Naughty Saintly Ramblings
During the absence of MadPriest, who is spending the weekend at an undisclosed location, Saintly Ramblings is taking his appointment as chief bad joke supplier very seriously. The thing is that he is posting very funny jokes and very funny real life stories. See his latest on "mouse cleaning".

I have forwarded SR's jokes (the first of the two I think very funny) to a friend of Chinese ancestry to be vetted for political correctness. So far a resounding silence. Not that the individual who was emailing Shirley Q videos to you earlier in the weekend will be drawing definitive conclusions on this.
ReplyDeleteI admit to laughing at the second joke despite its totally non-PC tone.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I craving Chinese food now?
Will this become a euphemism now?
Oh I must stop. Stop!
Why and what is this unhealthy obsession with 'political correctness?'
ReplyDeleteI was just about to say that you should see what Lapin emails me that I don't post. But I do laugh, if they are funny.
ReplyDeleteWhat about all the Boudreaux and Thibodeaux Cajun jokes that float around? No self-respecting Cajun, including me, would take offense. We love them. If they're funny, we laugh. We pass them on, Cajun to Cajun.
"If you prick us, do we not bleed?" I guess not.
I'm not sure anyone should be Required to Respond who has declared on a public (??) blog that he (??) has no ballz.
ReplyDeletePoor mices.
How 'bout "Required to Respond the one who has declared..." in that last.
ReplyDeleteOh poo.
Johnieb, I don't believe that you got it right yet. What are you smoking?
ReplyDeleteI confess I enjoyed them all. Not sure what my penance should be.
ReplyDeleteIt's heartening to learn that busted or non-functioning balls can be replaced! If it works for mice, well... I mean, these new treatments and procedures are usually tested on animals first, right? And it sounds as though the techniques and protocols are thoroughly worked out for that species, so surely human ball replacement (whether by the screw-in or the pop-in method) cannot be very far down the pike. We can only hope it will come in time to save the Anglican Communion.
But what do I know, I have no balls. Which I guess everybody knows by now. I just use the touchpad on my Toshiba laptop and avoid the mouse altogether.
What fun! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSister Mary Clara! What's next? A book contract for Notes From a Naughty Nun?
ReplyDeleteThanks to SR, Jan.
OK, how about a Jewish Chinese joke.
ReplyDelete----
Scene: old time NY deli. Two long time customers come in, are greeted by a Chinese waiter in Yiddish. In fact, they discover, he speaks perfect Yiddish as he takes their order, brings it to their table, and gives them the bill. Impressed they leave a slightly larger than normal tipe--say, a nickel. (They don't leave a nickel because they're miserly. They leave a nickel because this is a very very old joke.) The owner of the deli is at the register when they go to pay for their sandwiches.
Moe, the customer: Where did you get that Chinese guy? He's wonderful! A miracle! How can he speak such good Yiddish!
Izzy, the owner: Shh! He thinks we're teaching him English!
BTW, what about those of us who use optical mice? Are we just voyeurs?
"They leave a nickel because this is a very very old joke." Not often that you see a joke with the catch-line in mid-narrative.
ReplyDeleteKishnevi, funny joke, but definitely not PC. What have I started here? The PC police will be around any minute.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what about those of us who use optical mice? Are we just voyeurs?
Yes.
Lapin, ONE of the catch-lines. The last one is pretty funny, too.
I've got to put up another post.
I love all the naughtiness. When the Mad One's away, the mice all seem to play, whether they have all the equipment or not.
ReplyDeleteMimi, LOL. "Notes from a Naughty Not-a-Nun", perhaps!
ReplyDeleteLove the deli joke, Kishnevi, both punchlines. We'll all be craving Chinese or kosher deli food today.
Yes, Paul, and the minute MadPriest returns we shall all revert to our usual sober, high-toned moral and scholarly mode.
The Mad One is back, so now it is time to "revert to our usual sober, high-toned moral and scholarly mode".
