The COVID-19 pandemic and the brutal economic effects of widespread directives to stay at home if you possibly can are no laughing matter, except that, of course, they must be. Dark humor has always helped us through dark times.

“This quarantine is affecting everyone in the workforce, but it especially sucks for men. We’re losing a dollar for every 79 cents women are losing.”

I know he's gonna' drop it on his wife (she works full-time, longer hours, now at home) and I'll expect him to be knocking on the door at any time - looking for a place to stay!

Who else is self quarantining alone? I’m this close to naming a volleyball.

At the grocery store yesterday I saw at least 20 people buy massive amounts of toilet paper, pay with debit cards, use the PIN pads and then touch their faces. All I’m saying is at least the dinosaurs had an excuse.

I’ve found the best way to enforce social distancing is to ask people if they want to see a magic trick.

Well, at least fear of missing out isn’t a thing anymore.

In an unsettling reversal of my teenage years, I am now yelling at my parents for going out.

I don't know how to post but a friend sent me a two (2) minute video with advice from a Schnauzer. It's hysterical!

You can go to YouTube and put in "schnauzer advice coronavirus."
