[Friday Joke] He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him. His heart was pumping frantically, and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him. At that instant the atheist cried out, “Oh my God!” Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. It was then that a bright light shone upon the man and a voice from heaven asked, “You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don’t exist and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?” The atheist looked directly into the light. “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the bear a Christian?” “Very well”, said the Voice. The light went out, and the sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke: “Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful, Amen. |

[Escape] What would happen if our Keys got attacked by crazies from Cuba or Miami? Where and what can we do? |
![]() [Name That Bird] This bird was high in a buttonwoods tree whooping and whooping. I think it is a gull of some sort because of the turned down beak. |
[Politics vs Health] Un-vaccinated people are giving Covid to other un-vaccinated people. In “Red States” the virus is spreading fastest. 80% of Red State people are un-vaccinated. |

[Cubans] Islamorada charter captain intercepts 5 Cubans in a chug 21 miles offshore. Gives them water and food and sends them on their way. Dumb ass! They were found by Coasties, thank God. This charter jockey should be arrested for not notifying authorities. Welcome to the Keys. |

[Friday Joke] Patient: How often do people die during the procedure? Doctor: Just once. |
![]() [Orange Flavor] How come only La Croix sparkling water is the only orange flavored sparkling water? |
[Covid] How can we believe anyone when everyone has different advice. Maybe the next time a plague hits the world we’ll have our s**t together and have a unified message. |

[Friday Joke] I sent that ancestry site some information on my family tree. They sent me back a pack of seeds, and suggested that I just start over. |

[Covid] Here we go again with the contradictory messaging. The CDC Says one thing, the vaccine companies say another, and TV yet another. What a mess. |
[Big Kahuna Contest] Good Health Clinic is excited to announce that after 2 postponements due to the pandemic, the Big Kahuna Contest is back!

[“That poster’s racist mindset”] What in the original post about gun control was racists? I suspect the new post was written by one of those frightened-old-White men who only sees life from one narrow view |

[Friday Joke] One liners: I’m on two diets. I wasn’t getting enough food on one. A cold seat in a public restroom is unpleasant. A warm seat in a public restroom is worse. Apparently RSVP’ing to a wedding invitation “Maybe next time,” isn’t the correct response. Don’t irritate old people. The older we get, the less “Life in prison” is a deterrent. Have you ever listened to someone for a minute and thought, “Their cornbread isn’t done in the middle.” Aliens probably fly by earth and lock their doors I asked my wife if I was the only one she had ever been with. She said yes, all the others were nines and tens. It turns out that being an adult now is mostly just Googling how to do stuff. I miss the 90’s when bread was still good for you and no one knew what kale was. Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think “That can’t be accurate.” I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas. As I watch this new generation try to rewrite our history, one thing I’m sure of, it will be misspelled and have no punctuation. I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday. Confuse your doctor by putting on rubber gloves at the same time he does. My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they make food right in front of you. I took her to Subway. |
