Holidaze JOW #1304

The holidays are here in full force.  I always associate this time of year with fall and the onset of winter.  I do not associate it with low temperatures in the mid 70’s.  It is way too hot to be Thanksgiving.  That said, the calendar says it is time for Thanksgiving – and I am genuinely thankful for all my many blessings and look forward to the feast itself.  I have some jokes about Thanksgiving and pies and such.  Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

 

For those who need hints on how to take a nap in a chair after Thanksgiving dinner, let me offer some hints.  

Be old

Sit in a chair after dinner

 

Pavlov's dogs have started a charity for the holidays...

It's called "The Salivation Army"

 

What do you call two spices saying hello to each other during the holidays?

Seasons greetings

 

Where do bears go for winter holidays?

Hiber-Nation

 

In the past, I've tried to slowly wean myself off my unhealthy habit of eating too many Thanksgiving leftovers, but it never works.

This year I'm going to quit cold turkey.  

 

How do you end an argument with your family this Thanksgiving?

Why don’t Greeks celebrate thanksgiving?

Because they hate Turkey

 

Why don’t turkeys mind thanksgiving?

Because they don’t have to worry about buying Christmas presents

 

Why don’t we eat Turducken on Thanksgiving?

It’s too fowl.  Actually, it’s three fowls

 

An exhausted Tyson industrial butcher walks into a bar two days after Thanksgiving and orders a beer. "So you're a butcher, eh?" the bartender asks.

"Do you have to do nasty stuff like pluck the turkeys?"

"Yes," the butcher sighs.

"So which side of a turkey has the most feathers?" the nosy bartender asks.

The butcher sighs again, "The outside."

 

A man went into a cafe for lunch today and ordered the nicest sounding thing on the menu, home-cooked pie.

"Excuse me, love." he said to the waitress, after my first bite. "This is cold."
"Well of course it is." She replied. "I live miles away from here."

 

Speaking of pie, or pi rather.

What do you get when you divide a pumpkin's circumference by its diameter?
Pumpkin-pi!

 

I love pie.

I could eat it 22/7.  (A fractional joke)

 

I think my favorite Thanksgiving food is pie, but some people say that’s irrational.

 

What letter can be made into a pie?

P can

 

What did they call the first person to bake a pie?

A pie-oneer.

 

In Jamaica, a slice of pie costs $3.50. In the Bahamas, a slice of pie costs $5.50.

These are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

 

Chicken pot pie.

My three favorite things. How about you?

 

A guy opens up a bakery specializing in pies.

He calls it Fool’s Gold Bakery. The slogan is “We do Pyrite.”

 

Did you hear about the sailor who turned into a pumpkin pie?

He's a squashbuckling pirate

 

A man’s wife threw a pie in his face and stormed out of the house.

He was desserted!

 

I was trying to figure out why someone would throw a pie in my face.

And then it hit me.

 

Some good old knock, knock jokes

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Ben!
Ben who?
Ben waiting for Thanksgiving all year!

 

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Gladys!
Gladys who?
Gladys finally Thanksgiving Day!

 

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Dishes!
Dishes who?
Dishes a very bad Thanksgiving joke!

 

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Gwen.
Gwen who?
Gwen do we finally get to eat Thanksgiving dinner?

 

Enough of the holiday theme

My roommate in college always gave us advice on what psychedelics to try on different holidays.

He was the original trip advisor.

 

And old people are not being lazy.  We are just energy efficient.

 

At my age the best part of waking up is realizing you did not die in our sleep

 

The problem is that younger me did not realize there would be an older me.

 

I need a new friend.  The last one escaped.

 

As I have gotten older I have learned that pleasing everybody is impossible.  On the other hand, pissing everybody off is a piece of cake.

 

An Irish Toast

My you live as long as you want and not want for as long as you live.

 

French Toast

Eggs, bread, cinnamon, and syrup

 

A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. "How did Thanksgiving go at your place?" the bartender asks.

"Oh, it went fine. Had a lot of family over and the wife prepared the meal. I helped out, though. She got a little stressed out and told me she needed some peace and quiet in the kitchen so she could finish cooking," the guy says. "So, I removed all the batteries from the smoke detectors."

 

Finally, as a public service I am providing women some useful tips.

Ladies, sometimes you just have to tell your husband a really long, meandering story involving people he doesn't really know doing things that don't pertain to him. The important thing is knowing when the right time is to do it.

Here are the perfect times to interrupt what he's doing to tell him a story:


·        The last two minutes of his team's playoff game: The tighter the score, the better.a

·        When he turns his nightstand lamp off and lays his head on his pillow: He wouldn't do those things if he actually wanted to sleep.

·        On a long car ride: It's not like he can go anywhere.

·        When he's halfway out the door to go hang out with the guys: You can also try stopping the story to do something else and make him wait for you to come back to the story.

·        As soon as he's holding something incredibly heavy: Make sure you don't start until after he has already lifted it, though.

·        When you can tell he needs to go to the bathroom: Hearing you out is far more important than urgent bodily functions.
