The Perseid Meteor Shower

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 2 Comments

With a new moon last night, it was prime viewing for the Perseid Meteor Shower, so I tuned in for almost an hour.

  • Q:  Why was the moon embarrassed?
  • A:  It saw the meteor shower.

I have decided not to copyright the above joke, so feel free to use it, especially during Perseid Meteor Shower season.  I can assure you that astronomy-related jokes are a huge hit around the water cooler. Don’t get me started on Uranus jokes. Please understand that this does NOT give you written or implied permission to use any of my other six copyright-protected jokes, although I suspect that US copyright laws are flaunted daily on school playgrounds across this country since three of my so-called “copyright-protected” jokes are booger-related. Presidential candidates … talk to me more about copyright protection than immigration and you will get my vote. Continue reading “The Perseid Meteor Shower” →

Bernie Sanders says “No” to Hillary becoming a Republican

Republican Primary Frogs

I have frogs in my pond.  I think they are Republican Primary Frogs.

You can see 2 very visibly in the picture, but there are actually 3 more hiding in the reeds!  I’m not sure how they got into my pond.  I don’t want them in my pond, but they just showed up anyway.  The nearest body of water is about a half mile away.  It took some effort to get to my pond without an invitation.  Yes, they are entertaining at times, but they are also kind of hard to get rid of at the end of the season.  I have to drain the pond and haul them away to a place where they can safely overwinter. Even after doing that, the next spring I still pull a dead one or two from the pond that just couldn’t stay away.

On top of all that, how am I sure that they are Republican Primary Frogs?  Despite their large numbers, only one is black.

Finally, A Candidate With a Plan for US Troops

~ Jim Flanigan

Mike Huckabee is trying to distance himself from the other Republican candidates with a specific plan for US Armed Forces and maybe even the FBI. Sure, he may go after ISIS and certainly Iran is on his radar.  But there is another enemy …

Well, finally we will be able to see an excellent use of US Troops …
pitted against licensed medical professionals.
