Last night’s democratic victories upset Donald Trump so much, an emergency call went out from the White House for ketchup.

I once went to see a theatrical production of Waiting for Godot. It was aptly titled because the actors never showed up.

If Jehovah Witnesses we’re smart, they’d choose Halloween to knock on doors.

As a kid—when I went out for Halloween—I could easily tell which girls would grow up to be hookers, as they were the ones knocking on doors saying “tricks.”

A stolen, sentient Moon rock holds the key to Earth survival when a solar eclipse raises the dead in an Arkansas cemetery, filling an ancient, unforeseen prophesy, ushering humanity into a new age of planetary change.

I went from #37 to #82 on Substack’s Rising in Humor chart, yet somehow I’m above Dave Barry who’s at #91? (pats self on the back for this accomplishment).

Currently, #37 on Substack’s Rising in Humor chart!

I wish I knew how this works? Is it just likes, comments or new paid subscribers (or a combination) which contributes to placing someone on the chart?

But, whatever the reason(s), I thank you all for enjoying my comedy!

It truly means a lot!
