They say Atlas was the quiet, solemn type.

Always acting like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Happy Ending

A guy walks into a bar on Ash Wednesday and orders a beer. "I'm really having a hard time trying to decide what to give up for Lent," he tells the bartender. "Well let me tell you a little cautionary tale about giving things up for Lent," the bartender says. "A particular family in LA has been abstaining from using one letter of the alphabet for Lent each year, since 2001. It started as a joke, giving up "A" in 2001 and "B" in 2002, but developed into a strong family tradition. This year, one of the members has a tough choice to make. Unlike the rest of the Astleys, Rick made a solemn vow... "

I went up a mountain to speak to a mystic.

I asked him, "Can you tell me what it's all about, existence and all that?" His eyes looked up at me, from underneath his bushy brows. Solemnly he said, "That is is a tricky question, but you should go work in an aquarium. "I was confused. "An aquarium, why is that?" "Because then you will have porpoise in life."

Shot in the army

Son: "Hey dad"

Dad: "Hey son"

Son: "Were you ever shot in the army?"

The dad gets tears in his eyes, as he looks up remembering the distant past. He turns to his son with a solemn face.

Dad: "No, but I was shot in the leggy"

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Our family is seated at the table, eating breakfast. My brother, having returned from military college, takes a long look at his hard-boiled eggs. "These shells are way too thick." He complained. My father turns to my brother, understanding his predicament, and nods thoughtfully. "I'll have a word with the chickens." He vowed solemnly.

On the way to my Grandpa's funeral, who lost his battle with Alzheimer's

Dead silent on the way there for the majority of the ride. It was a very solemn trip, but then...

Dad: "You know, I had this great joke about Alzheimer's that my pops loved, but-- I just can't seem to remember it."

eyes roll/lightful chuckles ensue

Can always count on him to lighten the mood even in the darkest of times.

Human interest for 2021 Lent

A particular family in LA has been abstaining from using one letter of the alphabet for Lent each year, since 2001. It started as a joke, giving up "A" in 2001 and "B" in 2002, but developed into a strong family tradition.

This year, one of the members has a tough choice to make. Unlike the rest of the Astleys, Rick made a solemn vow...
