Funny Bone Monday, with a Contest!

Welcome to Funny Bone Monday, the Family Edition! In honor of today's topic, I'll be giving away a family bumper sticker just like the one on my new-ish van. That's right! You have to do more than laugh today - you have to leave a comment! I have an extra Glornak the Destroyer sticker that needs a good home! Dave Kellet draws the hilarious strip, Sheldon, and the sticker is his creation. See it?

Except your new sticker is white on clear, perfect for a darkened rear window. Contest closes at midnight Friday, whatever midnight is for you.

We also have a winner of the book Defying Autism, and the random number generator chose five, or Debbie, at Gittin' It Outta My Head! Congrats, Debbie! Email me your address and it will be on it's way!

So. On to family humor. If it hits too close to home? Do what I did - seek therapy.

A classic

If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it will always be yours.
If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with.

But, if it just sits in your living room,
messes up your stuff, eats your food,
uses your telephone, takes your money
and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free...

...You either married it or gave birth to it.

Top 10 Signs That Your New Baby Is A Pirate

10) When moms water broke, the baby yelled, I sail with the tide! 9) When the doctor slapped your baby's bottom, the baby slapped the doctor back and then grabbed the doctors head with the forceps. 8) In the hospital nursery, your baby stole blankets and pacifiers from the other infants and then denied it. 7) Other babies ankle bands say Baby Girl or Baby Boy. Your child's says Baby Pirate. 6) When the hospital photographer took a picture of your baby, your baby asked if it was for the wanted posters. 5) You found your baby in the hospital cafeteria telling stories about his most recent voyage. 4) Your physician asked, Do hooks run in the family? 3) Your baby doesn't have any teeth -- just like most adult pirates. 2) During labor, your spouse shouted things you thought only came out of the mouths of pirates. 1) By the time your baby left the hospital, the doctors and nurses were calling him Captain.

He put a worm in a glass of water & another in a glass of whiskey.

"Well dad, it shows that if you drink alcohol you will not have worms."

Fred is 32 years old and he is still single.
One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?"
Fred replied, "Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them."
His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I've got the perfect solution, just find a blonde who's just like your mother."
A few months later they meet again and his friend says, "Did you find the perfect blonde? Did your mother like her?"
With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect blonde. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much."
The friend said, "Then what's the problem?"
Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her."

A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?"
The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and so was all mankind made.."
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question.. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved."
The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?"
The mother answered, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."

Husband: everytime I hit you, you never fight back. how do you manage your anger?

"My mother died in June," he said, "and left me $10,000."
"Gee, that's tough," he replied.
"Then in July," the friend continued, "My father died leaving me $50,000."
"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."
"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad."
"Then this month," continued, the friend, "nothing!"

Boy asks his Gran nervously, 'have you seen my pills ... they were labeled LSD ?'
Gran replies 'The heck with your pills ! Have you seen the dragon in the kitchen ?!'

A wife woke up in the middle of the night to find her husband missing from bed. She got out of bed and checked around the house, and heard sobbing from the basement.
After turning on the light and descending the stairs, she found her husband curled up into a little ball, sobbing.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she asked, worried about what could hurt him so much.
"Remember, 20 years ago, I got you pregnant? And your father threatened me to marry you or to go to jail?"
"Yes, of course," she replied.
"Well, I would have been released tonight."

At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?"

The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or you're out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?"

Again the little boy nodded.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain it to your mother."

8. If a girl accidentally burps, she will be embarrassed. If a boy accidentally burps, he will follow it with a dozen fake belches.

9. Boys grow their fingernails long because because they're too lazy to cut them. Girls grow their fingernails long - not because they look nice - but because they can dig them into a boys arm.
