WELCOME to WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2025
Here’s The Story…
Every ten years, the monks in the monastery are allowed to break their vow of
silence with two words. Ten years go by and it’s one monk’s first chance to speak.
He thinks for a while before saying, “Food bad.”
Ten years later, he says, “Bed hard.”
A decade later and it’s the big day again. He gives the head monk
a long stare and finally says, “I quit.”
“I’m not surprised,” the head monk says. “You’ve been complaining
ever since you got here.” 😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“A new study found that parents who only have daughters are more likely to
be Republican, which I guess explains why my Dad registered as Republican
when he saw me throw a football.” -Jimmy Fallon
“Hundreds of flights were cancelled today at the world’s busiest airport in Atlanta
due to a massive power outage yesterday. Experts are saying this could lead to
as many as 30 texts from your mother.” Seth Meyers
“Christmas is a strange holiday. It’s Jesus’ birthday. But Nobody knows Jesus’
exact birthday because he refuses to sign up for Facebook.” Jimmy Kimmel
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Every December it was the same excruciating tradition. Our family would
get up at the crack of dawn, go to a Christmas tree farm and tromp across
acres of snow in search of the perfect tree. Hours later our feet would be
freezing, but Mom would press on, convinced the tree of her dreams was “just up ahead.”
One year I snapped. “Mom, face it. The perfect tree doesn’t exist. It’s like looking
for a man. Just be satisfied if you can find one that isn’t dead, doesn’t
have too many bald spots and is straight.” 😳😳
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this about???
This movie is about men who flee an island-fortress prison
Answer: Escape from Alcatraz!
Actually, there are four inmates at the “inescapable” Alcatraz prison who are involved in the plot. Charlie Butts is part of the group, however, somehow failed to meet up with the others at the appointed time, and is left behind. He is said to have fully cooperated with the authorities in the aftermath. Frank Morris discovers that the concrete around the grille of his cell is loose. Using spoons, the four men spend months scraping around the walls of their cells, leaving heads made of papier-mâché tucked under blankets to serve as decoys. A raft made out of raincoats is used to escape off the island, and the escape is not discovered until the following morning. Although the warden insists that the men all drowned, the conclusion of the movie implies that they made it to safety.
In “Escape from Alcatraz” (1979) the real names of the three convicts who escaped were used; Charlie Butts was actually Allen West, who was left behind and cooperated with the authorities. While there are picky details that have been found to be incorrect, such as the oscilloscope on the metal detector being a 1979 model rather than a 1962 model, the glaring difference between “true life” and the movie is that when the FBI closed their investigation seventeen years later, it was determined that all three men likely drowned. The U.S. Marshals Service, however, has never closed the case.
