Children were called upon a classroom to make sentences with words chosen by the teacher. The teacher smiled when Jack, a slow learner, raised his hand to participate during the challenge of making a sentence with the words "Defeat," "Defense," "Deduct," and "Detail."

Jack stood thinking for a while, all eyes focused on him while his classmates awaited his reply. Smiling, he then proudly shouted out, "Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail."

Buccos, can you or someone explain yours?

Bullfrogs.

"Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said But I helped him drink his wine He always had some mighty fine wine, sing it Joy to the world, all the boys and girls now Joy to the fishiest in the deep blue sea And joy to you and me And if I were the king of the world I tell you what I would do"... (by Three Dog Night).

A favorite song. :)

I guess understanding about Jeremiah the Bullfrog tells others something about our age, doesn't it? If someone posted a joke using most any rap song, I wouldn't get it, but Jerry the Frog I understand. Just call me Boomer. :-)

@Jassydip 1. Move cat to other room.

2. Close door on return.

3. Close ears to anticipated complaint.

@June rosebush ... newly minted commentary related to hope for change in lifestyle?

@dedretired ... some folks experienced in speaking in public claim that paying attention to enunciation can avoid complications, even/(especially?) for people visiting banks while masked (and including tellers).

Thanks for posting that, Annie! I haven't heard that in ages, and thoroughly enjoyed it! It turned a dull gray morning into a happy bouncy morning!

Ditto Rusty!

Pass the joy around, folks.

Think of some humourous stories: put a smile on people's faces.

You've heard of mine about the good thing about masks which nobody talks about being that nobody can see the wrinkles.

Or when your mask is hanging from one ear ... people may claim that you're hung over.

Sorry - haven't figured another covid-related one yet.
