Subject line pretty much covers it. I know give them an inch and they want a mile.
I can switch the Friday jokes to Wednesday jokes if you want. Makes no never mind to me. :)
I am a little hesitant to do both days because a few members do not like the joke posts at all. Some feel this is an upholstery site and should not have anything posted here except for upholstery related discussions.
I felt I was pushing it by posting my Friday funnies. It's up to ya'll. I just want to stay out of trouble here. :)
Let me know what everyone wants to do and I will do it.
Myself, I think life should be lived with humor. Everyone can use a smile everyday.

Miserable few, they don't have to read them !
I am with you Chris, I need as much as possible to smile at ;)
You could do a pole on who does & who doesn't. Like a laugh. ;D

"Some feel this is an upholstery site and should not have anything posted here except for upholstery related discussions." LOL Now that's funny.
I would think it takes less energy to not read something that you don't want to read, than to complain about it.
How about posting Friday Funnies on Sunday? Most people do not work Sundays. This might be more palatable for those who can't stomach Friday Funnies on Friday. Now, the folks who are on the other side of the international date line might still has a cause for complaining.

I love the Friday Funnies whatever day they are posted. As I tell my daughter, "life is too short to be so serious, enjoy it as it comes!"

The fact that we constantly stray off topic is what I like about this forum.
If you ONLY want "serious" upholstery talk, you don't HAVE to click on the thread titled "Mojo's Friday Funnies".
Being a furniture guy, I don't even bother to click on any thread that has the word "Bimini" in the title.
Those who only want upholstery chat might prefer Carr's Corner.

I will do whatever Ken, the boss of this site wants. It is his forum so I have to abide by his rules. :)
So what is your opinion Ken ?
Thanks,
Chris
I'm sorry it wasn't my intent to cause such a stir but rather to let Chris know how much I appreciated the the diversion of the funnies, as health issues in my family can bring one down.

Ahhhh nope.......LOL.........
I didn't realize that we had a couple who didn't like personal things or jokes posted on here until I read his post once. I got the message loud and clear but since I am a non-conformist I kept posting the jokes anyways. :)
I am thinking Greg he was a sewing machine dealer in another life. You know how anal those guys are. :P

This whole topic leaves ONE burning question:
Grebo, where'd you get those "smiley's"?

Arr sorry about that (https://forum.upholster.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi63.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh158%2Fgrebo2%2Femocions%2F1066.gif&hash=9f0a9faeecccd53495c9ba62ac332430)
I have a small collection in my photobucket account.
If I see one I like I steal it (https://forum.upholster.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi63.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh158%2Fgrebo2%2Femocions%2Fwhip.gif&hash=8764126afb2f0ad19c81b784ec8c5998) & save it for later.

I think there should be a daily funny Chris! :P
I agree with Clay. Life's too short and laughter makes all (or most) of us feel better! ;D
Keep the funnies coming Chris. Any day of the week!
And for those who don't like them, don't read them!
Chris keep em coming I don't post often but I read this forum every single day and I personally look forward to Friday funnies whatever day of the week they are. No matter where you go there will always be bashers and naysayers. Like others have said, "You don't like em, don't click on em". We need jocularity in our daily lives.
Rene
Hey! Smiley faces have nothing to do with upholstery. Let's keep the topics on upholstery related topics.

PS In case you are as thick as HR 50 foam, THIS IS A JOKE!

That would explain why people keep stamping "HR-50" on my forehead! :D
Now who wouldn't like a good joke?
Ya git to stay off once In a while tomorows
Friday ;)
Hey Guys it's Friday here wake up !
jocularity ? Is that a word ::)
Ummm, Yesss it is. Have you never heard of a jocular individual? By Websters dictionary; making of jokes,joyful, blythe,etc. I just think its a neat sounding word. And a GOOD morning to you to Sir.
Rene
;D
Well it's a lazy afternoon now Fridays here and time to relax a bit have to install a centerconsole enclosure I. The morning then price a toon upholstery
I whole heatedly commend Chris for taking the initiative and dedicating the time to run this thread. Thank you Bro. I too maintain a presence here because of the informality and the friendships. And we all need to pull our heads out of our .... back pockets ... and realize that life is short and we need to enjoy the few trips around the sun we are granted. Humour and joy are an integral part of that.
I cannot believe that anyone still here could be so vain as to complain about us enjoying life as well as wisdom. :o , maybe we could ask the administrators about moving this thread up below the green room at the top of the page. We could even consider adding "keeping you in stitches" where everyone could share some jocularity at any time during the week.
Just my 2.003 ¢
"We could even consider adding "keeping you in stitches" where everyone could share some jocularity at any time during the week."
I'm sorry but I don't know how to do a proper quote but the above was taken from Darren's post, and I think this is an excellent idea.

Or private members club, keep the 'heck' out if you don't want a laugh. :P

You see how nicely our new word fits. It just adds pizzazz to the page.LOL. Hey Darren are you still in Kenora?? Rene
I don't know about you guys, but I kinda like having the bulk of the talk in "General Discussion". With a lot of extra boards, everything gets too spread out. Unless someone has actually complained to Ken, or Bobby, I wouldn't worry about it. But, if you guys convince Ken, or Bobby to add a board, that's cool too.
Whoever doesn't like the "Friday Funnies" can just take a LONG walk off a SHORT pier (I'll bet they were REALLY irate over our discussion of the "Naug" ;)).
Sofadoc:
I will have to agree it would be more convenient to have everything under one general heading, but whatever it takes.
Oops:
I forgot I started the "Naug" discussion too, boy what a trouble maker I am!
Big John
It appears that you can also just type the
QuoteQuoteand get the same result. Note my messed up message.
Rene, No. I finally found a place that'll let Buddy in ( I have to smoke outside} and rented the house in Kenora so I'm on the other side of you now as a registered Brandon citizen.I started working for Len's RV here in May,found an apartment in Nov and rented the house last month.When I get too feeble to sew , this summer will fill a couple of chapters in my book LOL.
Wow! I'm sorry I missed the beginning of this! I love the jokes - they brighten my day! If you can't laugh, you will just cry. The heading is titled "Friday (or Wednesday or whatever) Funnies", so if some don't appreciate them, they don't have to read them.
BTW, Carr's Corner has a topic title called "Lifting your Spirits" for jokes and affirmations. We are not depressingly serious over there, either! ;D
Jan (one of the OLD old-timers here!)
Glad to see so much support for the posting of funnies, and thank you Chris for adding an extra posting this week!
