Day Brightener- Hypnotist At The Senior Center

It was entertainment night at the Senior Citizens’ Center. After the community sing along led by Alice at the piano, it was time for the star of the show, Claude the Hypnotist!
Claude explained that he was going to put the whole audience into a trance. “Yes, each and every one of you and all at the same time.” said Claude.

The excited chatter dropped to silence as Claude carefully withdrew from his waistcoat pocket; a beautiful antique gold pocket watch and chain. “I want you to keep your eyes on this watch” said Claude, holding the watch high for all to see. “It is a very special and valuable watch that has been in my family for six generations” said Claude.

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting “Watch the watch — Watch the watch —-Watch the watch” .

The audience became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth.
The lights were twinkling as they were reflected from its gleaming surfaces.
A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes followed the movements of the gently swaying watch.

They were hypnotized. And then, suddenly, the chain broke!!! The beautiful watch fell to the stage and burst apart on impact”.

“SHIT” said Claude.

It took them three days to clean up the Senior Citizens’ Center. And, Claude was never invited back again.

Friday Frivolity – Diplomacy At Its Best

As Air Force One arrives at the Heathrow Airport, President Trump Strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen.

They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London, where they Change to a magnificent 17th-century carriage hitched to six white horses.

They continue on towards Buckingham Palace, waving to the thousands Of cheering Britons; all is going well.

The fart shakes the coach, but, the two Heads of State do their best to ignore The incident.

Trump, always trying to be “Presidential,” responded: “Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought.  Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses.

Day Brightener – Ole And Lars On The Job

Ole and Lars were working for the city public works department in Wisconsin. Ole would dig a hole and Lars would follow behind and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one digging a hole, the other filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn’t understand what they were doing. So he asked Ole, ‘I’m impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don’t get it — why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?’

Ole, the hole digger, wiped his brow and sighed, “Vell, I suppose it probably looks odd because ve’re normally a three-person team. But today Sven, who plants da trees, called in sick.”

Day Brightener – A Message For The Holidays – Both Humorous And With A Message

With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving.

As you may know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a “social session” out with friends. Well, two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine.

Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That’s when I did something that I’ve never done before – I took a cab home.

Sure enough on the way home there was a police roadblock, but since it was a cab they waved it past.  I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise, as I had never driven a cab before, I don’t know where I got it, and now that it’s in my garage I don’t know what to do with it!

Day Brightener – Is A Computer Male Or Female?

One puzzled student asked, “What gender is a computer?” The teacher thought it would be a good exercise to have the students decide what they thought the gender should be.

So, she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide whether “computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

The men’s group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender (“la computer”), because:

  1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
  2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
  3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review.
  4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you constantly find yourself spending more money on accessories for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine “le computer”) because:

  1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
  2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves.
  3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
  4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model!
