We Need a Laugh
A friend of mine just sent me this:
Wow … bars, clubs, and gyms all closed. My life is about to be exactly the same!
Hey, creative community! Just a reminder that Shakespeare was quarantined for the plague when he wrote King Lear. No pressure!
Remember when we thought we were going to have a bad week because of the time change, full moon, and Friday the 13th. We didn’t have a clue!
Definition of irony: gas under two dollars a gallon and no place to go…
Homeschooling going well – two students suspended for fighting, one teacher fired for drinking on the job!
Maybe now society will realize we can make it without celebrities and professional sports… but we can’t make it without farmers and ranchers!
Your grandparents were called to war. You’re being called to sit on your couch. You can do this!!
April Fools Day is canceled this year because no made up prank could match the unbelievable that’s going on in the world right now.
With March and April canceled, the next holiday is Cinco De Mayo – sponsored by Corona.
If COVID-19 forces Planned Parenthood to be closed for two weeks, the virus will have saved more lives than it has taken.
September morning 2050: John opened the last package of toilet paper bought by his parents in 2020.
Since everyone has started washing their hands like we’re supposed to, we’ll be working on shapes and colors next week.
If you need 144 rolls of toilet paper for a 14-day quarantine, you probably should have been seeing a doctor long before COVID-19.
Due to panic buying, Walmart has opened register 3.
I’d hate to see a diarrhea virus breakout right now… people are going to buy all the nose spray!

That moment when you’re worried about the elderly and realize that you are the elderly …
Our cleaning lady just called and told us she will be working from home and will send us instructions about what to do.
The folks who support open borders and poop- and needle-filled streets are suddenly worried about a virus?
I say we close down the media for 30 days and watch 80% of the world’s problems go away!
Also highly contagious is kindness, patience, love, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. Don’t wait to catch it from others…be the carrier!

This made me laugh
And this…
Mrs Rodin complains that I don’t laugh at her jokes. I think this is because I first have to pay attention (bada boom!), then begin to be amused (smile, quiet chuckle), and finally it builds into involuntary belly spasms before I really laugh–sometimes to the point of tears. I had the same reaction as I went through the OP — the spasms kicked in about the time the kid is hired to pick up poop in the backyard.
Thank you! If we can’t laugh at ourselves, we’re doomed!

This made me laugh out loud and lightened the tension. Thank you for sharing.
And we can’t make it without all the people who get the things ranchers and farmers provide processed, packaged, tramsported, and put on the shelves of our grocery stores. Restauarnts and motels might be deemed non-essential, but the jobs those people have are essential for their well being as well as their survival.
I have a funny short video clip, but I can’t seem to get it to post . . .
