Funny Finds for Friday–1st graders

I have seen this floating around email land before but it always cracks me up.  So here is to a great weekend!!

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you.. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1.

Don’t change horses

until they stop running.

2.

Strike while the

bug is close.

3.

It’s always darkest before

Daylight Saving Time.

4.

Never underestimate the power of

termites.

5.

You can lead a horse to water but

how?

6.

Don’t bite the hand that

looks dirty.

7.

No news is

impossible.

8.

A miss is as good as a

Mr.

9.

You can’t teach an old dog new

math.

10.

If you lie down with dogs, you’ll

stink in the morning.

11.

Love all, trust

me.

12.

The pen is mightier than the

pigs.

13.

An idle mind is

the best way to relax

14.

Where there’s smoke there’s

pollution.

15.

Happy the bride who

gets all the presents.

16.

A penny saved is

not much.

17.

Two’s company, three’s

the Musketeers.

18.

Don’t put off till tomorrow what

you put on to go to bed.

19.

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and

you have to blow your nose.

20.

There are none so blind as

Stevie Wonder.

21.

Children should be seen and not

spanked or grounded.

22.

If at first you don’t succeed

get new batteries.

23.

You get out of something only what you

see in the picture on the box.

24.

When the blind lead the blind

get out of the way.

25.

A bird in the hand

is going to poop on you.

And the WINNER and last one!

26.

Better late than

pregnant.

Funny Finds for Friday

Hello all.  I recently added some great funny blogs to my reading list.  As I’m reading through it always makes my day to come across them.  Laughter can be so uplifting.  So I decided to do a roundup of some funny things to start your weekend off on a funny note.  I hope you enjoy:

Sesame Street: There’s an app for that.  How funny is that?  Sesame street singing about apps. “Joy” was watching Elmo when this song came on and I had to go find it on You Tube for you guys.  

Dear Blank Please Blank is a funny blog with great quick posts that are hilarious.  They are all in a short letter format.  Here are a few:

 

Dear marker companies,

When you said they were washable, what did you use to wash it? ACID?!

Sincerely, babysitter who went to the bathroom for ONE MINUTE!

 

Dear sneaky pop-under ad,

I spent five minutes figuring out where all that extra noise was coming from.

Sincerely, well-played, advertisement, well-played

 

Dear Angry Birds,

You can never replace me.

Sincerely, Tetris

 

Cake Wreks: When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.  Nuf Said.

When it comes to powerfully good cake, the choice is (nu)clear:

And here’s some fuel for thought: this wasn’t a special order. It was just out in the display case, on the off chance someone was having a nuclear power plant themed occasion worth celebrating.
