The definition funny can be humour - causing laughter or amusement or difficult to explain or understand, strange or odd.
What kind of jokes are these? Are they funny ha ha or funny weird? Or both?
I have some good news and some bad news,” says a doctor to a patient after an operation. “OK, tell me the bad one first,” says the patient shakily. “You see, once we started operating, there were complications and we had to amputate both of your arms.” “Oh no! What’s the good news then?” “Do you see that stunningly beautiful nurse over there? She just agreed to be my wife!”
Patient to his doctor: “Doctor, please help me. I think I’m a moth.” The doctor says: “I’m sorry, but I’m not your guy. You have to go see a psychiatrist.” The patient sighs: “I wanted to. But the light in your office is so much brighter!”
A patient runs out of the operation room, screaming. A doctor stops him and asks: “What on Earth is happening?! Why are you running?!” The patient breathes heavily: “I was about to be operated on, doctor. And then the nurse said: ‘Come now, stop panicking. You’ll manage just fine!’” The doctor shrugs: “Oh but that’s nice, no? Nurse being supportive to you?” The patient gets angry: “She was talking to the surgeon!”

Carol asks what the blossoms were in yesterday's picture. We see today that they are Crepe Myrtle. The lily flower is Belladona Lily, followed by the familiar Queen Anne's Lace.
It's an all-woman spaceflight that's in the news. Is this a big deal? I find out it is.
There have been 420 spacewalks and at least one man has taken part in every one of them. Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir are the two woman to carry out a spacewalk today.
Koch was supposed to do a spacewalk with another female crewmate in March. But NASA had to scrap the plan just a few days in advance because there wasn’t enough time to get a second medium-size spacesuit ready. The second medium was put together on board in June.
So while there have been 420 spacewalks, Koch became the 14th woman to walk in space last March 29 when she and crewmate Nick Hague worked to install the second set of solar array batteries.
A total of 565 people have gone to space from over 38 countries. One source says 40 and the Atlantic article says 60 American women have flown in space.
The first woman flew into space in 1963 - a Soviet. A number of American women underwent the astronaut selection process in the early 1960s - and passed. They were not eligible to be astronauts: All astronauts were required to be military test pilots, a career not available to women at the time.
NASA opened the space program to female applicants in 1978, in response to the new anti-discrimination laws of the time. Sally Ride became the first female US astronaut to go into space in 1983. At the time, the press asked her questions about her reproductive organs and whether she would cry if things went wrong on the job. Things have improved since then.
So this turns out to be a big deal and worth noting in the press. The Atlantic has an article on why there were so few women in space - it is HERE.
Where is this blossom-strewn path? In the Sacramento Cemetery. This was a wonderful highlight of the visit.
