Itzl Alert Network: Tuesday, May 28, 2024: A play on words

A few days ago, while reading my newspaper “Wichita Eagle,” one of the comic strips, called “Baldo,” featured the following pun:

A young man said he had ordered an axe from South America.

He said he had always wanted to have an axe sent to him from abroad.

This inspired me to publish an Itzl diary full of puns.

As you can tell by Itzl’s concerned look, this group is for us to let people know that we are alive, we are OK, and we are not affected by heat, blizzards, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or anything else that might keep us from Daily Kos. If you are not here or anywhere else on Daily Kos and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heat waves, hurricanes, etc.), we will check on you. If you will be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We will take care of it!

IAN is a great group to join and a good place to learn journaling. Send any of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share posting duties and we welcome all who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Each member is an editor, so everyone gets a turn if they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote, or news to report!

This is our current schedule for regular IAN diarists:

Monday: Youffraita

Tuesday: sabrina_sabrina_sabrina

Wednesday: Pam from California

Thursday: Art ah zen

Friday: FloridaSNMOM

Saturday: FloridaSNDad

Sunday: Subscribe to

The little dog is called Itzl.

So I looked around my cozy little apartment for ideas.

I have two wall clocks.

What did the policeman say about the wall clock?

“Show me your hands!”

I looked at my many lamps.

What if I complained about one of my lamps and called it a bad lamp?

Would that be a lampshade?

I looked at my ceiling fan.

I looked at my bed under the ceiling fan.

I take a lot of naps and enjoy the relaxing feeling of just lying there.

If I really enjoy lying in my bed and staring at the ceiling, does that make me a ceiling fan?

I have a navel orange in my fridge.

If I stare at it and admire it before I eat it, would that be navel gazing?

I am a tenant and not a homeowner.

If I were a homeowner and started renovating my kitchen, but the project took an unexpected turn and it looked like it was going to cost me way too much money, would that be a kitchen sink?

(Put too much money into it.)

And don’t even want to talk about a bathroom renovation, because here you might see money being flushed down the toilet.

(So ​​to speak.)

I checked my bathroom.

If I had an artificial pile of rubber, would it be a fake pile?

If I were to write a beautiful song about bathing, would the music be bars of soap?

I have about 100 mason jars.

A very active commenter here at Daily Kos is Private Jar Head.

This makes it clear to me: If anyone, man or woman, with the name Mason as their first, middle, or last name joins the Marine Corps, that person becomes Mason the Fool.

And if someone is a member of the Freemasons or a stonemason by trade, are there people who might own tankards? Their tankards would be Masonic tankards.

And what if someone who is a Freemason or is called a Freemason experiences a big surprise?

Mason was shocked.

I actually hugged a tree, a big oak tree, near my front door.

It seems silly, but the last time I did this I saw a possum across the street.

There are so many cats and dogs in my area.

But if I try to pet another person’s dog, I may get bitten.

So the tree is better because the worst that could happen to me would be to scratch my arm on the tree bark.

So the bark of the tree is worse than its bite.

(Because the tree doesn’t bite.)

I picked up a lot of dead leaves from the gutter in front of my house.

While I was removing the rotten leaves from the curb, I was simultaneously improving the curb and shell of my house.

If I normally walk a quarter mile south from my home and then back, but sometimes I take a detour and walk west and then back, is that detour a walkway?

Here is a video from my brother-in-law’s YouTube channel:

My brother-in-law cuts down small trees and cuts them into logs.

In this video you can see the logs he cut at home.

He writes in a notebook what work he does and how much he gets paid for it.

Is this notebook his logbook?

What happens when a young couple is struggling to renovate their house and the parents of one of them step in and have a new floor put in, one made of real wood, that looks great when it’s finished and the young couple is completely stunned when they see it?

They were flat.

I have a nice toolbox.

When I built this ramp, I used some of these tools.

It felt so good to get rid of her.

Okay, I guess I’ll stop at this point!

Post puns in the comments if you like.

Or just ignore the whole pun thing if you want.

You can just shake it off:

Hugs!
