October Funny Friday

Today’s post is October’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

1) Man yelling down to worker in a party store: “When I said “fill me a balloon with helium”, I meant fill a balloon FOR me, not fill ME up like a balloon.”

2) Balloon yelling from the sky: “Honey, I don’t think I’ll be home for dinner after all.”
3) Balloon to himself: “I sure as hell hope I’m not in the flight path . . .”.

4)  Balloon yelling to people on the ground: “Call Life Alert. I’m up . . . and I can’t fall down.”

5) Balloon to himself: “I better not be headed towards the Bermuda Triangle.”

Printable Recipe
 
Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 stick margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 TBSP unsweetened baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
 
9 ounces of vanilla bark
Approximately 72 mini M&Ms
 
Directions:
*Cream the butter, margarine and sugars until smooth. Beat in the vanilla, chocolate syrup and eggs. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
*Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into approximately ¾ inch balls and place onto parchment paper. Press each ball down slightly with the heel of your hand.
*Bake approximately 13 - 15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully slide the parchment paper off of the cookie sheet. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
*Melt the vanilla bark in the microwave, checking and stirring frequently, until smooth.
*Place the melted bark into a plastic sandwich bag. Snip one corner and drizzle the white chocolate onto the cookies to resemble a mummy “wrap” (see picture of finished cookie).
*Immediately make “eyes” using 2 mini M&Ms per cookie. Allow to set on the counter about 5 minutes, then move to the fridge until the bark has hardened.

  2. Too bad the balloon man can't make it home for dinner.
    Let's hope he'll be there by dessert time though. With any luck his wife has been baking some yummy mummies!
