Was there a lawn jockey shortage in the US? “I’ll go to Beverly Hills just before dawn and knock the little jockeys off the rich people’s lawns, and before they get up, I’ll be gone.” — The great Zappa
It was a sad time in our lives when so many store shelves were empty because the ship from China was delayed. Let them remain empty. We, personally, refuse to buy anything from China after what they did to us.
Hope you saw my reply to you late last night when you first posted this before some humorless miserable wretch flagged it & got it taken down. Takes a sorry coward to flag a joke that’s just trying to bring a laugh to lighten someone’s day! I’m sick of the Humor Nazi’s spoiling our fun! And they’ve sunk so low I have no trouble calling them out as Nazi’s since they seek to destroy what doesn’t fit THEIR agenda of stopping the joy of laughter. Guess they lack something their lives so they seek to spread their misery as a way to feel powerful. Crawl back under your bridges Trolls, so that others can enjoy the light & joy of humor. I just don’t understand your problem with the joy of humor. As John Prine sang “But the people I don’t get, get the only fun they get, from people puttin people down”. Keep posting them Steve & others Jokesters. The Anti-humor Nazi’s MUST NOT be allowed to spread their misery & hate ANYMORE! Maybe they might learn to SCROLL PAST & NOT TROLL!
In my little ol’ humble opinion, one of the best things that could happen to the world would be a shortage (or even better, a permanent lack of supply) of garden gnomes. My favorite TV commercial is the one where the allergy sufferer beheads the garden gnome using a weed wacker. Can’t stand the things! Feh!
The room was full of pregnant women and their husbands. The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourselves, and try to stay on a soft surface, such as a grass path.
“As for you men, keep in mind you’re in this together. It wouldn’t hurt for you to go walking with her.”
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this message. After a few moments, a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.
“Yes?” prompted the instructor.
“I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag.”

As to the bear, he probably didn’t appreciate the change in habitat, but was madder because they never asked him if he wanted to.
