WELCOME to MONDAY MAY 18th, 2026
Here’s The Story……….
The teacher heard Little Johnny use some serious language and was shocked.
“Johnny, don’t you ever use language like that again, not near me, not ever.
Where on earth did you learn that?”
“I got it from my dad,” replies Johnny.
“Well, your daddy should be ashamed.
I hope you don’t know what all that even means?”
“Sure I do,” says Johnny confidently. “It means the car won’t start.”😮😅

QUOTES OF THE DAY…
Did you hear about the weekly poker game with Vasco da Gama,
Christopher Columbus, Leif Erikson, and Francisco Pizarro?
They can never seem to beat the straights of Magellan.
Victor Borge, describing his adventurous boyhood in Denmark:
“Once my father came home and found me in front of a roaring fire.
That made my father very mad, as we didn’t have a fireplace.”
“Oh, so when people call their pets ‘fur babies’ it’s fine, but when
I call a kid a ‘skin dog’ somehow I’m ‘disgusting’ and
‘the worst pediatrician in this hospital’???”

Friday’s Quizzler is….
Five couples were surprised to find out that not only did they all have hyphenated last names,
they had all gotten married in the same year! Determine from the clues below the first and last
names of each couple and in what month they were married.
Note: There were no same-sex couples in the group; each of the men married a woman and vice versa.
Women: Beatrice, Emily, Lucy, Teresa, Wendy
Women’s Last Names: Baker, Ingalls, Landon, Morse, West
Men: Gary, Isaac, Jonathan, Michael, Samuel
Men’s Last Names: Emerson, Gasero, Jimenez, Smith, Thompson
Months: February, April, June, August, October
- No one had a last name that started with the same letter of their first name before they were married. No one married someone whose last name started with the same letter as their first name.
- Emily convinced her husband that Smith-Landon sounded too much like Smith and Wesson, so they hyphenated their names the other way around.
- The five couples are represented by: Wendy, the couple who was married in October, Gary, the Jimenez-Wests, and the couple with Thompson in their name.
- Lucy Ingalls, as she was known before she was married, was thrilled to be able to have the June wedding she had always wanted. Samuel’s bride was perfectly happy having an April wedding.
- Teresa, whose last name included either Morse or West, escaped the winter wonderland of her wedding day by honeymooning in Hawaii. Michael, on the other hand, left the dog days of summer behind when he honeymooned with Beatrice in Alberta.
ANSWER: Beatrice and Michael Jimenez-West were married in August.
Emily and Isaac Landon-Smith were married in October.
Lucy and Jonathan Ingalls-Thompson were married in June.
Teresa and Gary Emerson-Morse were married in February.
Wendy and Samuel Baker-Gasero were married in April.
Monday’s Quizzler is….😎😎
The following lines were written by Arthur Connor, a prominent figure in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. He was arrested and wrote the verses while in prison. He made his escape to France in 1807, where he became a general in the army, and died at age 87.
“The pomps of Courts and pride of kings
I prize above all earthly things;
I love my country, but the king,
Above all men, his praise I sing.
The Royal banners are displayed,
And may success the standard aid.”
“I fain would banish far from hence.
The ‘Rights of Man’ and ‘Common Sense’
Confusion to his odious reign,
That foe to princes, Thomas Paine.
Defeat and ruin seize the cause.
Of France, its liberties and laws.”
These two apparently loyal verses, if properly read, show a very different meaning. Can you discover it?
