Once again we seem to be having a horrible news week. From the Parsons Green tube bombing, to the devastation from Hurricane Maria, and Mexico’s second earthquake in two weeks, which has killed hundreds of people including children. There’s Mr. Trump’s threat in front of the General Assembly of the UN to completely destroy North Korea. And finally, the continued ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyas a group of minority Muslims, by the government of Myanmar. To say that I’m saddened, angry and frustrated is an understatement and as always, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who’s been affected.
I thought we could all use a bit of a break, so I hope the following give you a respite and maybe even a laugh or two.

You think it’s a joke? When I worked in a science bookstore many, many years ago, We actually did have a customer come in and say, “I want a book. It’s pink.”
The miracle was that my pal Beryl, who was the one who fielded the request, was able to send her away with the right book.

You brought a smile to a guy’s weary face thank you 🙂 Incidentally all the books stood around an open fire lamenting pages that have been ripped out is SO VERY VERY TRUE! I truly feel for them, history is littered by crap movies which have ‘blanked’ wonderful classic stories, lol a post idea for you. (Never seen that cartoon before)

🤣 I loved every single one of these … thanks a million for the much-needed break from the rabbit hole! I especially related to the one where the girl bought the stack of books and the boy wanted her to take them back, saying they had no room. 🤣🤣🤣 My bedroom is wall-to-wall stacks of books, despite already having 3 full bookshelves. And there are at least 10 books on the empty side of my bed! Thanks again for the smiles and chuckles!
