COVID-19 Gallows humor
« on: March 29, 2020, 01:45:14 PM »
Had enough listening to doom and gloom?
One of our strengths has always been to find humor in the worst of situations. Bill Mouldin did it during WWII with his famous Willie and Joe characters.
Now its our turn to find humor in the misery and use it for some levity to maintain sanity.

This is not really a joke but... our shop is open due to military and oil supply. We carry a letter stating such with contact numbers and passwords for confirming employment.

My wife works for a Budweiser distributor. They are considered essential also. I asked her if she was given a letter.... she said it is on the side of her van. DOH! She drives a bud van.... she is in sales.

wonder how many people tell their spouse, they're essential employees and must leave when work calls, but haven't had a job in weeks.

"You think were in trouble now, just wait till the Jehovah Witness finds out were all fome"

They arrived at my door and they seemed like nice folks; so I invited them in.

I said, "So what would you folks like to tale about??"

They answered, "We got no idea.... we've never made it this far before."
