George Goes Fishing: Funny Friday

Today’s post is this month’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. George (a northerner visiting his cousin): I don't see the jetty, is it invisible?
Billy Bob (a local): You're in the south now, see that log? That IS the jetty.

2. George: That doesn't really look clean, and there's so much debris, is it really a problem, people swimming here?
Billy Bob: Oh cousin, on some of the hotter days we swim in puddles.

3. George: What are we fishing for? Fire wood?

4. George: That's not the correct way to write a letter, you have to address someone.
Billy Bob: Huh?
George: Like instead of saying:

No Swimming
From Fishing Jetty

it should say: 

Dear Aunt Mabel,
No swimming.
From, 
Fishing Jetty 

Billy Bob: That's what I get for inviting an English professor to come visit.


5. George's wife (when George returned from fishing): How'd you do? We having fish for dinner?
George: Lets just say I caught some invisible fish from an invisible jetty.


And now for something yummy (not fish, since none were caught):

    1. I love adding quick oats to recipes for the texture but also because it's so healthy.

  2. Love number four! I didn't get the whole "from Fishing Jetty" until my Christian used a similar line. That bread is absolutely getting made at my house. I bet it smells incredible! <3

  3. Oats and apple is a wonderful combination. I would have said "oh, not until fall" but first, my son is supposed to come over and drop off some apples he got from somewhere, and second, it is supposed to dip into the 40's at night this weekend. We'll see if he ever comes with the apples and go from there. Pinned in the meantime. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    1. Hope you do get the apples and don't get that cold weather.

  4. These are all so good, Karen! My personal favourite? 3. I can't imagine anything else living there--except maybe frogs!
    Oh, those English Professors... Let's Eat Grampa!

    1. It was a really great picture to work worth, this month's Funny Friday almost wrote itself.

  5. When the chips (and my car) are down, i'll take Billy Bob's smarts over the English professor any day. How much you wanna bet Billy Bob has jumper cables (possibly holding parts of the truck together).

  6. Apple oatmeal bread sounds fantastic. I've been guilty of getting banana bread from time to time and it's such comfort.

    1. I'm a banana bread fan too, I need to work on a lower fat and sugar version of that too.
