Just because Sandee of Comedy Plus is no longer hosting a Silly Sunday blog hop, do not expect me to quit telling Cajun jokes, especially as it has now become a habit.
Little Girl came in and sat down with a sigh.
"Are all men like Alston?" she asked.
Boyfriend trouble?
"Yesterday I reminded him that I am going to a party tomorrow night at my friend Maggie's house, and he's angry. He says I never told him about the party, but I did tell him, over a month ago when I got the invitation. We knew he couldn't come because he will be on orders, but he's mad at me and I think he's jealous."
Remind him that you are going to your friend Maggie's house, not your friend John, not your friend Charles, Maggie. He has no reason to be jealous. And you did tell him, but he heard and did not retain the information. Next time, text him a picture of your calendar so he can't say you never told him.

An' fin'ly Aline look at him and say, "Mais, if dere would be someone else, do you t'ink I would date you?"

How about a few old photos for old time's sake:

ReplyDeleteMan Rule:
One month advance notification to a man is no notification. One month is just a casual mention that needs to be reinforced at least once a week and twice the week before the event.
Not a man rule, a partner rule!
DeleteBwahahaha! I'll remember this joke!
