Newsletter and jokes 5 May 2023


 
Hi all 
 
Well, that's the last of the long week-ends for a while. Till next month. 
 
This week sees the final episode in the Guardians of the Galaxy series.  
Reviews have been good and it's showing all over in all formats, so enjoy :-) 
 
The other three releases are for the adults. First up is the comedy horror, 
Beau Is Afraid, with Joaquin Phoenix. Note that the runtime is 3 hours,  
reviews have also been good.  
 
The last film with Bruce Willis, Assassin, sadly will not be a high note  
for him. The critics were not impressed while the public were more  
forgiving. 
 
Lastly, on the art circuit, an offbeat Brit movie, The Unlikely Pilgrimage  
of Harold Fry. Regret not much in the way of reviews, but IMDB rating is  
good. 
 
THere are previews next Wednesday for the female-friendly romances  
Book Club: The Next Chapter, and Love Again. 
 
Next Thursday's Throwback Thursday movie is the #1 movie on IMDB,  
The Shawshank Redemption. Enjoy.

Why do I always feel great on Saturday and Sunday, and sick on all the  
other days? 
 
Maybe I just have a weekend immune system.

My wife said she's leaving me because I keep making coffee without the

A cat owner invited their neighbor over for dinner and introduced their  
four cats. "That's Alogue, Aract, Erpillar, and Astrophe," they announced.  
 
The neighbor was surprised and asked, Where on Earth did you get those names? 
 
Oh, those are their last names, the owner said. Their first names are Cat. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
I think my neighbour is stalking me. I caught her Googling my name.  
At least I think she was... 
 
The focus on my telescope is a little shaky.

I’m sick of those people who knock on your door and tell you how you need  
to be “saved” or you’ll “burn.” 
 
Stupid firefighters.

Normally the wife picks up our four kids at school, but today she sent me a  
text, "Working late. Please pick up kids <3" 
 
It was really hard deciding which two to leave behind.

The king of a small nation lived in a palace that was, in actuality, just a 
straw hut with an attic. Still, with the king living there, it was indeed a  
palace, as far as the citizens of that nation were concerned.  
 
The king would greet guests while sitting cross-legged on the floor. 
 
One day, the king grew tired of sitting on the floor; and he ordered his  
servants to construct for him a simple wooden stool. He sat upon the stool,  
and for a time, he was content. 
 
Eventually, however, the king grew tired of his simple wooden stool; and he  
ordered his servants to construct for him a new chair, this one made of  
copper, and padded with wool; and he put the simple wooden stool up in the  
attic; and he sat upon the wool-padded, copper chair; and for a time, he  
was content. 
 
Eventually, however, the king grew tired of his wool-padded, copper chair;  
and he ordered his servants to construct for him a new chair, this one made  
of silver, and padded with linen, and decorated with emeralds; and he put  
the wool-padded copper chair up in the attic; and he sat upon the  
emerald-decorated, linen-padded, silver chair; and for a time, he was  
content. 
 
Eventually, however, the king grew tired of his emerald-decorated,  
linen-padded, silver chair; and he ordered his servants to construct for  
him a new chair, this one made of gold, and padded with silk, and decorated  
with rubies, and now with the addition of reclining functionality; and he  
put the emerald-decorated, linen-padded, silver chair up in the attic; and  
he sat upon the reclining, ruby-decorated, silk-padded, golden chair; and  
for a time he was content. 
 
Eventually, however, the king grew tired of his reclining, ruby-decorated,  
silk-padded, golden chair; and he ordered his servants to construct for him  
a new chair, this one made of platinum, and padded with velvet, and  
decorated with amethysts, and still with reclining functionality, and now  
also equipped with cupholders; and he put the reclining, ruby-decorated,  
silk-padded, golden chair up in the attic; and he sat upon the  
cupholder-equipped, reclining, amethyst-decorated, velvet-padded,  
platinum chair; and for a time he was content. 
 
Eventually, however, the king grew tired of his cupholder-equipped,  
reclining, amethyst-decorated, velvet-padded, platinum chair; and he  
ordered his servants to construct for him a new chair, this one made of  
space-age alloy, and padded with memory-foam, and decorated with synthetic  
opal, and still with reclining functionality, and still with cupholders,  
and now with built-in heating elements for the winter; and he put his  
cupholder-equipped, reclining, amethyst-decorated, velvet-padded,  
platinum chair up in the attic; and the roof caved in.  
 
This just goes to show: people living in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

My housemates are convinced that our house is haunted.

Wife and I fight over the right way to hang the toilet paper.
