Unforgettable days...

Today marks the anniversary of the girls' arrival in our neck of the woods. We drank wine, ate French cheeses and laughed until it hurt. We haven't managed to stay up until 4 am since then...

Thank you, CC, TW and Irishgirl for the fantastic days (and nights)!


I'd like to keep a French theme for today's celebration. A few years back there were some commercials for Boursin, a soft cheese with garlic and herbs. The text was always the same: "Du pain, du vin, du Boursin," until they came out with this ad:

A touching dedication

An anonymous reader dedicated these jokes to Mrsgunka and Pallottine:

A wife asks her husband:

"Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"

He replied, "They had avocados."

If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time. 

My work is done here.

Water in the carburetor

WIFE: "There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor."
HUSBAND: "Water in the carburetor? That's ridiculous "
WIFE: "I tell you the car has water in the carburetor."
HUSBAND: "You don't even know what a carburetor is. I'll check it out . Where's the car?"
WIFE: "In the pool"

HE MUST PAY

Husband and wife had a tiff. Wife called up her mom and said, "He fought with me again, I'm coming to live with you." Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake. I'm coming to live with you."

Today's Short Reading from the Bible. 

Genesis:

"And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth." Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!
