    Thanks Sid ! I was wondering where you had gotten to. These are a riot, especially the one about the parachute.

    Those are great. Someone sent me a picture of a septic tank cleaning service’s truck — the license plate was POOPUMPER.

    Great stuff !!

    How bout this one from a small town radio on-air ‘Swapmart’ . A farmer called in to sell 20 ewes of his herd . They put him on the air and he says ” I got 20 EEE-WEES for sale” . True Story .

    Nothing like a good daily chuckle. . the Elmo one is my favorite. . . . . here’s one for you.

    My local paper:
    Found:one small terrier mix. . about 8 pounds. . female. . . golden red with white paws. . one gold eye, one brown. . . .
    . . . . . call to identify.

    Those reminded me of a classic ad which once appeared in the Village Voice newspaper in Greenwich Village:
    “After seven years of careful preparation towards being a concert pianist, I am now prepared to offer my services as a baby sitter”.
    I guess he flunked the audition. LOL!

    So cute. I advertised for homes for a litter of kittens this way:

    My momma was the neighborhood hussy and papa was a rolling stone, we need homes, papa is not paying child support, we cannot locate him. He must be cute, cause I sure am!

  16. havasnana December 19, 2009 4:12 pm

    LOVE IT. those are great. never see any good ones around these parts.

  17. Cranky December 19, 2009 4:37 pm

    These were absolutely wonderful. And ever so Senior.

    When I was younger, I was driving by a Church in Indiana, and I swear, the sign out front read: “Do You Know What Hell Is? Come Hear Our Organist”.

    Are these for real! Quite a collection Thanks for the joy of
    humorous laughter, this is a keeper to recycle. By the time I got to the Italian sofa, I thought I was laughed out, that one
    brought a roar. The last one was, Oh! Boy, The honeymoon
    is over———-Thanxs
