    An older lawyer has become a judge in the district he served, and one of his first cases turns out to be a man he’d represented in several cases in the past, mostly petit larceny. As the man is led into the courtroom, the judge’s face breaks into a warm grin.

    “Well, Steve,” says the judge, “It’s good to see you again, though maybe you know it’s not so good for you. You’re aware, aren’t you, that I can’t represent you this time?”

    “Yassir, I know that,” comes the defendant’s reply.

    “So what do you plan to do?”

    “I guess I’m just gonna have to tell the truth this time.”

    There was a comic named Alan King who had a fantastic routine called “Survived by his Widow!” He used actual Obits. One guy was 104, Survived by his Widow! I don’t remember if he mentioned her age or not, but just hilarious.

    I connected a hamster wheel to a generator to power my house.

    We’re all hamsters on a wheel of some sort.

    Take care, may secret forest clown and revered philosopher Jean-Paul “It’s All About Something Or Other” Sartrord be with you, and gesundheit.

    A little boy was continually asking his Mom to buy him a hamster.

    When she finally did, the child looked after it for a couple of days, but soon he got bored, and it became the Mom’s responsibility to feed it.

    One day she got upset with the her son’s carelessness and asked him, “How many times do you think this hamster would have died until now, if I hadn’t been looking after it?”

    “Um, I don’t know. Once?”

    As a retired engineer I wonder about the structural loading on the bottom donuts. I think they needed to be “aged” several weeks to support the weight of the other layers.

    Are hamsters physical fitness nuts or are they just bored?

    Saw a video of a hamster that uses the wheel by lying on her back under it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gIH94st0mY
