JotD: Mystery writers (PWH00070)

The PolyBlog
June 18 2025
How many mystery writers does it take to change a light bulb?  Two. One to screw the bulb almost all the way in, and one to give a surprising twist at the end.

JotD: Car allergies (PWH00029)

The PolyBlog
June 17 2025
A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors that a man’s car seemed to be allergic to vanilla ice cream. Every time he bought vanilla ice cream after dinner, his car wouldn’t start. Any other kind of ice cream, and it worked just fine.  The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter but sent an engineer to check it out anyway. The engineer was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well-educated man in a fine neighbourhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that night, and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn’t start.  The engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, the man got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night, he got vanilla. The car failed to start.  The engineer refused to believe that the car was allergic to vanilla ice cream and started taking detailed notes for multiple nights. In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavour because of the layout of the store.  The car was experiencing a vapour lock. If the guy bought any other flavour but vanilla, the car had time to cool down; if he bought vanilla, the car was too hot and wouldn’t start!

JotD: Benefits of Education (PWH00022)

The PolyBlog
June 13 2025
A friend of mine has a daughter who started out as a psych major, then switched to English Lit.  After that, she tried pre-law, which was followed by international affairs, history, and, at present, she’s in philosophy.  She may never graduate, but she’s unbeatable at Trivial Pursuit.

JotD: Laundry Day (PWH00020)

The PolyBlog
June 12 2025
Three women always hang their laundry out in the backyard. When it rains, however, the laundry always gets wet. All the laundry, that is, except for Sophie’s. The other two women wonder why Sophie never has her laundry out on the days that it rains. So, one day, they are all out in the backyard putting their clothes on the line when one of the women says to Sophie, “Say, how come when it rains, your laundry is never out?”  “Well,” says Sophie, “when I wake up in the morning, I look over at Saul. If his penis is hanging over his right leg, I know it’s going to be a great day, and I can hang out the wash. If his penis is hanging over his left leg, I know it’s going to rain, so I don’t hang out the wash.”  “What if he has an erection?” asks one of the women.  “Honey,” says Sophie, “on a day like that, you don’t do the laundry.”

    Saying goodbye to my nephew BrianJuly 3, 2026
    Last night, we had a celebration of life for my nephew Brian. He was 51. There was a good turnout, as the saying goes, of family and friends. A group that Brian himself would have felt was too large and too much fuss. And as I looked at the picture boards that his sister Julie, … Continue reading →

    Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango ChutneyJune 16, 2026
    Sweet Chicken Curry: This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn't a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.
