Stand and deliver, dude!!

It would be a good name for a cat!

I was waiting for a parcel from Amazon today. Got an email from the transport company telling me the parcel would be delivered "between 1.30 and 2.30 PM."

That's real nice and all--but they didn't send the email until 2.40 PM.

Fortunately for me, the parcel arrived at 1 PM.

Will you be a next-day Male?

Oh, don't be like that...we can Envelope you in our love if you'll just stick with us! Do you have POST-operative depression?

Let's seal the deal!

(Question: do they still have the Christmas/Easter seal drives in the US?)

Oh cod-piece, you lot, piece!

Mail coats AR MOUR comfortable than plate of proof, certainly.

Not to sugar-COAT it, but I think we should, before someone gets in a SWEATer.

Thanks to Felicity Kendall for this one:

As Titian was mixing rose madder,
His model reclined on a ladder.
Her position, to Titian, suggested coition,
So he ran up the ladder an' 'ad 'er.

Reminds me of a poster I saw back in the 70s that said:
"I know you think you understand what you believe I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant."

How do giraffes race?
Neck and neck.

What is the proper way to greet a giraffe?
High there! (look up and wave big)

His bark is much worse than his bite.

Oh no, now I've got an earworm:
"He said, leave me alone, I'm a family man, and my bark is much worse than my bite.
And he said leave me alone, I'm a family man, but if you push me to far I just might!"

(Yeah, right, lay it all on the girl for "tempting" you.)

He sure SAW the difference when he switched.

It's also when the big guys started aiming everything at highschool kids. Comedies, music, books....suddenly kids had money to spend so everything was aimed at them. And it was at that level of "cleverness." We all know about highschool humour...very HTBT, very "funny at the time" but a few days later nobody laughs.

Now you're cookin' with gas, Doggy!

A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a miniature goat in the front seat.
"What are you doing with that goat? " He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."
The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the goat again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over.
"I thought you were going to take that goat to the zoo! "
The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend! "

Funny how when some guys come in from fishing, they've caught something that's already breaded and fried...LOL

It's not the size of the boat, it's what you catch with it!

Even the fiction written in the eighties has not aged well. That is when these formula fiction series behemoths got their start. They write 20-30 novels that are basically the same template with tweaks.
