The last time I was in a bar I ordered Rum and Coke. The bartender asked if Pepsi was ok. I said sure.

So he made me a Pepsi and Coke.

TODAY IS SANTA'S LIST DAY!

Santa does a lot of things to determine which list you are on, the Naughty List or the Nice List. He has even been reading all your social media posts.

Most of you are getting dictionaries for Christmas.

TODAY IS NATIONAL ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD DAY!

My wife thinks it will be expensive to replace our roof. I told her that I thought the roofer would say it was free. When she asked why, I told her that the roof, after all, was "on the house."

TODAY IS NATIONAL MUTT DAY!

My wife told me she had adopted a pure-bred German shepherd, retired police dog. The dog she brought into the house, however, was (to be kind) a mutt.

When I said so, she replied, "You don't understand. He's undercover."

I don't know if it's true or one of Granny's myths.

TODAY IS NATIONAL SARDINES DAY!

I hadn't had sardines in a long time. But when I opened the tin, the sardines looked all dried out.

Maybe that's because they are supposed to be desiccated; maybe they went bad.

Either way, long time no sea.

Because they are sub-marines.
