Who pays the Checker?

Here is a relevant question which the US Congress will have to debate:

Who pays the Checker?

There are important questions to be answered about recent LGBT bathroom legislation and whether transgender people will be permitted to use a restroom of the gender that they "identify" with or be required to use the restroom of their biological gender.

If the latter, would public restrooms be required to have a Genital Inspection Station at the entrance to all public restrooms?

Who will have to pay these Pecker Checkers, the people using the restroom, or the entity that owns the restroom?

And how much money will a Pecker Checker be paid to check peckers?

Or, do we pay a Pecker Checker by the number of peckers checked?

How many peckers can a Pecker Checker check if a Pecker Checker could check peckers?

What has this country come to when the U.S. Department of Labor has to create a new job description of Politically Correct Restroom Service Inspectors?

Tour of a whisky distillery.

 It’s probably heretical, but must be seen in the public interest.

An Irish Fisherman

 The rain was pouring down outside O'Connor's Irish Pub. There standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub was an old Irishman, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water.  A passer-by stopped and asked him:  "What are you doing?”

“Fishing” replied the old man.

Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent says:

 “Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me.”

In the warm ambiance of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the gentleman, being a bit of a superior smart ass, cannot resist asking:
"So how many have you caught today?"

“You're the 8th", replied the old man.

10 points to ponder as 2020 draws to a close .....

1.  The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.

2.  2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.

3.  The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their “Children” are yelling at them to stay indoors!

4.  This morning I saw a neighbour talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I went indoors & told my dog....  We had a good laugh.

5.  Every few days try your jeans on, just to make sure they fit. Pyjamas will have you believe that all is well in the kingdom.

6.  Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?

7.  I never thought the comment, “I wouldn’t touch him/her with a 6-foot Barge pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!

8.  I need to practise social-distancing from the refrigerator.

9.  I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the Dustbins.....Might even Blow-dry my hair.

10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go into a bank with a mask on and ask for money!

Jewish Comedians.

 Jewish Comedians. Some of us miss the old kind of (Yiddish) humour. Not a single swear word in their comic routines as shown below:

 

A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says, "Are you comfortable? "The man says, "I make a good living."

"Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak."

The son said, "Why are you so weak?" She said, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."

The son said, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?" The mother answered, "Because, I didn't want my mouth to be full in case you should call."

Seniors Problems

 A group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments.

"My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad; I can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time, my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third.

"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you!"

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fourth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.

"I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said another.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your Blessings," said a woman cheerfully - -.

Stranded Irishman

 An Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, finally saw a speck on the horizon.

As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft.

Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit. Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde.

Shaking her tresses, she walked up to the stunned Irishman and said, "Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a good cigar?"

"Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman.

With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter.

He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. "Faith and Begorrah," said the castaway, "that is so good! I’d forgotten how great a smoke can be!"

"And how long has it been since you’ve had a drop of good Bushmills Irish Whiskey?" asked the blonde.

Trembling, the castaway replied, "Ten years."

Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him.

He opened the flask and took a long drink.

“Tis nectar of the gods!" shouted the Irishman. "Tis truly fantastic!!!”

At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle.

She looked at the trembling man and asked, "And how long has it been since you played around?"

With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there !!"

Don't make old people mad!

 An old physician, Doctor Gordon Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open a medical clinic.

 He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's Clinic. Get your treatment for $500 - if not cured, get back $1,000."

Doctor Digger Young, who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.

Dr Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?"

Dr Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from the box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."

Dr Young: 'Aaagh! -- This is Gasoline!"

Dr Geezer: "Congratulations!
You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

Dr Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.

Dr Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Dr Young: "Oh, no you don't -- that is Gasoline!"

Dr Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."

Dr Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!"

Dr Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, "Here's your $1000 back" (giving him a $10 bill).

Dr Young: "But this is only $10!"

Dr Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

*Moral of story* -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer” . 

*Remember:* Don't make old people mad.  We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DAD !!!!!!!!!!!

 Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.

 "Like sitting around drinking wine isn't a good thing?" I asked.

Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favourite topic of conversation. She says she is "only thinking of me," and suggested, I go down to the Senior Centre and hang around with some of the lads there.

So, I did and when I got home, I decided to play a prank on her. I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.

She replied, “Are you nuts? You're 73 years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"

I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled,

"Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses? This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!"

The line went dead.

Life as a Senior isn't getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.....

DILLBERRY SIGHTINGS AND DILL DETECTIONS:

 You can’t make this stuff up! 

We went through to the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the attendant a $5 note.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.'

She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.

I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'

The attendant then gave me back 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the people at McDonald's.

 DILLBERRY: 

We had to have the garage door repaired.

The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.

I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a half a horsepower.

He shook his head and said,  'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'

I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'Nooo, it's not.  Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since.  This happened in Ipswich, Queensland.

 DILLBERRY:

I live in a semi-rural area.

We recently had a new neighbour call the local council office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road. 

The reason:  'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing  anymore.' 

Story from Collingwood, Melbourne.

 DILLBERRY:

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,  'Has  anyone put anything in your luggage without your knowledge?' 

To  which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'

He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

This  happened in Elizabeth S.A.

DILLBERRY: 

The  pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.

I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of  mine.

She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.

I explained that it lets blind people know when the light is red.

Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?'

She  is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.

DILL: 

When  my husband and I arrived at the garage to pick up our car after a  service, we were told the keys had been locked in it. 

We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.

As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.

‘Hey,' I announced to the mechanic, 'it’s open!'

His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'


STAY ALERT!    They walk among us... and breed!

Paraprosdokians

Do you know what Paraprosdokians are? No? Well, they are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected; Winston Churchill loved them:

1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

2. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

3. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

4. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

5. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

6. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to Tell you why it isn't.

7. To steal ideas from someone is Plagiarism. To steal from many is called Research.

8. In filling in an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, notify who: I put Doctor

9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

10. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the Street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they look Sexy.

11. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a Successful man is usually another woman.

12. A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.

13. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

14. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Nor is there any future in it.

15. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

16. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than Standing in your garage makes you a car.

17. I 'm supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Voted the Ladies favourite E-MAIL OF THE YEAR

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: 'Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day' God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman... He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning. He took it to the cleaners, stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries. He paid the bills and balanced the check book. cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then, it was already 1 p.m so he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, sweep and mop the kitchen floor. He ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.  He set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 pm. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: - 'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, Oh! Please, let us trade back.. Amen!' The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. But you'll have to wait nine months, though. As you got pregnant last night"

When is it OK to Use the "F" Word?

Question:  When is the use of "f***" or "f***ing" acceptable?

George Custer, 1877   8. "Any f***ing idiot could understand that." Albert Einstein, 1938.   7. "It does so f***ing look like her!"

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 24

A week after receiving my letter from the NHS telling me that I was a vulnerable person and should be shielded and get preference for deliveries I am still waiting for the supermarkets to accept that. Fortunately I have many friends willing and happy to shop for me.

Anyway, enough negativity, lets get a few cartoons to hopefully brighten your day!

Finally, if you are actually reading this, do me a favour and leave a comment of some sort so that I know that I am not going mad and am talking to myself. Please is there anyone out there or am I all alone?

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 19

Coronavirus recovery! I posted on Friday that a good friend had been taken to hospital with coronavirus. I am glad to report that he has now been sent home, feeling much better. The only symptoms he now has is that he has gone off the taste of alcohol, whether it is beer or whiskey and his appetite is not too good.

I am still waiting for the Government to notify the supermarkets that I am on the most vulnerable list so I can get home delivery. But to be fair we are in the middle of the Easter holiday period and they do have rather a large number to send out. In the meantime we have some very good friends who will do shopping for us if necessary, so we will not starve.

I will finish for now with the following notice that I saw today:-

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 18

Heard today that a good friend had been taken into hospital with coronavirus.

His wife told us while he was freezing cold this morning, she said he felt very hot. He’s been sleeping a lot the last couple of days and has not been eating or drinking much, so she phoned for an ambulance. When it arrived they said he had a high temperature, high blood pressure and was dehydrated. He’s now in the hospital on a drip, and it has been confirmed he has COVID 19! 

Our deepest thoughts are with him and his family.

As he is one of my friends responsible for sending me some of the jokes that I have posted, I'm sure he will not mind me sharing these with you! 

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 15

Tuesday evening and must admit I had a little shock this afternoon when I received a text message from the NHS Coronavirus Service stating that I am at high risk of developing serious illness if I catch coronavirus and that I should remain at home for 12 weeks! Also I should keep away from anyone else living in the household. I am living with my partner and we are advised to use separate beds, I should eat on my own, use my own towels, my own bathroom and keep out of the kitchen.

I do have a mild lung condition (uip) but my lung function tests have always been good and my consultant has even increased the time between the tests from 6 months to a year. I had initially wondered if this would be a problem but thought I would have heard well before now, if that was the case.

I am not sure just how far we shall go in maintaining our distance as we have been living normally in Lockdown for over 2 weeks now and have both been adhering to Social Distancing on the odd occasions we go out. 

Looking on the bright side, we should now be able to get home delivery from the major supermarkets who have been concentrating on the most vulnerable customers, of which I am now one, as well as being on the old side - 71 to be precise!

Nevertheless, I shall continue annoying friends and readers alike by posting cartoons/memes that amuse me. Here are three for tonight. I certainly can relate to the first one!

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 14

Had the weekend off from posting - so many other things to do :-) Had our first meeting on Zoom yesterday with children and grandchildren - good to see and hear them. 

Finished the Karchering today so now having a well earned rest! Nothing else has really changed. It was a sunny weekend and there were plenty of idiots ignoring the governments instructions not to go out other than for essential shopping and exercise and to keep social distancing (two meters apart). 

The stupidest and most selfish person in the news over the weekend though, must be Scotland’s chief medical officer, Catherine Calderwood, who has quit after facing intense criticism for breaking her own rules to twice visit her second home during the coronavirus outbreak.

Despite being the voice of the Scottish government’s public information campaign urging people to avoid all non-essential travel, it has been revealed that the Calderwoods and their three children had spent Friday night at their holiday home, taking walks with their dog to a local beach.  Furthermore she and her husband had also visited the previous weekend.

I think the above story leads very nicely into the following:-
