JOW With a Bang #1139

 The Fourth of July is when we combine dangerous chemicals: beer and fireworks, to celebrate America.  So I have a few jokes about fireworks, and then I shift to some Rickrolling memes.

“I realize we all grieve in our own way, ma’am but the crematorium staff did not appreciate the fireworks you put in your late husband’s pockets.”

The highlight of the illegal fireworks show was that house burning down.

The final exam for her visual design class was to design a fireworks display. She passed with flying colors.

Why is it that men who sell fireworks are so often called ‘Lefty’ or ’Stumpy’?

^^^^^

If your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand   - You might be a redneck.

<<<< 

How come there aren’t any knock-knock jokes about America?

Because freedom rings.

>>>> 

What’s the difference between a duck and George Washington?

One has a bill on his face, and the other has his face on a bill.

----

What would you get if you crossed George Washington with cattle feed?

The Fodder of Our Country!

~~~

Amidst all of the distractions on this 4th of July, let’s not forget what we’re celebrating:

That the British blew a 13 colony lead

++++

So, it's the 4th of July night and all the dead presidents are gathered around a campfire having a party. They're drinking beer and eating s’mores and just generally having a grand old time when President Washington puts President Lincoln on the spot.
"Hey, heyyyy, Lincoln, do your little speech.
"Oh, yeah, the speech. Yeah, that thing. Nah, I can't. Can't remember it."
"Whaddya mean you can't remember the words? It's the speech; you've said it a million times! You've got that like burned in your brain, right?"
"Well, yeah, normally, sure, I've got it memorized, but that was four s'mores and seven beers ago."

++++++++++++++++++++

And now for something entirely different.[tp1] 

I recently got Rickrolled when I clicked on a link which opened to the music video for Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up.”  Rickrolling is when you troll someone on the internet by linking to the aforementioned song.  Rickrolling has become such a meme that using the words of the song has become another form of Rickrolling in and of itself.  These bits below kind of require you to know the chorus of the popular song.  Here is your very own Rickrolling link.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

 

Rick Astley's releasing a new song 'Brexit'.  It's titled:
Never Gonna Give EU Up

 

Rick Astley’s guide to password management

* Never going to give you out
* Never going to write you down
* Never going to run around and reuse you

 

Why do The Brit’s still use ‘u’ in words like “colour” and “armour”?

Because Rick Astley is British and they are never going to give ‘u’ up.

 

Where is the best place to hide if you are running from the police?

Rick Astley’s house he's never gonna give you up

 

Why did the waitress say when Rick Astley asked to fast track his order of apple pie and vanilla ice cream?

I’m never gonna run around and dessert you.

 

Help! I'm stuck on Rick Astley's roof

He took away the ladder and said he is never gonna let me down.

 

Three things Christ promises he will never do: Won't leave you broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3), won't reject you (John 6:37), and won't leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)

So in essence, Jesus is never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

 

You walk into a bar and see Rick Astley sitting alone

You sit next to him and start talking
Eventually, the conversation leads to talk of your favorite Pixar movies
Rick tells you that his favorite of all time is Up, he even owns a physical copy of the movie with bonus features
You say that you've always wanted to see it but never have
He says it's a great movie, you have to see it
Nervously, you ask Rick if you can borrow his copy of the movie
He says no
He's never gonna give you Up

In doing so, he has let you down.
*This is the Astley paradox*

 

Rick, a salesman, specialized in real estate. As he was talking to a client named Mr. Down about a property. The client said to Rick...

"Never in my life have I seen such a lovely house!"
"Gonna buy it?" asked Rick, worrying about the poor condition of the upper floor.
"Give me the paperwork" said Mr. Down. "I'm gonna."
"You made the right choice." said Rick, while grinning a grin.

"Up we go I guess" said Down "I wanna see the second floor."
"NEVER!" said Rick. “Let’s get dinner first.”
"Gonna pay for me?" asked Down.
"Let me think..... of course, I will."
"You are the best!" said Down But while they were driving to the restaurant they got in a terrible car accident.
"Down! Are you okay?" asks Rick.

"Rick," he says, "read the first word of every line"
"Damnit" said Rick.

 

Here is a little linguistics puzzle for you:

What is the opposite of?

Always

Coming

From

Take

Me

Down

Now say your answers aloud.

 

Enough Rickrolling.  Some random pirate jokes.

 

What is a pirate’s favorite firework?

Argh, M80

 

 A woman asks the Pirate Captain “How far is the closest land?”

“Three miles”, he answers.

“That’s not too bad, in which direction? She asks.

The Captain replied “Down”

======

A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel on his head. The bartender asks, “Hey, what’s with the paper towel?” The pirate says, “Argh, I’ve got a bounty on my head.”

 

And finally, a joke for Catholics.

“I’m sorry daddy, I’ve been a bad girl.”

“We’ve been over this before, Mary.  It’s ‘bless me Father for I have sinned’.”
