This isn’t really one, but it’s a cute story anyway.
I was a nanny for a family with 4 kids a couple of years ago. The oldest 2 were boys, about ages 4 1/2 and 6, who would “play” with their dad by jumping on top of him to “surprise” him. (he was a willing participant) One evening I was sitting in the living room and the boys were “playing” with their dad. One says to the other, “Ok, you go ‘stract (meaning distract) him and I’ll jump on him.” The 2nd child (the younger one) runs up to his dad and yells, “Stract, stract, stract!”
We were laughing so hard, it actually worked as a distraction. :)

politics can be broken down into its root words; poly meaning many and ticks being blood sucking parasites. I forget where I first saw this but with elections coming soon I can’t stop thinking about it.

Here’s a Marx quote:

Lady: Why that’s Bigamy!

Groucho: Well, sure it’s bigamy. It’s big of you too…. Let’s all be big for a change!

In the age of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, these have morphed into Redneck definitions. My favorite: Cantaloupe – when you have to get married in a church.

Ira,

I just saw your daffynism and got a good laugh. Not bad. It took me a minute.
