And which in many cases can cause wincing and eye rolls. A sure indication of a good pun. Also, the recipients are unwilling to admit when a pun is good, neither. Haha.

I always wanted to open my own pastry shop..... but I could never raise the dough!
I am a part owner of one... Was able to contribute enough bread to finalize the investment which turned out to be the icing on the cake. Stop by any time. It's just yeast of the flour shop.
Made a killing on donut holes, as I convinced the customers, the holes have no calories.
I might try to roll by and give you some business. It’s the yeast I could do. All I knead is the address. Piece of cake. Easy as pie.
If I don’t make it, that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

I kneaded that kind of humor, or, humour if you please
Mrs Anderson, grandmotherly woman was teaching the kindergarten class in Sunday School about Noah and the Ark. She told them how only 8 people were on the Ark, and no one else survived the great flood.
Little Johnny stared at her with a very perplexed look on his face. The teacher called on him and asked if there was a question, since he had such a concerned look on his face.
Yes, he said. I do have a question. “ Mrs Anderson?”
Yes? she said.
Hesitatingly he said, “How ever did you survive, then?”
I hope you all don’t mind me sharing another one I just finished today? This one of a farm, early morning, in Oldwick, NJ. About 25 minutes from me
Kia Motors and Apple are going to embark on a joint venture where car buyers can assemble their own vehicles and enjoy tremendous savings in the process.
They'll most likely call it iKia, or IKEA, not sure what the spelling will be.

can anyone tell me what i did wrong uploading pictures? new here and not sure why they are not showing.
With my iPad, I use the very far right icon with the arrow pointing up, go to my photo library and click the one I want to use. You do, however, need to make the file small enough. Larger files will not work. I have an app I use to change the size of the files very easily. It is called Resizer
@grune said in Hello! Welcome to TB, who are you?:
@BigDub - incorrect. The breeds were named after the province, not vice versa.
Did I say otherwise? If I implied otherwise it wasn’t intended.
It would be pretty dumb to think a country would name a province or state after a dog breed, just saying.

Washington DC is trying to be 51.
Oh, so sorry.
Number one, Washington is already taken.
Number two, Area 51 too.

I forgot that 49 States are in agreement on one thing: all 49 hate New Jersey.Did I miss something in the text? There are 50 States.
49 + New Jersey = 50!
@administrator said in Hello! Welcome to TB, who are you?:
I still think we need a state named after a dog, like Mexico's Chihuahua.
Imagine, the state of Mastiff...
Don’t forget Canada, though they don’t exactly have states, have Newfoundland and Labrador.

Isn’t it great that we have 50 entirely different states, none of which represents the country in and of themselves?
Wasn't it 57 states in the previous administration?
I don’t know about that, but I forgot that 49 States are in agreement on one thing: all 49 hate New Jersey. 
Here is a new one. A big thank you to Ivan Hunter for use of the photograph of Pumpkin Island Lighthouse, Brooklyn, Maine. It may look familiar because I did an earlier one of the opposite side. It’s a very small island amongst many in that area.
What state would you say DOES represent the whole country, Newell Post?

Someone stole the wheels from a patrol car. Police are pursuing the perpetrator tirelessly.
Vandals made hole in nudist colony fence. Police are looking into it.
Unknown suspect broke into the police precinct headquarters and stole all the toilets. Investigators have nothing to go on.
Thieves broke into the Mexican Phone Company and stole an undisclosed amount of equipment, Taco Bell reports.

Pre-Trumpet but warming up for the event on the Hammond B3 at my first club gig. Played once a month at the Golden Rooster, Anderson Twp, Cincinnati OH. That is Ronnie Dale in the background. He was the original organist for the Cincinnati Reds.
I think my first trumpet might indeed have been better than that trumpet there on top of the organ
Maybe so, but at one point I had a dancer sitting on my organ.
No comment.

That trumpet in the photo.....no finger hole, no bracing, absolutely no engraved brand anywhere to be found on the Horn. Surprising I was even enthusiastic enough to continue playing since it was so difficult to get any decent sound. Of course the player didn’t help much. It was a bit of a joint effort in that sense. That Horn wouldn’t even be lamp worthy, I don’t think.
@GeorgeB said in I really should be a better player.:
I did a lot of things with the trumpet that I can't do today when I played some 50 years ago between '53 and '65. So I should be a better player, too, but I am not. Age has a way of changing things.
I do think I am a smarter player today, and a bit more knowledgeable in the music theory thing, but you'd have to call 911 if I tried playing a 3 hour wedding gig these days.
Poor quality, but this is me with my 5 piece combo playing a teen dance in the early 50s.
I like it. But George, A slight correction. Brace yourself. Some fifty years ago was......are you ready? 1970....
Here I am at probably 11 or 12, in my room with Frank Gifford of the NY Giants artwork on the wall. Playing my heart out.
And I am not a comeback player. I never totally stopped playing. This is 56 years ago, give or take......
I really should be so much better....
