WELCOME to MONDAY FEBRUARY 16th, 2026
Here’s The Story….
Arthur was sitting outside his local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling
good about himself, when a nun suddenly appears at his table and starts decrying the evils of drink.
“You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin! Alcohol is the blood of the devil!”
Now Arthur gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the offensive.
“How do you know, Sister? Have you ever had a drink yourself?
How can you be sure that what you are saying is right?”
“Don’t be ridiculous – of course I have never taken alcohol myself”
“Then let me buy you a drink – if you still believe afterwards that it is evil I will give up drink for life”
“How could I, a Nun, sit outside this public house drinking?”
“I’ll get the barman to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will know”
The Nun reluctantly agrees, so Arthur goes inside to the bar.
“Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks”, then he lowers his voice
and says to the barman “… and could you put the vodka in a teacup?”
“Oh no! It’s not that drunk Nun again is it?” 😮😮
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY MONDAY 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
Now that they are retired, my mother and father are discussing all aspects of their future.
“What will you do if I die before you do?” Dad asked Mom.
After some thought, she said that she’d probably look for a house-sharing situation with
three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself,
since she is so active for her age.
Then Mom asked Dad, “What will you do if I die first?”
He replied, “Probably the same thing.” 😮😁😎
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day!
In what 2025 Jon Chu directed film did you hear “No Good Deed” and see witches?
Answer: Wicked: For Good! The sequel to 2024’s “Wicked” once again starred Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West, and Ariana Grande as Glinda, The Good Witch. “Wicked: For Good” brought back director Jon Chu for the second movie in the series. Elphaba’s song “No Good Deed” previously was sung in the 2003 Broadway musical of “Wicked”.
Mondays Movie Trivia of the day!
Bob Hoskins plays private investigator Eddie Valiant in this ground-breaking special effects film (blending live action and animation together almost seamlessly) about a rabbit that gets accused of murder. This is not at all easy for Eddie, who has held a grudge against all toons after his brother’s murder five year prior. After discovering the real plot and who is behind it, Eddie regains his trust of the ‘toons (thank you, Roger!) and happily coexists with them in Toontown once again.
Friday’s Quizzler is….
Five neighborhood children went trick or treating together. Each wore different costumes, carried a different bag for candy and had a different favorite candy. From the clues can you figure out who wore which costume, the type of bag he/she carried and his/her favorite candy?
The Children:
Three girls: Abby, Leah & Xarina
Two boys: Logan & Tyler
Costumes:
Hobo
Kitten
Pirate
Princess
Punk Rocker
Candy Bags:
Black Plastic Trash Bag (Black)
Blue Pillowcase (Blue)
Decorated Grocery Sack (Grocery)
Plastic Pumpkin (Pumpkin)
Yellow Pillowcase (Yellow)
Favorite Candy:
Bubblegum (Bubble)
Chocolate (Choc)
Lemon-drops (Lemon)
Peanut Butter Pieces (PB)
Taffy
- Of the punk rocker & the hobo: One of the girls had decorated a grocery sack and the other absolutely loves chocolate.
- Neither of the boys carried the plastic pumpkin or the blue pillowcase.
- The five children were: the boy with the black plastic bag, the one who loves lemondrops, Xarina, the chocolate lover, and the girl dressed as a kitten (who loves peanut butter).
- The pirate (whose favorite candy is not bubblegum or taffy) carried the yellow pillowcase.
- The pirate’s sister, Abby, was going to carry a blue one, but changed her mind at the last minute.
- Tyler doesn’t chew bubblegum so he gave his to the girl with the grocery bag (it’s her favorite).
- Again (not necessarily in the same order), the children are: the girl with the plastic pumpkin, the Hobo, the princess, Logan and the one who loves bubblegum.
Answer: Abby, Kitten, Peanut Butter Pieces, Plastic Pumpkin
Leah, Hobo, Chocolate, Blue Pillowcase
Logan, Pirate, Lemon-drops, Yellow Pillowcase
Tyler, Princess, Taffy, Black Plastic Trash Bag
Xarina, Punk Rocker, Bubblegum, Decorated Grocery Sack
