The End of August. This is a time of year. Pivotal. Summer's end, Autumn's beginning.
Google doesn't retrieve very much: There's one song by Yanni. There are no companies named End of August, no movies, no video games, no websites named endofaugust.com. No restaurants or clothing companies. Not enough ads for Google on this topic.
With all the COVID related end of August announcements, it is hard to have any of these bittersweet ideas: back-to-school isn't the same this year as any time in the past. Autumn in the past is full of new things - new schedules, schools, hobbies, social groups - all kinds of things 'start up' in September. We're waiting to see if we can go into a building with more than 10 people. I started exercising at the Y last week, and it will be outdoors for the near-term.
August turns out to be a great month for jokes. I went into the ocean of jokes on the Internet.
Q: On the first day of school, what did the teacher say her three favorite words were? A: June, July & August.
The doctor has given me two months to live. I've chosen August and December, because I like summer but don't want to miss Christmas.
I celebrate Halloween in August. When you show up at someone's door at night in August with a mask on, you get better stuff.
A guy had an abusive girlfriend named Lorraine. Lorraine didn't know her boyfriend was cheating on her with a lovely girl named Clearly. In August Lorraine died. At the funeral, People wondered why the guy wasn't sad, and why he was so happy. When they asked him why he was so happy at the funeral he sang..." I can see Clearly now, Lorraine is gone !"
For Justin Bieber haters, please respect him as I owe him my life. Last year in August, I had been in a coma for 6 months. Then one day my nurse turned on the radio and his songs were playing. So i woke up and turned it off.
Paddy had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 18th birthday. On that special day, they'd each walked across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink.
So when Paddy's, 18th birthday came around, he and his pal Mick, took a boat out to the middle of the lake, Paddy, stepped out of the boat ... and nearly drowned! Mick just barely managed to pull him back into the boat and safety. Furious and confused, Paddy, went to see his grandmother.
'Grandma,' he asked, "Tis me 18th birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the lake like me farder, his farder, and his farder before him?"
Granny looked deeply into Paddy's, troubled brown eyes and said, "Because ye farder, ye grandfarder and ye great-grandfarder were all born in January, when the lake is frozen, and ye were born in August, ya bloody idiot!"
