One of the misconceptions about being a Christian is non-Christians think we don’t know how to have fun or have a sense of humor. Trust me, if the Big Guy can have a sense of humor when it comes to dealing with us mere mortals, so can we.

The difference for Christians is we don’t have to debase ourselves or others to generate a smile. Laughter at life or ourselves is a gift from God.

It’s time for some Midweek Mirth to help us get through this a virus shutdown, so let’s smile a little!

Quarantine Briefs

Overslept this morning. Was late getting to the living room.

I used to spin toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I’m cracking a safe.

Reminder: 9 pm is the time to remove your day pajamas and put your night pajamas on.

I told my wife how thankful I was to have someone I enjoyed being quarantined with. She said, “Must be nice.”

If you get an e-mail that says “Find out what everyone is talking about in 2020” don’t open it — it’s a virus.

If you need 144 rolls of toilet paper for a 14-day quarantine you probably should have been seeing a doctor long before COVID-19.

Diary for Day 2 without sports: “Found a young lady sitting on my couch yesterday. Apparently she’s my wife. She seems nice.”

 And now for the bonus …

The “Q” Diet

“I’m sorry, sir, but we’ve determined you have a highly contagious, deadly virus. You’ll need to be kept in quarantine and fed a diet of pancakes.”

“Oh, no, that’s horrible news, doctor,” the man said. “But will the pancakes really be able to help me get better?”

The doctor looked at him and said, “No, that’s just the only thing we can slide under the door.”

THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around. — Carolyn Birmingham
