WELCOME to THURSDAY OCTOBER 31, 2024
Here’s The Story……
On October 13, 1944, the Durham N. C. Sun Reported that a Durhamite
had been brought before a Judge Wison in traffic court for having parked
his car on a restricted street right in front of a sign that read “No Stoping.”
Rather than pleading guilty, the defendant argued that the missing letter
in the sign meant that he had not violated the letter of the law. Brandishing
a Webster’s dictionary, he noted that stoping means:
“Extracting ore from a stope or, loosely, underground.”
“Your Honor”, said the man, “I am a law-abiding citizen and I didn’t extract
any ore from the area of the sign. I move that the case be dismissed.”
Acknowledging that the defendant hadn’t done any illegal mining, the judge
declared the man not guilty and commented, “Since this is Friday,
the 13th, anything can happen, so I’ll turn you loose.”😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“I heard that people in Hawaii are stealing cans of Spam and reselling them.
So if you think you’re having a rough day, imagine being the guy waiting on
the corner for his Spam dealer. “Come on, where is this guy?”‘ -Jimmy Fallon
“Red Lobster announced today that it will start delivering its food in New York
City through a partnership with Grubhub. Because if there’s one thing that will
make discount seafood even better, it’s 20 minutes on the back of a bike. Just
think, that shrimp is going down 8th Avenue as we speak.” -Seth Meyers
“According to a new study, children who are spanked are twice as likely as
those that aren’t spanked to get into fights and destroy things – which is
probably why they get spanked in the first place.” -Jimmy Kimmel
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
The artist tried to concentrate on his work, but the attraction he felt
for his model finally became irresistible. He threw down his palette,
took her in his arms, and kissed her.
She pushed him away. “Maybe your other models let you kiss them,”
she said, “but I’m not that kind!”
“Actually, I’ve never tried to kiss a model before,” he protested.
“Really?” she said, softening. “Well, how many models have there been?”
“Four so far,” he replied, thinking back. “A jug, two apples and a vase.”
Wednesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this about???
This movie is about a family whose child keeps begging his parents for a dog. They tell him
they will get him a dog one day, but they don’t have a big enough apartment right now.
Answer: Look Who’s Talking Now
“Look Who’s Talking Now” is the third movie in the “Look Who’s Talking Trilogy.” It stars Kirstie Alley as Mollie Ubriacco and John Travolta as James Ubriacco. It is close to Christmas, and Mikey (David Gallagher) keeps begging his parents for a dog. They tell him they will get him a dog one day, but they don’t have a big enough apartment right now. Mollie gets fired from her job as an accountant and takes a temporary job as one of Santa’s elves at the mall. James brings the kids in to see Santa (Ron Gabriel) and tells them their mother is friends with him. Unfortunately, Mikey sees Santa after hours because James is busy with Julie (Tabitha Lupien), who cried when she saw Santa and now thinks Santa is mad at her. Santa is a shady fellow, and Mikey is now traumatized by seeing him and realizing Santa is not real. The other three try to make him feel better, the adults explain Santa is real but has helpers, and the one at the mall was a helper. Not knowing what else to do, the adults discuss getting him a dog. James was hired to work for a woman named Samantha (Lysette Anthony) as a pilot. She learns about their need for a dog and sends her poodle Daphne (voiced by Diane Keaton) to the house with all her pedigree things. Meanwhile, James takes Mikey to the pound, where they rescue Rocks, a mutt (voiced by Danny DeVito), a dog Mikey saw before when Rocks was still small. So, now they have two dogs when they never wanted even one.

Thursday’s Quizzler is….😎😎
Here are some well-known expressions rewritten into “Cliff-ese”. For those of you who don’t know what that means, he was a very wordy person on the TV show “Cheers” and never used a small word where a larger one would work. Try to figure out the phrases in simpler terms.
- Projecting short, loud, canine-like noises erroneously toward the top of an incorrect arboreal plant.
- To subject a slender illumination device to rapid carbonization on its antipodal points.
- To slay a brace of avian creatures with just a single petrous conglomeration.
- Like sending dense shelly concretions through the air to fall in front of stout-bodied, artiodactyl creatures.
