ONE BIG JOKE?

I personally spend a lot of my time telling jokes to anyone, actually everyone, who will simply listen. Some appear to not give me their un-divided attention at times, but I can take a joke too.

But now I am finding this also to be true:

Jews are no joke, Arabs are no joke, Catholics are no joke, Russians are no joke, Ukrainians are no joke, The Chinese are no joke, North Koreans are no joke, Starving Children are no joke, Starving Anyone is no joke, Illegal Immigrants, Migrants, Haitians, Mexicans, Nazis, Protestants, Baptists Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics and the ardent followers of ‘The Charley Brown Religion of Schin are all, collectively or not, Black, Brown, Mocha, White, Green, Yellow, Red (even Puce and Gamboge) are NO JOKE my friends…did I miss you?

But Rejoice dear hearts, we still have SOME jokes around to amuse us:

Joe Biden is actually one big joke, Kammie is nipping at his heals as number two, Vlad Putin is holding onto the ‘show’ position and has a great chance of becoming top dog. Don’t shrug him off too quickly…he’s got potential.

More jokes? How about Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Bobby K. Jr., Donald Trump (YES, he CAN be funny at times), Most Congressmen/women, the Cabinet Certain Supreme Court justices, a whole bunch of State Governors, Mucho Leaders of all sorts of Movements (Bowel included), Electric vehicles, Edsels and other non-electric autos, The Little Rascals, The BIG Rascals (Congressmen/women), a collection of World Leaders, The Royal Family, Red Skelton, Uncle Milty, Johnny Carson, Jonathan Winters, Lucy Ball, Moms Mabley and so many, many, many others both living and not…ARE FUNNY!

Some are outright HILLARIOUS, yes, really funny people that can bring a smile to your sad face and be…well…darned FUNNY!

ACRONYMS FOR FUN & PROFIT

EVERY time you open your mouth to speak to someone, you are in effect engaging in a ‘sales call’. You see, EVERYONE has a unique point of view and you are actually trying your best to get agreement with yours…you are ‘selling’ it to them.

When we resort to using ACRONYMS, a first letter of each word device, we are merely using shorthand to hurry things along. Faster, requires less ink, catchy and clever all in one word!

Our Government uses them ‘ad nauseam’ to better define a better understanding by expanding them ‘rite back ‘atcha’ in pure Cajun dialect chere!

You can easily turn acronyms back around in your mind…NATO becomes North Atlantic Treaty Organization and then back to NATO again.

But here are some ‘acronyms’ that you mistakenly thought were proper NAMES.;

H A M A S; is a perfect example to start off with. It actually stands for:

Hated Assaulters Murderers Attackers Scumbags. At one time it was: Hateful Arab Murderers (who) Attack Scapegoats (like Jews), but some politically correct folk rejected to such language and exercised their VETO power.

After facing pushback from the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), who practice the AEFAEATFAT (An Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth) doctrine, an agreement was reached on the exact wording, but NO hostage release was included…nor was there any mention of a ceasefire.

This whole mess is the result of a ‘not so smart’ idea formulated by the UN (United Nations) back in 1948, but actually it is really the continuation of the LON (League Of Nations) decision of the 1920’s.

WORDPLAY can be a fun way to defuse some of the world’s most serious problems. Acronyms can shorten a longer phrase down to a simple ‘catchy’ one word. Madison Avenue uses them to ‘lighten-up’ major problems like Under-arm body odor and halitosis so that we can deal with life more better. Yet, is not B.O. still B.O. in the long run?

With all this in mind, I offer this last acronym for your enjoyment…for your Fun and Profit:

B.I.D.E.N.:

Boob In (charge of) Destroying Everything (a) Normal (person would not destroy).

This has been a FYI (For Your Information) release for you to FOFY (Figure Out For Yourself).
