Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

This kinda' reminds me of all the ruckus a few nights ago--Don't know what went wrong, but I thought it was one of the greatest examples of true friendship and teamwork I had ever seen...

Reading the posts here always brightens my day, gives me plenty of laughs and amazes me that so many of us in so many different areas have so much in common....No matter where I might be, logging on to the Funny Farm makes me feel at home.Big Grin

Thanks to all you folks who have given me tips, helped with avatars, filled my mailbox with freebies, and made me feel welcome......And if I ever get punk'd here on FF---I would be honored to call each of you 'My Friends'..worshipworship


An old man, a boy & a donkey

were going to town.

The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked.


As they went along they passed some people


who remarked "What a shame the old man
is walking and the boy is riding."

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later they passed some people who

remarked "What a shame.... he makes that little boy walk."

So they then decided they'd both walk!


Soon they passed some more people

who remarked "They're really stupid to walk when they have a decent donkey to ride."


So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people


who shamed them by saying "How awful to
put such a load on a poor donkey."

The boy and man figured they were probably right,
so they decide to carry the donkey.


As they crossed the bridge,

they lost their grip on the animal
and he fell into the river and drowned.



The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone,

you might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye!



Have A Nice Day
Well said Freddie Smilie

Something told me to check the freebie site before I sacked out. Free Dove ice cream bar coupon if you upload a picture. I'll show you mine but get on the site as soon as you can. You can look at the picture afterwards.

Which is it, SS? Pomegranates or the bridge? Because what I hear is that you'll poop green and you can't be living under a bridge and pooping green. People will stare. I'm just sayin'....
Are you laughing at Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum? She's adorable! Shame on you! Did I laugh at Gary's opossum (yet)? Did I laugh at the BU ... uh, never mind ....

I have heard nothing at all--Agree with you 100%---At least an e-mail telling me they were only joking would be better than no communication at all---Like you, I'm kinda' bummed they just left us hanging this long...Wish we knew how to contact the contest firm..Frown

Okay, people, I know it's only 9 PM PDST, but I'm wiped and whipped. I'm going to bed. Talk to you all tomorrow (something for you to look forward to, I'm sure). Until then, pleasant dreams of prizes to be won and freebies to be snagged. And, in a valiant attempt to fulfill my pledge, let me leave you with the following:

I sent an email about a month ago but never heard back from them. I'll try to hunt up their contact information and either send them another one or if I can call them I might get more done. Thats almost worse than holding a contest where no one wins
