Joke
We could use one. Saw this on Facebook.
A man walks into a bar.
Sitting on the bar is this old antique looking oil lamp.
What's this? the man queries to the barkeep.
"I dunno", answered the barman. "I guess the last person sitting there must have left it."
The man turns to the lamp, looking at it, and noticed a couple of spots on it. He picks it up and tries to polish the spots off with his shirt sleeve and then poof...
A cloud of smoke emits from the lamp then a genie appears.
Like all genies his opening line is, "I will grant you three wishes."
After recovering from his surprise, he thinks for a few minutes, then says, "Turn Greg Abbott into a woman, 8-months pregnant, confined to a small house with no AC or electricity and not a working refrigerator because the Texas power grid is failing in 104-degree heat."
The genie turned to the man with a wry smile and says, "This one is on me."

In order to fit it into the format I use, I had to do this - everyone feel free to use.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
