Sunday Funnies – LOLs – June 28, 2026

OK, not really an LOL to your editor. It’s a comic that brings back painful memories of actual events.

Adding staff to a project in the middle is problematic: (1) you have to bring them up to speed, and (2) you’re likely to get staff that can be spared from other projects — not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Similarly, a PM (project manager) added in the middle can be useful, or can just be a dysfunctional scheduler of status meetings, status update reports, and, if they are really bad, someone who attempts to assign blame when asked to do so by management. The difference between a good project manager and a poor project manager is immense. [end of rant]

Balloons

Darren sends this in: “Just don’t get it. Are those giant alligators and it’s a Godzilla sort of reference (but the bricks look normal). Or are they regular alligators and the balloons have some sort of tiny people in them? I feel like it’s supposed to be a “reverse”, but I’m not aware of toy balloons with alligators being common.”

Mitch4 sends this in: “Another pun that tickled me this morning. But with Frank and Ernest, you *always* expect a pun.”

billr sends this in: “oy? or is there an ewww?”

Your editor had a total knee replacement on Monday, and has been using stool softeners of both types all week. (all is well now)

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – July 13, 2025

A few days ago, your editor, riding his bike in a bike lane, was right hooked. Both my bicycle and his car had the green light; I’m going straight and his car came up from behind and turned right; luckily I only made contact with the side of his car and was unhurt except for some bruising when I hit the street. The driver said he saw me, but assumed I would stop at the green light because the pedestrian signal said “wait”! My adrenalin was already going wild from the accident and this statement failed to calm me down.

But that’s not the punchline here. While we were waiting for the police, I noticed his car had a temporary license plate. I asked it if was a new car. It was; his previous car had been totaled because he’d been in a t-bone accident the week before.

Saturday Morning OYs – June 28, 2025

Mark H. sends in this censible comic: “This one is just a specimen of five days worth of penny / money puns. 6/17-6/21 could all appear as a single “Oy” section.

I wouldn’t change a thing…”

Mitch4 sends this in: “Quite a bit of phonological compression required, but despite not looking much alike, I can buy it that “Namaste” is a good sound substitute for “Nah, Imma stay” (where “Imma” in turn is a contemporary short form for “I’m gonna”).”
