DEFINITIONS (3)

 

 

HOSPITALITY

Provided for those for whom it is said

have need for neither  food nor bed.

 

LOVE

A disorder secured

by marriage soon cured.

 

INTERVIEW

Go in as a pig

come out as a sausage

 

 

HANDS

The laying on of hands

performed by believers

the laying on of hands

by thieves and deceivers.

 

 

THE STOCKS

A punishing device for inflicting the vapours

a prototype for modern newspapers

  • Nicholas Browning

    All of these are both true and interesting. Something so simple can rattle the brain greatly. I guess many of these come with insight gained through time and experience; both of which I lack.
    A wonderful read and a good bit of knowledge. Thanks for posting Michael!

    • Michael Edwards

      But also a bit of tongue in cheek - thanks Nicholas - you are very kind.

    • Goldfinch60

      Good ones once more and the HOSPITALITY one is so very meaningful.

      Does heaven not accept mermen, I though all were welcome - good cartoon Michael.

      • Michael Edwards

        We have a wide circle of friends and entertain each other on a regular basis - only yesterday we were having Sunday lunch with friends at their house in a lovely village nearby. Makes me realise just how privileged we all are.

        Is there any water in heaven? If not where do all the fish go?

        Oh lol fine writes and pic Michael. Is Miss Berles into the 'laying on of hands' ministry? Can she 'lay hands' on some gin for us?!

        • Michael Edwards

          Ah a good gin - one that's decidedly Sippa Berles.

        • Fay Slimm.

          Hoe can you keep producing such common-sense wry wisdom wrapped in short-line humour like this - - - another fun read and good chuckle at that witty sketch.

          • Michael Edwards

            I think they are tongue in both cheeks - errr not at the same time of course. Thanks Fay. j

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            THANKS UNCLE MIKE : ANGELA HERE (8:30 AM Tuesday) I got a rather fishy inference from the cartoon ! It suggested His end would be in HELL ! Battered and then fried in HOT FAT !

            1. Strange definition ! If they were in Hospital
            They would need food : bed & TLC !
            2. Love leads to Marriage : Mariage to anywhere
            3. Sounds like the factory floor : Individual to Operative
            4. Divine Healing : Satanic Stealing
            5. Why bother to wear a Hair Shirt : when

            You can just read the Daily Mail each morning !
            Thanks for sharing : a morning smile !
            Blessing and Jokes : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

            • Michael Edwards

              Ah bless Angela - I think hospitality is more to do with entertaining rather than health care. Well yer gotta laff ent yer!
