True thing:
I happen to be a member of the Nextdoor app.
On 01-Apr, a notable character there posted: Just saw the News release from NASA, that the Eclipse has been postponed from Monday, and moved to Tuesday… Please make and change your plans accordingly. Please pass on..This is important..

Many members appreciated the joke. Some actually thought it was true.

My reply: Due to budgetary constraints, the event is being downgraded from a total to a partial eclipse.
Hardly matters, as soon as the shadow crosses the border from Mexico, it'll likely be arrested.

Not actually a joke. In the northern part of Austin, there's a strip of land maybe a half mile or longer running along I-35 between two major roads. In this space, there are several clusters of strip malls along the back side of it and in some areas, there are smaller strip malls and stand-alone stores closer to the frontage road. I rarely have a reason to do any business there. But I was there today; took my time driving through, looking for a place that might sell a particular size, style, and color blackout curtains to match a set I already have in my living room. No luck to that end, but I dud a double take at one establishment I came across.

With my extreme dietary limitations, the only foreign food places I go to are Outback, China Palace, one specific taco shop, and a pizza shop that understands my issue. So, I've never tried Nigerian food; probably never will. But I'm certain that the vast majority of the population of the Austin are will take a pass at this particular Nigerian restaurant. It has the mouthwatering name of: Palatable.

So, I came across a homeless person the other day, begging on a street corner. Being in a giving mood, I offered him a choice between $10, or a giant sandwich. The guy looked at the money, then the sandwich, the money again and the sandwich again.... Then all of a sudden he screamed, and ran off. I was stunned for a moment but then suddenly realized...

Beggars can't be choosers.

This came up today on my FB Memories and I thought I'd share it....

Two brooms were hanging in the closet and after a while they got to know each other so well, they decided to get married.
One broom was, of course, the bride broom, the other the groom broom.
The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.
After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, 'I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!'
'IMPOSSIBLE !' said the groom broom.
Are you ready for this?
Brace yourself! this is going to hurt !! !! !
'WE HAVEN'T EVEN SWEPT TOGETHER!'

A frog hopped into a bank and went to the loan manager, Paddi Whack, to apply for one. As collateral the frog offered up what appeared to be a rather cheap trinket. Not wanting to outright deny the loan request Paddi went to the bank manager to ask her opinion. She looked at the trinket and said, It's a knick-knack Paddi Whack, give the frog a loan."

I asked the guy serving me about his day, and it turns out we had similar interests. He said he was Greek, and some of his ancestors were actually pretty famous in their time. As he laid the hot, salty fries in front of me I took a good bite. It ended up tasting awful, and he took it back to throw it away. He apologized, “Sorry, we must’ve used some pretty ancient greece to fry them.”

A rope walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender says, "woah, we don’t serve your kind here."
The rope goes back outside and ties a knot in himself to look like a head and frays the end to make it look like hair and goes back in.

The bartender squints and asks “You wouldn’t happen to be that rope from earlier would you?”

The rope says “Nope. I’m a frayed knot.”
