Newsletter and jokes 24 December 2021


 
Hi all 
 
Finally the end is in sight .. for the year, and hopefully also the Covid 
chaos. Then we must just make sure to get all our freedoms back. 
 
The Matrix Resurrections opened on Wednesday, reviews have been rather  
mixed, so I guess it will appeal to some but not others. 
 
Today sees the sequel to Sing hit the screens, and it has found more favour  
with the crowds than the critics, so should be perfect for the little ones.  
 
The only other Mainstrem release is The King's Man, which is a prequel to 
the series, but has had a poor reception.  
 
India has two offerings, the cross-cultural rom-com Atrangi Re, and the  
cricketing saga '83. 
 
Enjoy :-)

As a real-estate agent, I often advise my clients how to make their houses 
more marketable. Two weeks after suggesting that one client do some 
repairs, I received a call from him. 
 
“I fixed the leaking roof, replaced the gutters and painted inside and 
out,” he told me.  
 
“Good,” I replied. “Are you ready to sell your house?” 
 
“No, I’m sorry,” he apologised. “Now I have no reason to move.”

Members of our strategic-planning department pride themselves on their  
ability to be prepared.  
 
One morning the vice president called a colleague and me to his office and  
began describing an important project. 
 
Opening my portfolio, I was embarrassed to discover just one piece of blank  
paper. As the executive continued, I scribbled the facts on both sides of  
the paper and then on the cardboard of my note pad. My colleague passed me  
a couple of sheets of paper, yet she did hardly any writing.  
 
Later, when I asked her why her notations had been so brief, she replied,  
“My pen ran out of ink.”

My first day on the job at a major tea company, the fellow who was  
conducting my orientation asked me if I had any questions.  
 
“This seems like a great place to work,” I said, “but there are always  
drawbacks. What are they here?” 
 
“No coffee breaks,” he replied.

I managed an ice-cream stand that employed mostly teenagers. They were like  
a second family to me, so it was difficult to dismiss one spoiled youngster  
who didn’t carry her share of work and was always telling others what to do.  
 
Her sister applied for the vacancy. On the application form, she answered  
the question “Why do you want to work here?” by writing: 
 
“My sister told me she was fired because she was bossy. I figured that 
since you and I think so much alike, I’d fit right in!”

For most of us, a magic carpet would be one you wouldn’t have to vacuum.

Currently my toddler is crying because I won’t let him hit me with the mop. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My kids love playing pretend. My nine-year-old pretends to be a dinosaur  
and my 13-year-old pretends she doesn’t know us.

I asked my young son if he made the school orchestra, where he auditioned  
to be a viola player. 
 
“There’s no way they’d not consider me,” he replied with confidence. 
 
“Why so?” I asked.  
 
“They needed two,” he said, “and I was the only one who showed up.” 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My seven-year-old: Can I go to my friend’s house? He wrote down his address. 
 
Me: He just wrote down his house number. He didn’t actually write down the  
street.  
 
My seven-year-old: How many streets can there be?

One Sunday morning, my five-year-old son came to my bedroom, jumped into my  
bed and hugged me.  
 
Afterwards, he said, “Mommy, your breath smells yucky, but I still love you.” 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My son saw pictures of my fifth birthday party and asked why I didn’t 
invite him. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
When my four-year-old gets mad at someone in our family, she draws a family  
picture without them in it.

I hate housework. You make the beds, you wash the dishes and six months  
later you have to start all over again.
