WELCOME to MONDAY OCTOBER 19th, 2026
Here’s The Story….
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs,
“I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!”
The four men didn’t wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got
into the driver’s seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.
She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why
there was a football, a Frisbee, and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.
The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn’t stop laughing.
He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad,
elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, with glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
The moral of the story? If you’re going to have a senior moment … make it memorable.
Have a great day or pretend to! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Have a WONDERFUL MONDAY’ people, stay safe, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

FRIDAY’s Movie Trivia of the day!
Perilous Situation!
Answer: The Poseidon Adventure!
One of the more enduring disaster epics that permeated through the 1970s, “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972) provides us with an inventive concept… the perilous situation that the passengers of an ocean liner find themselves in is that that ship has capsized and they are now faced with a series of obstacles as they try to make their way from the top of the ship, which is now underwater, to the bottom of the ship… which now represents the top of it. With a great ensemble cast, which includes the likes of Gene Hackman, as an unlikely preacher, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons and Shelley Winters, we are drawn to these characters, either likeable or not, and the predicament that they’re in and this adds an extra layer to the suspense of this film that bears the tagline “Hell Upside Down”.

MONday’s Quizzler is….
Friends Phoebe and Zoe (both girls) are going on a camping trip with their guy friends Collin, Calvin, and Markus. Each person brought his or her own sleeping bag from home, each a different color (blue, red, orange, green, and yellow). When they arrive at their camping site they decide who is going to do what chore: one person is needed to start the fire; two people are needed to pitch the tents; and two people are needed to prepare the meal. After it gets dark the five friends try to out scare each other with frighteningly scary ghost stories. Each person told one story about either a vampire bat, Bigfoot, a monster, a ghost, or Captain Hook. Your job as an observer to their camping trip is to figure out which person brought which sleeping bag did what chore and told which story. Good luck and bring your own toilet paper!
The girls rode in their own car while the boys drove the truck with all the camping supplies in the back. The boys drove a lot faster than the girls and by the time the girls got to the campsite the tents were already up. Collin was frantically searching for the matches to light the fire but couldn’t find any.
“Leave it to the boys to forget the matches,” Phoebe whispered to Zoe, as Phoebe grabbed the lighter out of her pocket and quickly got it started.
Markus told the girls that he had put their red and yellow sleeping bags into their tent.
Collin’s stomach started growling and so he yelled out “What are we going to eat?? I’m starving!”
Calvin replied, “I’ve got it all under control. We’re having burgers that are already on the grill.”
After dinner the five sat around the campfire and listened to each other tell stories. Phoebe got so scared at Markus’ Captain Hook story that she hid her head under Collin’s blue sleeping bag. Phoebe didn’t believe her story to be just a legend she truly believed in Bigfoot and told her story with great pride. One of the guys with the orange sleeping bag loved scaring everyone with his tale of a monster that roamed the woods and preyed on unsuspecting campers. One of the meal makers told her horrible story of vampire bats while the fire starter fell asleep in their yellow sleeping bag. The owner of the green bag was so tired after having worked so hard at putting up the tents that he feel asleep as well, right in the middle of Collin’s ghost story. Despite all the scary stories the five campers all fell soundly asleep from all their hard work and fun of the day.
