On Satire Bits: Vol. 106

Happy Hump Day to all. How’s your week going so far?

Since returning from the weekend trip, I’ve returned to my water superintendent duties for our building … which means I move hoses and sprinklers for several hours as our we and another couple in our building are assisting the builder so we can get a green grass environment … Plus, I’m trying to catch up on my blogging from the missed weekend.

Just returned from the golf course, and I was happy with my overall play tonight. Rest of the week has a variety of events scheduled, along with more watering. Then again, maybe mother nature will help out with some natural rain.

Because I haven’t given an eye update in some time, the issue still exists … but all is stable. I don’t see the retina specialist for another 5 weeks, so unless something drastic happens between now and then, it’s wait and see.

Moving on to your midweek dose of satire, as usual, the satirical headlines below are courtesy of The Onion. I’m always curious to discover when you have a favorite. For those ready to accept the extra challenge, create your own “combo” headline by using only the words in the headlines below. My Combo is at the end. Have a good rest of the week!

  2. I can imagine the animal rights movement having a filed day with this one: “Meat prices skyrocket after cow smashing machine gets all beefed up”. Cow smashing machine! Definitely a no-no.

  4. Look, if I end up like that elderly guy waiting to go senile, I want you to say something to me first.

    I knew I should have gone to work for the NSA. Cause then no one would be watching my internet activity.

  5. Love the Onion headline: Elderly man can’t wait for senility to erase lifetime of regretful memories. For some reason that hit my funny bone. Glad to hear eye is stabilizing. It is a terrible thing to get old. Hope you do it better than I am doing it. Cheers!
