I hope you have noticed it has been a while since my last Friday Funnies.   I could give countless reasons, but no real excuses. I've missed it a great deal, but truth be know, it may be a while before you see another one. I have learned the hard way that there are only so many hours in a day, any only so many days in a week.    I have opted to spend more time with my family, and have no regrets.   I love this little e-newsletter, but can't allow it to sacrifice time away from my family or my job.    Please keep a watch out for my next Friday Funny, I will be sure to put one out as often as I can, but it may be a while before I can be get back to the weekly feature.  

I hope you can forgive me. In the meantime, Happy Halloween. Oh, and don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night (or early...very early Sunday Morning).




Sometimes, I think  you just need to bring back the classics, so...  

A bald man with a wooden leg gets invited to a Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.  A few days later he received a parcel with the following note:

 *********************************************************



Dear Sir,  Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit.  With your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.  Very truly yours,

Acme Costume Co.



 *********************************************************
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:

 *********************************************************


Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk's habit.  The long robe will cover your leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.
Very truly yours,

Acme Costume Co.


 *********************************************************
 Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint.  The next week he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:

 *********************************************************
 Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts.  Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your butt and go as a caramel apple.  Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
