This is me, in five cute cartoons

I'm a confirmed night owl. I got it from my dad and I think mornings suck!

How things have changed...

A man was telling his neighbor, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.”

“Really,” answered the neighbor. “What kind is it?”

“Twelve thirty.”

One day, a cat dies of natural causes and goes to heaven, where he meets the Lord Himself.

The Lord says to the cat, "You lived a good life, and if there is any way I can make your stay in heaven more comfortable, please let me know."

The cat thinks for a moment and says, "Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor."

The Lord stops the cat and says, "Say no more," and a wonderful, fluffy pillow appears.

A few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident, and all of them go to heaven. Again, the Lord is there to greet them with the same offer.

The mice answer, "All our lives we have been chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs, and even women with brooms. Running, running, running; we're tired of running. Do you think we could have roller skates so that we don't have to run anymore?"

The Lord says, "Say no more" and fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates.

Week later, the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him snoozing on the pillow.

The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him, "How are things since you got here?"

The cat stretches and yawns, then replies, "It is wonderful here. Better than I could have ever expected. And those 'Meals On Wheels' you've been sending by are the best!"

Three explorers became lost in the jungle in a remote island and wandered for days with no food and little water. One day, just as they were finally about to give up, they crawled into a clearing and there right in front of them stood a Cannibal's Restaurant. Out front near the entrance was a large menu board. With the little energy they had left, they dragged themselves across the clearing and looked up to see the following menu:

Parboiled Priest $12.00
Roast Lion Hunter $14.00
Steamed Politician $198.50

They struggled in, dragged themselves to a table, and a waiter came to take their order. Before they ordered, one of the explorers asked the waiter "Can you help me understand your menu? The first two items are priced about the same, but the third item, the politician, is priced so much higher. Why is that?"

"Are you kidding?" replied the waiter, "have you ever tried to clean one of those suckers?"

Romantic cartoon

Actually, it's Impressionist as well as romantic!

Clever political commentary

This illustrator has a good eye for bulls*it and assorted shenanigans... His name is Pawel Kuczyski and you can see further illustrations and info about him at THIS LINK.

Monday shocker - UPDATE

UPDATE - I've just realised it's Australia Day today! It must have been in my subconscious when I chose the cartoon...

A lovely cartoon

I hope all of us can still see the child within ourselves... Life is much more fun that way, eh?

Doctor! Doctor!

GrannyJ sent us this joke and while looking for pictures to illustrate it, I found some funny cartoons, so I decided to do a doctor post with the whole lot. Thank you for the joke, GJ.

I NEARLY BECAME A DOCTOR…..

When I was young, I decided I wanted to be a doctor so I took the entrance exam to go to Medical School.

One of the questions asked us to rearrange the letters PNEIS into the name of an important human body part which is most useful when erect.

Those who answered spine are doctors today. 

The rest of us are just sending jokes via email.

I'm late, I'm late...

I had an appointment in Tulle this morning to check my bone density. As we were there, where the big supermarkets are, we did a spot of shopping as well. The good news is that I don't have osteoporosis, only osteopenia, which can be treated. The other good news: Pirate will lose the stitches AND the cone tomorrow. Oh happy day! 

Here are some quick cartoons in case the election results are too depressing. I haven't checked any of the blogs yet and I hope things are going well..

The horror!

This cartoon made me laugh, as I have a ferocious tea drinker at home...

Sleeping in on a lazy Sunday

We all deserve a nice sleep in after the excesses of yesterday's birthday party... especially cat owners!

Thank you, Lynn, for the cartoon.

A quick cartoon

Today's post is a quickie because we're assembling some pieces of furniture from Ikea... We had an interesting day yesterday when we went to their Clermont-Ferrand store. Getting there was fine, the GPS gizmo did a good job. Coming back home was a different story. A massive section of one of the roads was closed and our friendly GPS lady didn't know that. We could hear the panic in her voice: "U-turn. U-turn! U-turn!!!" She does that when we disregard her instructions. In the end I just switched off the sound until we finished negotiating the diversion. 

This cartoon was photographed at an exhibition in Sāo Paulo, Brazil, by a friend of mine. I love the cat's expression!

Now I have to go back to the trusty Allen key...

Google mishap

Batman's surprise

Today I'm posting a quick cartoon because Peter is waiting for me downstairs to go shopping...

Friends giving a helping hand

Surreal cartoon

Today I'm posting something quickly because my nephew is visiting us (the one staying in Dublin) and we want to go out to show him our beautiful corner of France. He has fallen in love with Dublin and has very nice things to say about our Irishgirl. He reckons she's an excellent cook!

More cartoons from the popcorn guy

I posted some cartoons drawn using popcorn a while ago. Here are further examples of incorporating everyday objects into drawings:

A nice cartoon for GrannyJ

PGFan sent us this cartoon specially for GrannyJ. It says a lot about how technology brought changes to the ways in which we communicate... Thank you, PGFan.

                                          

Old age wit and wisdom

GrannyJ sent us a few funnies for the weekend. Thanks, GJ. I added a couple of bonus cartoons so the post wouldn't look "naked."

I just took a leaflet out of my mailbox, informing me that I can have sex at 73. I'm so happy, because I live at number 71 so it's not too far to walk home afterwards. And it's the same side of the street. I don't even have to cross the road!
