The special Saturday edition of Need a Laugh Wednesday

I won't bore you all with uninteresting excuses of why I missed posting on Wednesday. Let's just say shit happens and move on, shall we?

I realized that last week's NALW installment on How to Wrap a Cat was premature. I neglected to share some of the preceding steps.

First, before you wrap your cats. You have to collect them. Here's one easy way.

Then, after you have your cats, you need sort and organize them. Here are several ingenious solutions.

(More ideas at Buzzfeed's 15 Ways to Organize Your Cats)

Before wrapping your cat, think about the recipient's taste. Does he/she like the Romantics or steers more toward Cezanne? Assign each cat to the appropriate giftee accordingly.

(More inspiration at Funny Cats Imitate Famous Paintings.)

Now you may proceed to wrapping your cat, following last week's video. On the attached gift card, please be sure to choose the correct cat font.

(More at Buzzfeed's 20 Cats as Fonts. And if you haven't seen the canine version, check out my blogpost from October on typography humor.)

[I promise next week's NALW will not involve cats. I don't want to develop more of a crazy cat lady reputation than I already have.]

Need a laugh Wednesday: How to wrap a cat

Well why not continue the holiday theme from my last I Might Make That! Monday?

A classic:

Serving up leftovers for Need a Laugh Wednesday

It never fails that whatever I choose as my topic for Need a Laugh Wednesday, invariably I later find something brilliant on that theme I wish I had included. So I'm serving up leftovers today.

My very first Need a Laugh was devoted to Beading Humor, so here's another serving. (I think I saw this on Mortira's Inspirational Beading Facebook page last week).

That was followed by some grammar gibes. So here's another heap o' snark:

When I featured cat humor, I meant to include this video. At the time, our rascally kittens were really into unrolling the toilet paper roll every chance they got, and I was sure they would graduate to this trick. Luckily, they haven't yet!

Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems; first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed trying to rest but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally got up to investigate and stumbled onto the cause of his high water bills.

And who among us has not mixed different leftovers together to create something new? Behold, a serving of combined grammar-cat humor!

Need a laugh Wednesday: cat humor

At some point I'll run out of humor topics relating directly to me, but this week's theme fits that bill. Although I love dogs and had one growing up, at some point our family made the decision that we were Cat People.

So here's some feline hijinks that I hope will make you smile. (Because, you know, there isn't enough cat humor on the Internet already.)
