I’ve tired to figure out what message is trying to be sent by the writers and can’t.

This is the big joke page right?

But another family dog and a cat didn't test positive.
The family's lizard wasn't tested.

Blatant discrimination, I say! Herpetophobia rears its ugly head.


On the other hand, apparently the US has an abundance of test kits.

So the one tested positive and one dog and cat tested negative. Did that mean they all passed . none failed ? Or did the positive one actually fail? I thought +|s were good ? so he gets a + and fails?
Then the negatives - passed but didn't get anything?

To add to this unemployment problem, Just was reminded that school will not start till next fall. So now we have a jillion seniors graduating now till mid June . But not going to school now . That adds a lot to job force with no jobs. no summer school collage . low income so no unemployment pay either. And a lot of parents waiting on kids to leave home? I would give them my job but it might not last long now that so many are doing nothing.
So new resumes read did you graduate ===no they closed school .
Ok what did you work on since school. I have been busy doing nothing.

Re: The New Joke Thread

neighbor wearing mask and gloves came over to use phone . he sat on his. I wiped it down with a wipe and handed to him. He told me I should not joke about this virus, He was a nurse 30 years ago. he doesn't work his wife does. I told him I don't have much else to do for the rest of my life. he called his wife and left quickly.

Re: The New Joke Thread

I don't understand again, everyone complaining about staying home with nothing to do. It is what I've been doing for years and think it is a great job, I never run out of work. The pay isn't great. I did apply for 2 jobs . Town drunk and beach bum. Mayor said both was filed . Naturally his brother was doing both. double dipping.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Ref the points,
Harley Davidson years ago built a three wheeled two stroke golf cart, it had a belt driven starter generator and two sets of points.
To go forward one set of points were used and the starter / generator spun the motor in one direction.
To go in reverse, the second set of points were used and the starter / generator spun the motor backwards.
Silly thing ran just as well in both directions.
