(Recommended, particularly if you need an occasional source of jokes for mixed/polite company.) Enjoy. Bakers work hard – they knead the dough. How various occupations […]

Yer Friday Funny:  The Iowahawk Zarkman Chronicles

NHSparky and I have each posted some of the links below in comments here at TAH.  However, I’ve not seen all of them linked here previously – and some of them seem to predate TAH entirely. In the links below are IMO some of the funniest articles you’ll read anywhere.  They also seemed to me […]

What a Long, Strange Trip It Was

Regular readers know that Jonn tolerates an occasional off-topic “walkabout” from me at TAH.  Yeah, you’re right; what follows below is another such ramble. Consider yourself forewarned.  (smile) . . .
