Today's Chuckle(s)
New Year's resolutions
- I was going to quit all my bad habits for the New Year, but then I remembered that nobody likes a quitter.
- My wife still hasn’t told me what my New Year’s resolutions are.
- I love when they drop the ball in Times Square. It’s a nice reminder of what I did all year.
- What happened to the man who shoplifted a calendar on New Year’s Eve? He got 12 months!
- A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
