    You could use “flat-Earther” also, if that’s your target audience.

    Until next time.

    Coins can at least be washed. So glad to have a pocketful of Loonies and Toonies for times when plastic won’t do.

    If you think 3000 years is a long time, counting the number of synapses would take over 10000 times longer

    3,000 years? It would make some difference if the brain belonged to a Lib or a Nazi.

    In the 1980’s and ’90’s, you couldn’t find a $20, $50 or $100 bill in Miami that didn’t have traces of coke on them—some banks required staff to use rubber gloves in their vaults.

    The ingredients in the pizza served to the queen were the colors of the Italian flag: Yellow water buffalo cheese, red tomato sauce, and green basil

    The “paper” used for money is a combination of cotton and linen. The ink is a permanent pigment. Money washes extremely well as anyone knows who has had bills go through the washer. It can be ironed dry. This has the advantage of getting the wrinkles out for use in vending machines.
