Tuesday’s Jokes, Quotes, Quizzlers and Teases!‏

Welcome, to Tuesday, January 19th! Here’s a story for ladies everywhere. Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house,  Nothing would fit me,  not even a blouse. The cookies I’d nibbled, the chocolate I’d tasted at the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number!  When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber),  I’d remember the marvellous meals I’d prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared, The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese, and the way I’d never said, “No thank you, please.”  As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt and prepared once again to do battle with dirt… I said to myself, as I only can, “You can’t spend a Summer, disguised as a man!” So, away with the last of the sour cream dip. Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip. Every last bit of food that I like must be banished till all the additional ounces have vanished. I won’t have a cookie, not even a lick.  I’ll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie. I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry. I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore… But isn’t that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot. Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have great day people, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here, Eucman!

Joke of the Day* 

Hey, since we’re now living in the time of e-mail (and blogs and texts and Tweets) and the more common use of the written language, it is time for an English lesson.  So, with tongue firmly in cheek, here are some rules to keep in mind when using the Queen’s Engerlish:

1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.

4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They’re old hat).

6. Always avoid annoying alliteration.

7. Be more or less specific.

8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.

10. No sentence fragments. No comma splices, run-ons are bad too.

11. Contractions aren’t helpful and shouldn’t be used.

12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.

13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.

14. One should never generalize.

15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
