 Hospitals will do almost anything to hide what they are charging you and me. Even their bills don’t say how much things cost. All they give you is a procedure number. All hospitals have different procedure numbers so no one can compare costs. |
| [One Stop Shop] Many things are closing due to inflation. So I’m about to open an affordable Strip-Club/Breakfast-Dinner/Day-Care center. I’m gonna call it “Tits, Grits & Baby Sits.” |

| [Friday Joke] A fisherman returns from his fishing trip and tells his friends, “I caught a fish that was so big, when I got it onto the boat, the boat sank.” “That sounds like a whopper,” his friend replies. “It was,” says the fisherman. “But that’s not the best part. When I swam back to shore, I found the fish sitting there waiting for me.” |
 [Farmers’ Almanac Kaput] It is with great appreciation and heartfelt emotions that we write to share some sad news. After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we’ve made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication. The 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be our last edition. Link |

 [Behavior Police] When you finally get to relax, the last thing you need to put up with is someone playing their music so loud that you hear it inside your home. I love the Keys, living on an island without the noise pollution, with the clean air and the ability to fish just about any time I want, is my paradise. Please be kind, cut out any unnecessary noise. When shopping, don’t block the aisle by talking to another shopper. Don’t block the aisle period. Don’t hold up the line while checking out. If you really need to catch up on gossip, do it on your own time not my time. I am waiting my turn to pay for my groceries, please don’t hold me up with your need to continue to talk to the clerk after your business is complete. I somehow feel better getting this off of my chest. |

 [Eating Stinging Nettles] Spring is here and the nettles are growing again so I decided it was time to make a meal out of them. Most people know that stinging nettles are pesky green plants that irritate the skin when you touch them. What you probably don’t know is that they’re a nutritious source of iron, calcium, potassium, and silica as well as vitamins A, B, C, and K1. Stinging nettles also have anti-inflammatory properties and can relieve arthritis and rheumatism. They can be turned into soups, curries, and risottos. |
| [Friday Joke] I gave an attorney Viagra. He got taller. |

| [Friday Joke] A tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally checking his map to get back on track. After some time, he realizes he is lost. Fortunately, he spots a cab and hails it. He instructs the driver to take him to the most popular tourist spot. The cabbie turns around and says, “No problem, mate. Here we are! Twenty quid, please.” |
