WELCOME to TUESDAY MAY 19th, 2026

Here’s The Story……….
A Swiss guy in New York is looking for directions, so he pulls up
at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.

“Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks.

The two Americans just stare at him.

“Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?” he tries. The two continue to stare.

“Parlare Italiano?” No response.

“Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing.

The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says,
“Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.”

“Why?” says the other. “That guy knew four foreign languages, and it didn’t do him any good.” 

That’s my story and Im stickking to it! Have a WONDERFUL TUESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

QUOTES OF THE DAY…

“An Ohio-based company made a cup holder for dip that attaches to a dashboard
so you can eat chips and dip while you drive. I don’t have a joke about this, I just
wanted to remind you we’re still the greatest country in the world.” -Conan O’Brien

“A new study has found that specially trained pigeons can have up to an 85 percent
accuracy rate of detecting breast cancer in humans. Which means that 15 percent
of the time it’s just a pigeon staring at your boobs.” -Seth Meyers

“Astronomers announced today that they have discovered an earth-sized planet in
our corner of the galaxy that is potentially habitable by humans. Yeah, they think
the planet may have breathable air and drinkable water, which is impressive because
we barely have those things here in Los Angeles. The planet in question orbits a star
called Ross 128. It’s part of a larger system that includes Chandler,
Joey and Monica 128.” -James Corden

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?

ANSWER: Read the first line of the first verse, then the first line of the second verse.
Next read the second line of the first verse, then the second line of the second verse,
and so on. The treasonable character of the lines will become apparent.

“The pomps of Courts and pride of kings
I fain would banish far from hence.
I prize above all earthly things;
The ‘Rights of Men’ and ‘Common Sense’.
I love my country, but the King,
Confusion to his odious reign.
Above all men, his praise I sing.
That foe to princes, Thomas Paine.
The Royal banners are displayed,
Defeat and ruin seize the cause.
And may success the standard aid
Of France, its liberties and laws.”
