Sunday Funnies – LOLs – April 19, 2026

Memories: I was just a junior analyst, but had done a rather complicated analysis on an important topic and was to present it to the VP of Marketing and his reports: the brand managers and marketing directors. In part, this was because I’d done the analysis and so I knew it best and was expected to be able to present this coherently. In part, it was because if the presentation went south, I was an expendable part of the company and could be counseled to find another job before my annual review, or maybe by the end of the week.

In the middle of my presentation, I made a joke. Worse, the joke was on my slides, and up on the screen. There was silence in the room. My boss – and her boss – blanched. Then, blessedly, the VP of Marketing laughed. The rest of the marketing staff therefore also laughed. My career was saved.

I did get some “advice” from my superiors afterwards, though.

Did the VP really think the joke was funny, or did he just feel like giving me a break? I don’t know. I did stay at the company long enough to know that my analysis was correct, and the company had correctly acted on it.

Mitch4 sends this in for the “It’s just odd graphics, there is nothing to explain” Department. “IDU [I initially didn’t understand] why the woman has that very bold and oddly-placed moustache. Is it contributing to the marital-discontent joke?
Nevermind, it’s just part of her hairstyle, seen past where her mouth is drawn.”

Yes, at first glance it looks like a Hitler moustache, something few women wore even in 1930s Germany. Certainly if my wife started sporting one, I’d start considering my options.

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.

Sunday Funnies – LOLs – January 25, 2026

Mitch4 sends this in: “Not genuinely funny enough for LOL, but it was an “oh yeah, exactly that has happened to me!”. Mine was not a refurb but a brand new vacuum. After a few weeks I thought the cylinder looked full, and while trying to find the “detach to empty” latch I pressed the “open the bottom lid in place” button instead, and had the pile of refuse on my floor.”

Like, man, I might not be getting it…

From Dirk the Daring, an Oddly Enough:

Dirk comments, “Rooollll a another one….I think maybe I get it. Does he want a dog that can sniff out where to buy his next bag of dope?  I dunno, maybe I’m just slow.  Or I’ve taken too many hits myself.”

I’m thinking “Where to buy” or maybe just to find weed that he’s forgotten about in his apartment? Cop’s hat says NYPD and I’m told that dispensaries are on every block there (mostly unlicensed), so I don’t think he should need help finding one. And Tomlinson lives in New York, so it’s not like he’d be unaware. ‘Tis a mystery!
