I save postage on blank paper supplies by getting the blank pages emailed to me, which I send to my printer.

(That joke used to work with fax machines.)

I do, somewhere, have a bottle of deionized water that says "do not dilute" on it. I see what they're getting at, but...

From a conversation just now with my wife when I got home from the grocery store... (If I were a cartoonist, I could draw this one up. But since I'm not, here it is in words. And for the record, we are in our early 60's and my wife is a little hard of hearing and I'm a soft talker)

wife>> What's the magazine?

me>> It's from the History Channel on Navy Seals. I saw it in the check-out line and thought it would be interesting.

wife>> What?!

me>> I thought it would be interesting, so I bought it.

wife>> You bought a magazine about baby seals?!

She knew that baby seals are a lot, lot cuter! And you know what we say here: hope dies last.

The trouble with ostrich drones is they keep crashing head-first into the sand.

Love is a Skin

love is a skin
that protects you
a warmth that spreads
from the tips of your fingers
to your heart

sorry - not love -
glove, I meant glove

I went to the cinema last night. the man sitting in front of me had his dog with him. The dog seemed really engrossed in the film. When the film ended, I said to the owner «This might seem weird but your dog seemed to really enjoy that». «Yes I was surprised too, he hated the book.»
