The Mole Family


A mama mole, a papa mole, and a baby mole all live in a little mole hole.


One day the papa mole sticks his head out of the hole, sniffs the air and says,"Yum! I smell maple syrup!"


The mama mole sticks her head out of the hole, sniffs the air and says "Yum! I smell honey!"


The baby mole tries to stick his head out of the hole to sniff the air, but can't because the bigger moles are in the way so he says, "Geez, all I can smell is....

MOLASSES!

LOL!! You may never forgive me for this one either, but ...

A frog walks into a bank to get a loan - the customer service rep, Ms. Whack, tells him his credit isn't good enough for the amount he wants. The frog assures Ms. Whack that there's no problem, his father is Mick Jagger and they know the bank manager. Ms. Whack insists that the frog at least put up some collateral, so the frog gives her a tiny carved wooden trinket.

Ms. Whack goes into the bank manager's office and says: "There's a crazy frog out there who says he knows you and he gave me this little thing for collateral for a loan. I don't even know what this is!"

The bank manager says...


"Why, it's a knick knack, Patty Whack give the frog a loan his ole' man's a rolling stone!"


Admit it, you're laughing!!

Alright...here's my 2 cents

A man stops for coffee on his way to the Office. As he sits at a table, he notices a nice looking blond woman also drinking coffee and reading the paper. He sits next to her. After a few minutes, he sees that she has VERY wide eyes and looks close to tears. As she puts her head in her hands, the man leans over to see what is in the paper that could affect her in this way.

He sees that she was reading the "World News" section and the big bold headline read, "12 Brazillian Men Killed". He looks over at her and says, "I understand. It's very sad when these things happen."

The blond woman shakes her head, wipes away a few tears and looks at the man. She says, "but I don't know how much is a Brazillian!"




heheheheh...I'm blond so please no one take offense!

Welcome to the Cove, jetlag!

The blond woman shakes her head, wipes away a few tears and looks at the man. She says, "but I don't know how much is a Brazillian!"

I had to read this 3 times before I got it--not that I'm slow, although I might be--but it was the position of the verb that threw me. Should be:
"But I don't know how much a brazillian is!"

Don't worry, we don't discriminate on the basis of hair color

(and I spelled Brazilian wrong...oops)

If I've told you once, I've told you a brazillian times...

I thought the convoluted sentence structure might indicate a person for whom English was a second language. Shame on me, but I pictured a Romanian blond I know who could have been a real life model for the anecdote, sentence structure and all.

Spelling! There was a time I was VERY persnickety about spelling. Now, I've grown to accept, "am I sure I understand what this person really means?" as my primary criterion. When in doubt, I often ask.

I hardly cringe at wrong usage of effect/affect, report/rapport, accept/except, allusion/illusion, loose/lose, cite/site, advice/advise, its/it's, passed/past, than/then, to/too, who's/whose any more. The operative term being "hardly."

Yes, it all depends on context. Although I do my best to make sure that my spelling, grammar and usage are correct, in places such as this mistakes will creep in sometimes, and comprehension of meaning is most important. In other cases, though, sloppy writing may be seen as a sign of sloppy thinking. Sometimes it is important to be careful with the language, not only to be sure that one's meaning is communicated properly, but to be sure that you're taken seriously.
