First, I apologize for not sharing my updated Independence Day posting with earlier. I had intended to post prior to July 4th but a few health issues intervened. On the basis that humor is always welcome even on “better-late-than-never” timing we offer these belated comments for your enjoyment.
- ITS’ THE FOURTH OF JULY OR AS I CALL IT “EXPLODING CHRISTMAS”. (Stephen Colbert)
- HAPPY 4th OF JULY!! I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS TIME TO CELEBRATE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT BEING AN AMERICAN–3 DAY WEEKENDS. (Ellen DeGeneres)
- THANK GOODNESS OUR FOREFATHERS DECIDED TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE DAY ON THE 4th OF JULY. OTHERWISE WE WOULDN’T HAVE A HOLIDAY ALL SUMMER. (Melanie White)
- I LOVE THAT MOMENT IN DAVID MCCULLOUGH’S BOOK WHEN JEFFERSON SAYS TO ADAMS: “LET’S GET A 6 PACK AND BLOW SOME STUFF UP”. (Jeff Tamblyn)
- WHY DID PAUL REVERE RIDE HIS HORSE FROM BOSTON TO LEXINGTON? BECAUSE THE HORSE WAS TOO BIG TO CARRY. (anonymous)
- IN ARKANSAS HILL COUNTRY, THE 4th OF JULY IS CELEBRATED ANNUALLY ON THE 2nd IN DEFERENCE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT COUNT BEYOND 2. (anonymous) (apologies to all native Arkansans)
- A JEWISH RABBI AND A PRIEST (OLD FRIENDS) MET AT A JULY 4TH PICNIC. THE PRIEST TEASED THE RABBI ABOUT NOT EATING HAM–KNOWING THAT EATING HAM WAS NOT PERMITTED BY THE JEWISH FAITH. AFTER MERCILESSLY CHIDING THE RABBI ALL AFTERNOON, THE PRIEST FINALLY ASKED “WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND EAT SOME HAM?” THE RABBI REPLIED WITH A GRIN “AT YOUR WEDDING!!”
