“Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.”
William Shakespeare
I just realized that November is almost over and I had not reviewed the themes for the month and what I should have been doing. Just in case you missed it too, here are some of the highlights:
November Monthly Observations
- Adopt A Senior Pet Month – I am a senior and I have yet to have anyone ask me to be their pet.
- Banana Pudding Lovers Month – I wonder if they have a convention and where it might be.
- Family Stories Month – Did I ever tell the one about…..
- Historic Bridge Awareness Month – OK where are you?
- National COPD Month _ I wish I only had it in November.
- National Family Caregivers Month – Thanks kids for doing so much
- National Fun with Fondue Month – Ask a Fondue to dance
- National Gratitude Month – I think I will make 2019 my gratitude year
- National Pepper Month – Bell or ground?
- National Roasting Month – OK turn up the damn heat already!
- Prematurity Awareness Month – If this is for the immature, I may qualify.
I think I will start observances sooner next November.

A customer wanted to ask his attractive waitress for a date, but couldn’t get her attention. When he was able to catch her eye, she quickly looked away. Finally he followed her into the kitchen and blurted out his invitation. To his amazement, she readily consented.
He said, “Why have you been avoiding me all this time? You wouldn’t even make eye contact.”
“Oh,” said the waitress, “I thought you wanted more coffee.”

A man goes to consult a specialist about his medical problem. After the visit the man asks, “How much do I owe you?”
“My fee is five hundred dollars,” replies the physician.
“Five hundred dollars? That’s impossible. No one charges that much!”
“In your case,” the doctor replies, “I suppose I could adjust my fee to three hundred.”
“Three hundred dollars? For one visit? Ridiculous.”
“Well, then, could you afford two hundred?”
“Who has that kind of money?”
“Look, replies the doctor,” growing irritated, “Just give me fifty bucks and get out.”
“I can give you twenty says the man. Take it or leave it.”
“I don’t understand you,” says the doctor. “Why did you come to the most expensive doctor in New York if you have no money?”
“Listen, Doctor”, says the patient, “When it comes to my health, nothing is too expensive.”

After talking to her about speeding, the officer said, “I see you are wearing your seat belt. Do you believe in wearing it at all times?”
“Yes, I do, officer,” she replied.
“Well,” asked the officer, “do you always do it up with it looped through your steering wheel?”
