I couldn't resist!

I succumbed to temptation... Here's a Romney joke:

Mitt Romney had a bad reaction to the fake tan he used for the Univision appearance and had to be admitted to hospital for observation.

He was a royal pain to the nurses because of his patronizing attitude.

None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him. They kept passing the buck when it was time to deal with Mitt.

A junior Hispanic nurse drew the short straw, bravely walked into his room and announced,

"I have to take your temperature."

After a few idiotic soundbites, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.

"No, I'm sorry, but for this reading, I can't use an oral thermometer."

Mitt wasn't too happy, but eventually he rolled over and bared his behind. After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce,

"I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!"

She leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses under his breath as he hears people walking past his door, laughing.

After almost an hour, a doctor comes into the room.

"What's going on here?" asked the doctor. Angrily, Mitt answers,

"What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?"

After a pause, the doctor replies,

"Yes, but never with a daffodil!"

Another birthday - UPDATE

Our good friend Pallottine seems to have gone into hiding...

Hey, Irish, we know you're somewhere out there in Arizona and would like to wish you a very happy birthday!





UPDATE

Now we really have to kiss him... how could we possibly resist?

Silly, funny stuff

Tumbleweed sent me a bunch of funny posters (via GrannyJ). I selected a few for your enjoyment. I should warn you that the last two are a bit saucy!

Thank you, TW and GrannyJ.








The saucy ones:

Children and their pets

Grammy97 sent me these heartwarming pictures. We've seen some of them before, but it doesn't matter how many times we see them, it's impossible not to go aww all over again!
















Thank you, Grammy.

Oops... again!

Peter and I were enjoying the garden, the mild weather, chatting away about this, that and the other... and I forgot to do a post!

Hey, here's another sweet cartoon:

Musical heart

We're in a bit of a rush today, taking Paul and Justine to the airport, running errands and other not terribly exciting stuff.

But I found this lovely cartoon to brighten up your day:

A visit to the zoo

Sleuth found these great photos. The origami animals are the creation of a very talented (and patient) South African, Quentin Trollip.










There are many more animals, shown at different angles, in Quentin's Flickr photostream.

Thank you, Sleuth, that was a great find!
