Them Changes JOW #1310

A new year always brings thoughts of change.  Well, it does for me, even at my age, kinda…. at this point in my life, I seem to have things pretty much figured out and am aware that not all change is good.  Change can be like a bad haircut: you do not realize how bad it is until it is too late.   I threw in some punctuation jokes, just because as I am writing these days, such things are on my mind.  Here are some short, fast, jokes for your amusement.
