Thankful Thursdays...For Someone Spreading Humor

It may not seem like it, but we all have so much to be thankful for...even while humorous signwe are traveling this bumpy road we are on.

This week, I am thankful for someone I don’t even know. Each morning I do a quick check-in on my Nextdoor App. For example, I can check to see how many of the coveted Ford tailgates have been stolen in the area. (remember...I’m in Texas)

 

But recently I came across someone who has been placing humorous signs in his neighborhood.  You could call them the adult version of the chalk art that kids have been leaving on sidewalks for us...encouraging us to Be Kind. 

 

Here are just a few of his signs.

Anyone who would take the time to do this for his neighbors is someone we need more of in this world.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life. William Arthur Ward



BTW...I asked the humorous author of these signs if I could share them with you and he very graciously gave his permission.

Kathy Streib these are really great, gave me a good laugh to start my day off, can't decide which I like the best they are all good. Yes, a good person to have in your neighborhood.

Hello Kathy - humor is worth spreading. Ahh, truck tailgates in Texas...maybe, that's why I see NextDoor reports of catalytic converter thefts when I read neighborhood news on my ND feed.    Local differences. huh?

I like those...maybe someone in our neighborhood should do the same thing??? I guess I will have to look into your version of nextdoor.

Our version>>>word of mouth>>> or just walk across the culdesac.

Neighbor was gone and had his tools, deep freeze, fridge, and air compressor outside while having his garage floor refinished.   Started to rain...I walked over and tarped them.  Received a text last Wed evening that they needed help putting them in the garage.    I walked over and within 1 minute there were 4 households there helping me>>> that is our ND app I guess!!!

That's pretty funny, Kathy. Bet the neighbors get a kick out of the humor, and these days we can all use it.

I looks to me like someone is stealing posts off or Facebook. Or maybe I am just jealous of the creativity. No matter. They are still funny and I appreciate sign maker's desire to make a difficult time more tolerable.

Those are too cute and funny!  That is an awesome idea!  There's so much bad news out there and it seems like that's all they want to talk about. Laughter is good for the soul!  Thanks for making me laugh today. :)

Hi Kathy Streib - I am sure that many people in the neighborhood got a real laugh out of those signs.  Your quotes fit perfectly. I too, am on Next Door and some of the drama is actually amusing. Have a great day.

We certainly do need a lot of humor with the world craziness. We sure could use Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Don Rickles to name a few.... they were so funny
