In The Market For A Bible?

If you are in the market for a Bible, you don’t have to spend $60. If you have $60 donate that to charity that helps the needy and that sort of thing. Don’t give it to a person who is trying to pay their legal bills and bares bad fruit.

The Key Bridge In Baltimore Collapse

Tragedy struck today as a container ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. Two people were pulled out of the waters below alive but sonar detects several cars at the bottom. This could have been much worse had it happened later in the morning. I hope that the missing will be found and those who survived will be well as soon as possible.

Funny Ha Ha!

Daily writing prompt
What makes you laugh?

I am a 54-year-old man with the sense of humor of a 15-year-old. For many men that is the case. I laugh at stupid things, dad jokes, and standup comics who are smarty pants. John Mullaney, Seth McFarlane, Will Ferrell, Taylor Tomlinson, and Eddie Murphy make me chuckle. I still enjoy anything by The Minions, Saturday Night Live, Stephen Colbert, and others. Of course, you go on YouTube and plenty of pet videos (especially birbs and dogs) can make me laugh. I think humor is kind of personal and with that being said what makes me laugh would make other people roll their eyes. I also like saying situationally funny things and sometimes it gets a laugh from those I love and respect. We need more laughter or else we will all go mad.

Some Sunday Evening Humor

I found this on a dad joke group on The Facebook. There is a difference between Clock and Watch Towers.
