WELCOME to FRIDAY AUGUST 7th, 2026
Here’s The Story…..
Three rich brothers each wanted to do something special for their elderly mother on Mother’s Day.
The first brother bought her a huge house. The second brother gave her a limousine, with a driver.
The third brother remembered that his mother used to love to read the Bible, but couldn’t see well
anymore, so he got her a specially trained parrot that could recite any verse from the Bible on demand.
Soon, the brothers received thank-you notes from their mother. The first son’s note said, “The house
you bought me is much too big! I only live in a small part of it, but I have to clean the whole thing!”
The second son got a note that said, “I rarely leave the house anymore, so I hardly use the limo you
gave me. And when I do use it, the driver is so rude!” The third son’s note said, “My darling baby boy,
you know just what your mother loves! The chicken was delicious!” 😯🙂😂
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT WEEKEND ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Thursday’s Quizzler is….
Forrie Agincourt and Sarah Bellum alit from the train at Union Station. As they followed the crowd toward the stores, Forrie carefully dodged anyone wearing a small hat. Sarah Bellum watched him for a minute, finally figuring out that he was practicing “cap-shun” from their on-board word game. She giggled and leaned forward to speak to him over the bustle of the crowd.
“We came in on location #9; I hope we get one higher on the way home.”
“Huh? Why?” Forrie asked.
“I’ve been under too much ten-shun lately.” Forrie made a horrid face and mimed sticking a finger down his throat.
“You can get away with that once, but not twice, young man!”
“I’m sorry, Aunt …”, and he noticed the smirk on her face.
“For every ac-shun, there is an equal and opposite re-ack-shun. I’d have to avoid the second time, right?”
Forrie’s face twisted in on itself, but he kept his fingers away from his mouth.
“I was going to wait for the trip home, but I think I’d better retaliate now.”
“You have more shun words?”
“Yup.”
