You all may find this humorous, but not me (at least for today).
I went for a bike ride this morning and while on the outgoing trip kept saying I can go farther (I ended up going to the county line and as a result ended up riding over 27 miles).
A couple of miles before the county line I started to fade. However I kept going and made it to the county line. That felt good.
However the return trip took forever (with multiple stops). Finally made it home 9 hours after I left.
I am beat and sore and worn out and sun burned.
I know my wife will look at me and say "Idiot".
Can't say I disagree with her.
And I thought walking five miles during and after work today was an accomplishment.
A devoted wife had spent her lifetime taking care of her husband.
When he was slipping in and out of a coma for several months, she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.
"When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side.
"You know what?"
"What, dear?" his wife asked gently.
"I think you bring me bad luck."

My boss always laughed at my jokes at work, but since the pandemic she never laughs at them in Zoom chats.
I asked her why she doesn’t laugh at them anymore.
She replied, ‘Because your jokes aren't remotely funny.
Two guys were at a country Fair where the restroom was a 4 stall outhouse.
A quarter fell out of one of their pockets into the hole and down to the bottom.
The guy who lost his quarter stood there for a minute and then took out his wallet and dropped a $5 bill into the hole.
The other guy asked, "Why in the heck did you do that?"
Well, you don't think I'm going down there for just a quarter!

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife.
Tearfully she explained,
“It’s the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone.
I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone.”
Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology.
Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him,
“Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I’d locked the house with both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my keys.”
Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket.
Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire.”
“When I finally got to the store a bunch of people was waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, all the time the damn phone was ringing off the hook.”
He continued,
“Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make a change, and they spilt all over the floor. I had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke.”
“Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let-up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer and believe me, mister, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her.”
A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie’s lamp. She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared. The amazed woman asked if she was going to receive the usual three wishes.
The Genie said, “Nope … due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages in third-world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So … what will it be?”
The woman didn’t hesitate. She said, “I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.”
The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, “Gadzooks, lady! These countries have been at each others throats for years. I’m good, but not THAT good! I don’t think it can be done. Make another wish.”
The woman thought for a minute and said, “Well, I’ve never been able to find the right man. You know, one that’s considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, who also gets along with my family, doesn’t watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That’s what I wish for … a great mate.”
The Genie let out a long sigh and said, “Let me see that stinking map lady!”
Two city slickers decide they were going to go bear hunting.
They arranged for a cabin in the deep woods. Joe was to cook breakfast and Zeke was going to go out and scout around for a bear...but when he found one, it charged at him and he forgot to load his rifle and dropped it and ran for the cabin. As he tried to run up the step to the door, he fell and the bear ran right by him and broke through the door and in to the cabin!
Zeke jumped up and closed the door and hollered, "Here's one Joe, dress him out, I'm going after another."

A lost dog strays into a jungle. A lion sees this from a distance and says with caution "this guy looks edible, never seen his kind before".
So the lion starts rushing towards the dog with menace. The dog notices and starts to panic but as he's about to run he sees some bones next to him and gets an idea and says loudly "mmm...that was some good lion meat!".
The lion abruptly stops and says " woah! This guy seems tougher then he looks, I better leave while I can".
Over by the tree top, a monkey witnessed everything. Evidently, the monkey realizes the he can benefit from this situation by telling the lion and getting something in return. So the monkey proceeds to tell the lion what really happened and the lion says angrily "get on my back, we'll get him together".
So they start rushing back to the dog. The dog sees them and realized what happened and starts to panic even more. He then gets another idea and shouts "where the hell is that monkey! I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago..."
Might be a true story.....check the history books.
It was autumn, and the native Americans on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was the Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets.
When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
Also, being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's definitely going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The native Americans are collecting wood like crazy."

I thought I was clever when I first started taking photos and still maintaining this set up. (If it's not broken don't mess with it)
Until I saw this for 6 dollars more.
"I can't drive, "FIFTY FIVE".
And I thought walking five miles during and after work today was an accomplishment.
Getting old is tough. I may not be that funny, or athletic, or good looking, or smart, or talented…..
I forgot where I was going with this.
And people think that you are crazy for collecting Lowball Coins
