WELC0ME to THURSDAY FEBRUARY 1. 2024
Here’s The Story…..
Hubby – You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?
Wife – When there is a problem, no matter how impossible,
I look at your picture and the problem disappears.
Hubby – You see, how miraculous and powerful I am for you?
Wife – Yes, I see your picture and say to myself,
“What other problem can there be greater than this one?” 😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT THURSDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
The following conversation took place one morning between a wife
and her husband. They were discussing government cost cuts that
they recently heard about in the paper.
“Steve,” his wife said, while reading the newspaper, “it looks like our
government is going to cut overhead and trim down the military forces.
They are going to eliminate six overaged destroyers.”
To which the husband replies, “Sorry to hear that, dear.
I’m sure you’ll miss your mother being gone.” 😳
Wednesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Always the same narrow people, the same mindless FACES”
Answer: “Titanic”
The full quote “I saw my whole life as if I’d already lived it… an endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches… always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared… or even noticed.” is a rather depressing reflection. This is spoken in voice-over by the old Rose DeWitt Bukater (from the movie “Titanic”) on her protected, rich life that she had been living but not enjoying at the time of the fateful journey. While she is saying this, images of her younger self, sitting through a formal first class dinner, play on the screen.
