Friday Funny: 😄🐕My Dog lives like a king🐕😄

Fiona from Henderson

• He has his food prepared for him.
• His meals are provided at no cost to him.
• He visits the Vet once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is … View more
I Just Realized Something:

• My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
• He has his food prepared for him.
• His meals are provided at no cost to him.
• He visits the Vet once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
• He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
• If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
• He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
• He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
• He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
• All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks ~ MY DOG IS A POLITCIAN!!!

Wednesday's Funny: 😄🦜Talking Parrots🦜😄

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, ”Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know to say one thing. ”

”What do they say?” the priest asked.

”They say, “Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun? ”

”That's obscene!” the priest exclaimed.

Then he thought for a moment.

”You know,” he said, ”I may have a solution to your problem.
I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.”

“Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.”

The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house.

As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying.

Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: “Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”

There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and says, ”Put the beads away, Frank, Our prayers have been answered!!!”
