Rackman Introduces Two Linemen

Joe McDonnell, 78 and residing in Palmville Twp, Minnesota, recently introduced two clothesline users to each other. "I use a rack myself," McDonnell tells the press. "A friend visiting from the city, and a clothesline user, came along when we were invited for pancakes at a local friend's log cabin. On entering the cabin, my city friend immediately noticed a reel containing a clothesline near the ceiling by the door and asked for a demonstration. My friend from the city said he has to consider the sensibilities of his neighbors when hanging out his underwear. The cabin friend says he doesn't have that concern.  He hangs heavy items such as towels as close to the wood stove fire as possible. The two men let their pancakes get cold as they discussed clothespins." McDonnell later revealed that his wife does the bulk of their laundry. "I'll pull a pair of dry socks off the rack for personal use," he says, "but that's about it".


Man's Teas Cross in the Mail

Joe McDonnell, 78 and a tea fancier, unnecessarily bought a box of Canadian tea bags recently. "I'm of Irish ethnicity," McDonnell tells reporters, "so I like to support the Irish tea industry. My local grocer doesn't stock Irish tea so I buy it online, 240 bags at a time. The tea always comes a week after I order it, but supply chain problems stretched it to three weeks. My online supplier originally said it would be four weeks so I bought 48 bags of Canadian tea at my local grocer because I was down to my last two bags of Irish tea, but the next day my Irish tea arrived a week early." McDonnell says he'll leave the Irish bags sealed up while he consumes the Canadian tea. "Tea is tea after all, eh."

When the atheist scientist meets God, he or she will say, Well, why didn’t you say it was you in the first place?



I am shocked when I get my weekly screen time report. No way! is my reaction. And besides, the report doesn't sort out time spent studying calculus or scripture versus time scrolling Facebook and instagram.



After a few days at the destination, the tourist can leave the guidebook behind on a cafe table. The believer looks upon the Bible the same way. 



Colonialism is the venue where one group of people live in chains to provide sugar and shirts for another group in another far off venue.

  1. Feeling rather excluded as the two newly-acquainted clothesline users, whom he's introduced, leave their pancakes to the cold to discuss clothespins among themselves, McDonnell impulsively interjects "I use a rack myself." Adding, "I'll pull a pair of dry socks off for personal use," omitting the fact this is only upon permission from his laundress.

  2. I totally agree, like a dirty window, the literal nature of scientists needs continual scrubbing.
