As our summer season has now past and we are now into our beautiful Fall season leading to winter, I believe it is time to share some seasonal jokes, as we prepare for the weather changes that we all know are coming to our great Upper Peninsula.

Of course, our fall season brings us the beautiful colors of the magnificent tree population that we are blessed to have here in the U.P.

Certainly, we all know that this will be followed by our Winter season, much to the delight of the downhill and cross country skiers, snow shoe enthusiasts, and snowmobilers who truly take advantage of these very popular winter sports.

This having been said, let us now take a look at some silly jokes to lead us into our upcoming Upper Peninsula seasonal changes.

Fall jokes

≤ What did the boy autumn leaf say to the lovely girl autumn leaf? I’m really falling for you.

≤ Why do Upper Peninsula birds fly south to Florida in the fall? Because it’s way too far to walk.

≤ If money really did grow on trees, in the fall we all would really be raking it in.

≤ Why was summer able to catch up with autumn? Because autumn had a “fall.”

≤ What did autumn say to summer? Make like a tree and leave.

≤ What is the best vehicle to use for your fall hay ride? Your “autumn-mobile”.

≤ Summer is out and autumn is in. Now we go from swimming pools to football pools.

≤What do trees say when their leaves grow back in the spring? What a “re-leaf”.

≤ Fall is the season when we check our Winter clothes to see what fun the moths had all summer long.

≤ A Yooper decided to do something about all the autumn leaves in his yard, so he closed the curtain.

≤ Last fall, I had to fix a hole in my Halloween pumpkin, so I used a “pumpkin patch.”

≤ Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. And I sincerely hope you do, too.

Winter jokes

≤ What did one snowman ask the other snowman? “Do you smell carrots?”

≤ The snow lady was dating the neighbor snow man, but she stopped because he was really “flaky.”

≤ The snowman’s favorite breakfast food is “Frosted Flakes.”

≤ What keeps falling down in the winter, and never gets hurt? Snow flakes.

≤ What is the snow lady’s favorite cosmetic? Cold cream.

≤ What is the name of Mr. Snowman’s favorite aunt? Aunt Artica.

≤ What is the most polite thing you can say to a snowman? Have an ice day.

≤ Where do Mr. and Mrs. Snowman go when they want to dance? To the “snow ball.”

≤ What do snowmen like to do on the week-end? They really like to “chill out.”

≤ In my secret genetics lab, I crossed a snowman with a vampire. I got “frostbite.”

≤ What is the snowman’s favorite hat? That would be his “ice cap.”

≤ The winter hat told the winter scarf to hang around down there because he was going on “a head.”

I sincerely hope you enjoy our upcoming change of seasons and be sure to get out and enjoy our great Fall colors. If you are going out to enjoy any of our U.P. winter sports, be certain to dress properly and be careful as you enjoy these fun winter activities. Yes, these are Doctor’s Orders!
