Good morning friends! Once again it seems that Monday has rolled around … why does it come so much quicker than Friday and why does Monday last longer than the entire weekend? When I got up yesterday morning, it was a whopping 3° F (–16° C)!!! I’ve come to envy bears who can hibernate in their nice warm caves until spring! Anyway, let’s see if we can dispel some of that cold with some laughs … but first, let’s grab a snack and a nice warm drink!
Let’s start with some animal memes for a few chuckles …
And Jolly found a few funny pictures he wants to share with you …
And now … it’s … ‘TOON TIME!!!
A few memes to add to the humour …
And now … it just wouldn’t be Jolly Monday without a cute or funny critter video, would it? I think you’ll love this parrot!
Well, friends, it’s that time again … time for us to go forth and either be productive or crawl back under the covers and hibernate ’til the thermometer says it’s above freezing out there! I hope you’re leaving with a smile on your face and in your heart! Stay warm and keep safe this week, and please don’t forget to share a smile here ‘n there! Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly, & Joyful!

There were many good ones again, Jill, thank you! And I like the banana dophins, I will try that for breakfast one day.
I love parrots, but as they say in the video, they can get very old, and then they have to change owner again.

I’m glad you enjoyed them, Stella! I laughed and laughed over the banana dolphins! I loved the parrot video, but I also had the same concern … hopefully the woman in the video will live to be 100, or at least have someone ready to give the parrot a new forever home.

Well, I had two favorites that slipped right out of my mind when I saw the penguin face password toon-awesome! Thanks for another great Monday collection, Jill! I hope you warm up. Today is the first day in 2 weeks that it reached above freezing, and it’ll stay just above 32 yet not quite 33 degrees F overnight. Guess I won’t have to drip the faucets, at least! 🤣

I’m so happy that you enjoyed Jolly Monday!!! It warmed up to around 42° here today and the snow began to melt, but tonight we have rain that is freezing as soon as it hits the ground, since the ground is still so cold. Should make for an interesting morning commute! I’m glad to be retired! Ahhhhh … so you have to leave the faucets dripping, too! I don’t have to here unless it drops to around zero, but when I had a house I always had to! Have a good week ahead, my friend!

Jill, excellent assortment. Love the Dorothy one. It is apropos as one of my favorite analogies of Trump is the Wizard himself – ignore the man behind the curtain. With that said, the better analogy is the Queen of Hearts from “Alice in Wonderland.” Off with a critic’s head she/ he would exclaim. Keith

The parrot story was great, but I am concerned that if the parrot lives for 80 years, it will have to have someone to look after it when the lady dies.
Great funnies as always, I enjoy the henpecked old man and forgetting his newspaper was a classic.
Best wishes, Pete.

I had the same thought, Pete. Hopefully she has kids or grandkids who will give the parrot the same sort of love she is giving him … or maybe she’ll live another 80 years, too! Glad you enjoyed Jolly Monday! Have a great week ahead!

So I was up and couldn’t get back down. Waiting for the 3AM demons to come I fired up some Dire Straits and came to Filosofa’s to see what fresh hell awaits the day. Anyway Ace comes and wants to see what else is up at 3AM and 3*F and the 25 yr old is asking the music be turned down for interfering with his game play. The demons never came. Afraid of the smiles I guess.😉 As stated by one of the world’s great philosophers in one of the panels “Why should I have been the lucky one?”
