Still Taxing After All These Years, Schedule 1-A

Yes, this is a repeat, with some new additions — like that US tax form, which has added new complexities this year. So we’re splitting it into two parts, like Schedule 1 has become Schedule 1 and Schedule 1-A.

The short form deserves a geezer alert, as it was discontinued years ago. There’s a 1040-SR now for seniors — the only difference is that it’s printed in larger type.

It’s not going to work, Larry.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – March 1, 2026

Not really an LOL quality joke, but an opportunity for a comment. Should the trope of “doctors have bad handwriting” be retired? (Doctors whose bad handwriting was relevant are likely all retired as well.) Nearly all prescriptions are either sent directly to the pharmacy, or printed out from the computerized medical record. That medical record itself isn’t handwritten notes anymore, but notes entered on a computer in medical English — not entirely readable, but for a different reason.

It’s like jokes involving pay phones.

This week I got birthday greetings from my four siblings — two days before my actual birthday. This happens every year. I used to correct them, but it never made any difference. Now I just go with the flow. Perhaps they really know, but it’s a minor practical joke on their part.

Saturday Morning OYs February 7, 2026

Boise Ed sends this in: “I couldn’t pass up submitting this as an “oy.” It’s right there in the punch line.”

An OY by definition.

(Would Apple TV be an OY by high definition?)

Mitch4 sends this in: “Yes, this pun also tickled my funny bone! (And is even a trifle topical, for the “returning to the office” news theme.)”

A nod to the Winter Olympics:

Saturday Morning OYs – December 20, 2025

Boise Ed sends this in: “This strip takes place on a space station. Florence (on the left) is a canine who has been given human-level intelligence. Her human co-worker’s advice is so right!”

Mitch4 sends this in: “Not strictly speaking a pun, but based on verbal ambiguity and misunderstanding.”

One of the copyist errors in the New Testament?

Casting about for understanding

From travelgirl again:

Seems to be my day… guy is asking for a podcaster with what looks like someone lying on the ground surrounded by people…

I almost feel like I’m old enough to be screaming “get off my lawn” when I don’t get some of these jokes :)

Uh, right. The fact that the gawkers are all white might be a clue. There’s a longstanding meme that podcast audiences are largely white, though that seems to be changing: a quick search suggests that “The percentage of white podcast listeners has dropped significantly from historical highs, with figures around 58-59% in 2024 compared to 67% in 2014”. I guess that’s a meaningful change, though it’s only slightly over a 10% drop. I did like a line I heard where some guy said, “I’m so white, most of my sentences start with ‘I was listening to a podcast…'” I might be guilty of this myself at times.

Notwithstanding all that, I still can’t get to anything resembling a joke?!
