The Unusual Pet – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your Captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1487 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life. We are told in 15:30&version=NLT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in 17:22&version=NLT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

The Unusual Pet

Joe finally moved out of his parent’s house and got an apartment for himself. He figured with being thirty now; it was about time to make the leap. His parent readily agreed with him. At first, Joe was ok, but after a few days, he was not only missing his mom’s cooking, but he found that it was quite lonely living by himself.  He was sitting by himself one evening after work thinking about how lonely he was, so Joe decided that he needed to accept more responsibility in his life and figured it would be more fun if he had a pet. The next day was Saturday, so in the morning, Joe went to the pet store and told Bob, the owner, that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion with Bob, Joe decided on a foot-long centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house. Joe decided that he would name his new pet ‘Millie.’ Joe took Millie home, found a good location for the box home, and then decided he would start off his new friendship by taking Millie to a restaurant to have dinner.

He peered in the window of the box at Millie and said, “Would you like to go to McDonald’s with me to have dinner?” There was no answer from Millie, and this bothered Joe a bit. He waited a few minutes and then asked Millie again, “How about going to McDonald’s with me?” But again, there was no answer from his new friend Millie.

Joe was getting impatient and frustrated with the lack of response. Joe waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time. This time, putting his face up against the window of Millie’s house, Joe shouted, “Hey, in there! Would you like to go to McDonald’s with me to have dinner?”

A little voice came out of the box: “Hey Joe, hang loose, I heard you the first time! I’m putting on my shoes!!”

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “What goes click ninety-nine times and clack once? A centipede with a clubfoot.”

Here is our verse for today:

Genesis 1:28

Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
