Friday’s Funnies – My Faves This Week – September 26, 2025

I know. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? My life has been a bit upside-wonky for the past few months. Things are finally beginning to calm, and I hate to even say this, but things are looking up. Now, if shit starts flowing downhill, then I’ll know I jinxed things by being positive. 

I hope all is well with all of you, my readers. This lovely Friday, I share with you some funny memes I’ve come across and saved for you. I hope you enjoy this collection! Now, let the laughs begin!

A Spider In My Shirt! A Spider In My Shirt!

If you know anything about me at all, you know that spiders freak me out. I mean, to the point of being absolutely terrified of them! One time, when I worked in the nursing home, a tarantula came out from under the snack machine and I was at least 10 feet away but when it headed in my direction, I screamed! Some of the more alert old ladies heard the commotion and wondered what had happened. Spider happened.

The other day, I was ready for my afternoon nap and I got somewhat settled in my power chair, with pillows under my knees. I reached for my blanket hanging over the back of my chair that I hadn’t used in a few days because it’s been so warm. I was flipping it around, trying to get it straightened and I felt something land in my shirt. I thought, what the hell was that? I looked right away and there was a spider! It wasn’t too big but big enough to scare the bejesus out of me. I just about lost my mind. I can’t get up fast so jumping up out of my chair to rid myself of the 8-legged freak was out of the question. I had no choice but to use my shirt to grab it. I didn’t let go. I was trying to figure out what the hell to do and the only thing I could think of was to squish it. I didn’t squish it to beyond recogntion because I wanted to see what kind it was.

I have been bitten by a Brown Recluse before (identified by me, my dad, and a doctor) and it wasn’t pleasant. I didn’t suffer the tissue damage that most people experience. It was red, swollen, and itchy. I used tea tree oil on it until I could get to the doctor. It was more stressful than anything else and my blood pressure showed it. Anyway, this current situation wasn’t anything like the Brown Recluse incident but I sure as hell knew I didn’t want whatever kind of spider it was, to bite me! Upon removing it from my shirt and inspection, I discovered it wasn’t a Brown Recluse. Thank goodness!

It was an awful experience, regardless. I hate spiders. If I could rid this world of one thing it would be spiders….or maybe…well, you guess what the other might be. Snort.

Beep, Beep, Beep and My Scattered Thoughts At 5am

Why can’t they make things that don’t beep with every push of a button? It annoys the heck out of me. Am I alone?

Seriously. To turn on my electric heater when it’s chilly in the morning, I have push a button and it beeps. If I have to change the settings, it beeps with every push of a button. Why? The infrared heater in the living room has the loudest beep ever! You can hear it all over the house! Why? Do they think everyone wants to hear it say, at 3am? Our propane heater doesn’t beep, but its button has an extremely loud click! Why?

My fan beeps with every touch of a button. Why?

My air fryer automatically starts at 15 minutes so if I only want to cook something for 5 minutes, I have to push a button 10 times. It beeps 10 freakin’ times! Why?

The same thing happens with my Instant Pot. If the last time it was used it was set at 40 minutes, and this time I just want to set it for 10 minutes, I have to listen to it beep 30 damn times before I get it down to 10 minutes! Why? Is that really necessary?

Let’s not forget the microwave. Every push of a button summons up another blasted beep. And when it’s finished, it decides I need to hear 4 more beeps, as if one beep isn’t enough to let me know when it’s done. Why? I get 10 beeps with the Instant Pot when it’s finished, and 8 beeps with my air fryer! Why?

My breadmaker has its beeps, too. Why?

If the answer to WHY is that the maker wants you to know that it’s working, that’s just stupid. Why, you ask? Because there’s a digital display on those things and that should be enough for a person with a half of a brain to see that they have turned the appliance on or off, or changed the settings. Good grief.

Why can’t all my appliances be like my crock pot? It’s quiet as a mouse. Not a sound. And it doesn’t even have a digital display! I turn a knob to turn to put it on high or low, and to turn it off. Simple. Gotta love simple.

Nothing is simple these days. All we get now are beeps.

Beep, beep, beep.

Auch Zwerge Haben Klein Angefangen

Dad and I watch a movie from our movie collection every Friday night, unless of course we forget that it’s Friday. That happens more often than you think. The Friday before last, we watched a black and white film by Werner Herzog entitled Auch Zwerge Haben Klein Angenfangen (Even Dwarfs Started Small). It’s a German film made in 1970 about you guessed it, dwarfs.

The film was banned in Germany, as anarchistic and blasphemous, and the director earned death threats for portraying dwarfs as monstrous. I read somewhere, I can’t recall where, that the movie was smuggled out of Germany disguised as other movies.

The plot of the movie is simple: Some dwarfs confined to an institution have been denied the pleasure of leaving on an excursion with others and rebel against the director of the institution, who is also a dwarf. They break windows and dishes, set a truck to drive in circles, have food fights and cock fights, look at dirty magazines, set fires, kill a pig, crucify a monkey, and tease some blind dwarfs. Oh, I almost forgot the laughter. Not just laughter. Dwarf laughter. Crazy, cackling dwarf laughter. OMG.

This was the second time I had seen this movie and the first time, my reaction was shock! This time I knew what to expect. I couldn’t help but laugh my damn fool head off. Of course, there were some really boring moments but once you start watching you won’t want to stop! Below are some video clips and the full movie, found on You Tube. Oh, before I forget; Be prepared for subtitles, unless of course, you understand German. I understand some, but I still appreciate the subtitles.

 

 

 

Watch the full movie here, if you dare! The link below will take you directly to You Tube. I guess they want to make sure kids don’t see it. Probably a good idea!

 

Have fun and Happy Monday!
