There are times when they need expert advice. Seniors don't need anger management. They need people to stop irritating them.

It means peeing before leaving the house.   Meal of the Month:        Funny Quotations of the Month:  “Whoever established the high road and how high it should be should be fired.” — Sandra Bullock  “In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.” — Fran Lebowitz Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring: ‘How to Build a Boat'”. — Steven Wright Faces-in-Odd-Places of the Month:   Pun of the Month:  I went to a dog show the other day. A Yorkie took Best in Show, a Jack Russell took second, and a Scotty took third. I’m starting to think the judges had some sort of All-Terrier motive. Bus of the Month:   Funny Story of the Month:   Passengers flying first class on British Airways’ Boeing 747s have expressed concerns about a redesign that includes windows in some lavatories. One woman traveling to New York voiced her discomfort over the lack of blinds. A stewardess reportedly responded, “Madam, if someone is clinging to the side of this aircraft at 35,000 feet, they’ve earned the view."   Sign of the Month: My I have the letter "Y" please?   ______________________________________   Podcast of the Month:   Oldie but Goodie Audrey Lawrence Interviews Internationally best selling Author and TED speaker Allen Klein https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiKZw_rUmWk&t=252s   ______________________________________   Get the MidMonth Mirth Memo every month:   SUBSCRIBE yourself or a friend to the Free MIRTH MEMO https://tinyurl.com/yb9939v7 ______________________________________   Book of the Month:   Make 2025 an AWESOME Year   The word “awesome” is certainly overused these days.

Like most parents, who are thrilled with the birth of a first child, I would have to say my first book, The Healing Powerof Humor, because of the thrill of getting a book published and the awesome response to it. But there is another of my books which I feel should have received as warm a welcome but did not. That book contained just as much joy, humor and wisdom as the first and, as shown by the comments below, it resonated as much with readers. It therefore deserves a closer look. That book, Secrets Kids Know...that adult oughta learn is, luckily, still in print. Best New Book of 2017, Assn. for Applied and Therapeutic Humor   "How wonderful to be able to learn and laugh at the same time from this must-read book." Dianne. M. "You’ll want to carry this book with you wherever you go, to consult whenever you need a smile...."   -Dorothy W.   "Best read ever! ...Yes...it's a must read."  -Humor Rx   https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Kids-Adults-Oughta-Learn-ebook/dp/B071CJZYYB/ref=sr_1_1?     __________________________________________          follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2024 Allen Klein, All rights reserved.  unsubscribe from this list | update subscription preferences
