My grandma is really gullible.
Yesterday, I was on the phone with her. My grandpa was sick, and she was food shopping. So I made a suggestion.
"Get him a kumquat. There isn't a man in the world who doesn't enjoy getting a nice, big kumquat. Getting a man a kumquat makes his life complete."
I expected her to start laughing, but she then did something even funnier.
She said (seriously) that she was about to start looking for a kumquat.
My Grandfather's gonna be pretty confused.

False Advertising 2
Yesterday, there was a party I went to. It was called the 8th grade soiree. It's theme: Mardi Gras.
It had the beads, the colors, but there was one rule (just like in False Advertising 1 with the cell phones) they enforce you couldn't have: Masks.
Masks are a pretty main thing on Mardi Gras, so this caused a lot of controversy. People wanted masks, and they kept on asking why, but the school (for a reason I can only guess) said you can't have them.
So when I walked into the room, I was surprised to see, hanging in silver from the balloons, masks.
But that wasn't all.
Right as you walked in, enormous on the left wall, was the most prominent decoration.
I leave it to you to guess what it was.

Cinco De Mayo Joke
My shop teacher told me this one:
In Mexico, there was a time when people really loved mayonnaise. They ate so much, they ran out of it!
They soon ordered some more to come in by ship. The people were elated. But some had a bad feeling. The ship was titled the Titanic.
As we all know, the Titanic sank. The Mexicans were so sad they created a holiday to mourn the loss.
It's name: Sink-o de Mayo.
(Play on Cinco de Mayo, it's Sink of the Mayonnaise.)

A Praise To All The Sites I Deem Cool
I can't think of a post today, and I don't want to be cheap (again) and do a picture of a post. So, I thought I'd tell all my readers some good sites to go to.

Grammars Police! (A.K.A. Pwned 2)
Someone in our family is the grammar police. He corrects us every time we use bad grammar.
One thing he taught us is, contrary to popular belief, you say I feel GOOD, not I feel well. Well has to do with an active thing. So the other day, I tricked him.
We were eating dinner when I said, "I feel well today."
He said his usual thing. "NO! You feel GOOD!"
But I had my retort ready to go.
"No, I mean my hands aren't numb today. I can actually feel! It's like the sense is much more acute then it was before..."

Bad Pun Contest! Possible Money Prize!
I am now holding contests. I hope this doesn't end up like riddle corner.
Anyway, here's the contest:
Whoever can give me the worst pun I've never heard of by the 16th gets they're name on the blog AND if I know you, you also get a 25 cent prize!
Rules:
I must have your name
You can only enter 3 times
Now... Let the contest BEGIN!
(This contest, unlike riddle corner, needs to be a real, qualified answer to win. I will not count puns I have heard, but after 3 puns I haven't, I will not look at any more of your answers.)

FTM: Pretzel's Vacation P6: Life In a Comic Strip
Ah, A new month. I like to start of a month with good ol' Foobini. The new idea I used in this one was I: a. Added a space in the bottom for speech bubbles and b. Made the trash can go across all the panels. Aside from that, this is a joke on comic strips. One minute they're in the trash, the next they're out, and the next (next strip) they're home talking about how peanuts have feeling. It's crazy. Anyway, as I said, in over a week I will post another 3 days of Foobini with Pretzel's Vacation P7: I'm Home! And I brought you a peanut! and then FTM: Panel line parts 1 and 2. Enjoy the strip!
