JotD: Close Shave (PWH00017)

The PolyBlog
May 7 2025
A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.  “I have just the thing,” says the barber, taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. “Just place this between your cheek and gum.”  The client places the ball in his mouth, and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech. “And what if I swallow it?”  “No problem,” says the barber. “Just bring it back tomorrow, as everyone else does.”

JotD: The hole in the woods (PWH00013)

The PolyBlog
May 6 2025
Two guys are walking through the woods and come across a big deep hole. “Wow…that looks deep.”  “Sure does… toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is.” They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait… no noise.  “Jeeez. That is REALLY deep… here…throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise.” They pick up a couple of football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait… and wait. Nothing.  They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, “Hey…over here in the weeds, there’s a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it’s GOTTA make some noise.”  The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly, it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished at what they’ve just seen.  Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over. “Hey… have you two guys seen my goat out here?”  “You bet we did! Craziest thing I’ve ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!”  “Nah”, says the farmer, “That couldn’t have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie.”

JotD: Oy vey (PWH00008)

The PolyBlog
May 2 2025
Henry Cohen’s parents were not happy that he was not married by the age of 30 and they kept telling him so. He wanted to please his parents but couldn’t meet a nice girl. In desperation, he married a goyish prostitute.  His new wife’s friends were worried because she had stopped showing up at her regular street corner, but one evening she appeared, in new clothing and fancy jewelry. Naturally, the friends were curious, and she told them how she had married a nice Jewish boy.  “What about his parents?” they asked.  She answered, “They love me. After Henry told them about us, they had a party every evening for a week. They called it shiva.”

JotD: Ballerina (PWH00004)

The PolyBlog
May 1 2025
This large, sweaty woman, wearing a sleeveless, stained sundress, walks into a bar. She raises her right arm, revealing a quite unshaven armpit as she points to all the people sitting at the bar. “What damn gentleman around here will buy this young lady a drink?”, she demands in a deep, gravelly voice.  The whole bar goes dead silent, as the patrons try to ignore her. The men next to her quickly move away, mainly because of her body odour. At the end of the bar, a skinny little drunken man slams his hand on the bar and says: “Bartender! Put it on my tab. I want to buy that ballerina a drink!”. The bartender obliges and pours the drink.  After she chugalugs the drink, she turns again to the patrons and points around at all of them, again revealing her hirsute armpit. “What &%¤#@ gentleman around here will buy a #@¤%& lady a drink?”, she again asks.  Once again, the little drunk slaps his hand down on the bar and says: “Bartender! I’d like to buy that ballerina another drink!”  After serving the lady her second drink, the bartender approaches the little drunk. “It’s your business,” says the bartender, “if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her a ballerina?”.  “Sir!”, replies the drunk, “Any woman who can lift her leg up that high has got to be a ballerina!”

    Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and LemongrassJune 12, 2026
    Green Curry Chicken - This is one of my favourite dishes, compliments of a cooking course through the local public school board. I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.

    It’s not you, it’s me: my first book-club breakupJune 12, 2026
    I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →

    I feel like I’m having an old gangster movie flashback sequence where maybe Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney or Edward G. Robinson are talking to some wiseguys, see, and they’re gonna listen, see. I went all in this month, see, casing every joint, err, bestseller list in town. Get the lay of the land, see. That’s … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Three kitchens, one frogMay 28, 2026
    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →
