A Few Funnies for Thanksgiving

I hope everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving. I’m already home from my friends house, where I stuffed myself with a delicious dinner. 🙂

The kids stepped up and made the stuffing, gravy, banana pudding and even mani-mahi (first time I’ve seen that done for Thanksgiving). We also had mashed potatoes, broccoli rice casserole, ham, turkey, hot rolls and roasted vegetables. That was all before the desserts: Sue’s fabulous apple cinnamon cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and pumpkin nut bread (with chocolate chips).

I got home and forced myself to take my walk before I fell asleep. I’m trying not to take another nap! I don’t want to get my sleep schedule all twisted again. I’m trying to get back to normal- up in the daytime so I can get things done.

I want to spend this weekend working on a few projects I’ve been putting off (just too tired to get to them). I got a few plants on sale last week. They’re mostly still alive so I need to get them in the ground! I want to finish up the last chapter of the book I’ve been working on. I need to choose a few good photos for the Houston Maritime Museum, I’m hoping they’ll let me place a few there and maybe someone will buy a couple. 🙂

Here are a few more cute cartoons I found online for Thanksgiving. Enjoy…

A Few Frosty Ones

I’m trying to get into the spirt of things around here. With the temperatures still up there where I’m turning on the air-conditioner most days, it’s hard to do. I do remember back when I was a little kid, staying at my grandmothers house in New York.

There would be so much snow and we’d be snowed in. Couldn’t go out for days. I loved all that as a kid. Sledding, snowball fights, making snowmen, etc. I still love to see the fresh snow and the cool temperatures, even tho I hardly ever get to see it here in Texas.

I was thinking about some of that stuff tonight. I just happened to come upon these…

Email Funnies: Engineers

A friend sent me this in an email the other day. I got a few laughs out of it. My dad was an engineer and I actually went for a couple of years of engineering myself before I changed to math (just so I could get out of school earlier).

Understanding Engineers #1
Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”  The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.”
The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice:  The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”
 
Understanding Engineers #2
To the optimist, the glass is half-full.  To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 
Understanding Engineers #3
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys?  We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!”  The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf!” The priest said, “Here comes the greens-keeper.  Let’s have a word with him.”  He said, “Hello George, What’s wrong with that group ahead of us?  They’re rather slow, aren’t they?”
The greens-keeper replied, “Oh, yes.  That’s a group of blind firemen.  They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime!.”  The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”  The doctor said, “Good idea.  I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there’s anything she can do for them.”
The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”
 
Understanding Engineers #4
What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? Mechanical engineers build weapons.
Civil engineers build targets.
 
Understanding Engineers #5
The graduate with a science degree asks, “Why does it work?”
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, “How does it work?”
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, “How much will it cost?”
The graduate with an arts degree asks, “Do you want fries with that?”
 
Understanding Engineers #6
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body.
One said, “It was a mechanical engineer.  Just look at all the joints.”
Another said, “No, it was an electrical engineer.  The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections.”
The last one said, “No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer.  Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?”
 
Understanding Engineers #7
Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.
 
Understanding Engineers #8
An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.”
He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn back into a beautiful princess and stay with you for one week.”  The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.  The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want.”  Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.  Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter?  I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess and that I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want.  Why won’t you kiss me?”  The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog – now that’s cool!!.”
 
Two engineers???
Two engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.
“We’re supposed to find the height of this flagpole,” said STEVEN, “but we don’t have a ladder.”
The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground.
Then she took a tape measure from her pocketbook, took a measurement, and announced, “Twenty one feet, six inches,” and walked away.
One engineer shook his head and laughed, “A lot of good that does us.  We ask for the height and she gives us the length!”
Both engineers have since quit their engineering jobs and are currently serving in the United States Congress.

Ha! I needed a laugh today. I hope you got one too. 🙂
