Garbage is Garbage…Sometimes

Most would agree that minimizing air pollution is a good thing and in the San Francisco Bay are, where we used to live, Spare the Air Day is a big deal. But not many people realize the need for that same type of attention toward other aspects of life, that rhyme with air, and that why I’m involved with Chuckle Control.


People expect things to perform as they desire and often react negatively toward a piece of furniture or an appliance that doesn’t meet their standards. Perhaps that’s why I became upset when the seat I was using on our outdoor patio wobbled and suddenly collapsed, sending me to the ground.

It was my intention to haul that piece of trash out to the garbage but my wife, realizing what I was planning on doing, gently got my attention. “Honey,” she said, “We can’t throw that away. We need to have it repaired and continue using it for seating…it’s a Spare the Chair Day.”

Up to Something Else Funny?

This Fork walks into a bar

When most people say something they regret, there are several next steps.  Mine, after such a situation occurred the other day with my wife, included identifying a new ‘walks into a bar’ joke…

This Fork walks into a bar and asks for a drink.  The bartender, suspecting the utensil of being way to young to be in the bar, let alone trying to buy alcohol, asks for ID.  Lowering his tines in embarrassment, the fork says, “I’m not old enough to have a license but if you let me stay, I think I could be very helpful to you or some of your customers.”  “And why would that be?” the bartender asks sarcastically.  “Well, I’d come in very handy when people need to eat their words.”
